There are two types of beers Ales and Lagers. Lagers are fermented cooler and go through a cold storage process and ales are fermented at warmer temperatures and do not go through a cold aging process. When some brewers claim to "cold lager" their beer they really aren't, they are just lagering, which which when you are talking about beer is just cold storage. So really they don't need the "cold" in front of "lagered" cause it's the same thing in this case. And that ladies and gentleman is why the Zone-Read is not the Zone-Read-Option. And you're not cold lagering, you're just handing it off from the shotgun.

Is that clear enough?

You should probably be less smug when you're on your 2nd NFL team currently ranked near the bottom in every offensive category. And your former team jettisoned all your old players and is busy tearing up the NFL in offense.

Also I do not understand the JJ Watt backlash. He's this generation's lawrence taylor and is loving amazing. Just stay away from some of the fawning and appreciate the all time great who can destroy games at defense, those guys don't come around very often and it's super sad he's out for the year.

Word of Muth is on the Buccaneers this week: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/word-muth/2016/word-muth-tampa-twosome

quote:

One of the big reasons I wanted to cover Tampa Bay this year was to get a good look at their two second-year starters. One thing I've discovered writing this column for the past several years is that second-year guys are generally way more interesting to watch than rookies. Pretty much all rookie offensive linemen are below-average starters. Even the "good" ones who make Pro Bowls are overrated just because every writer and announcer knows who they are (usually they're first-round picks), and they actually are just good at some stuff (usually the stuff that requires a lot of athleticism) and bad at most everything else (knowing how much help to give, passing off stunts).

I was covering the Steelers and Cowboys during the rookie seasons of Maurkice Pouncey and Travis Frederick and both were just OK, and probably a tick below that. But people talked about them like they were top-five centers on Day 1. Both guys showed awesome flashes and both have grown into good players (Frederick in particular), but those first years were not the out-of-the-box sensations that everyone remembers.

No, it's typically the second year when you start to get a better feel for what a guy is going to be. The Bucs offer a nice team to study because not only do they have two second-year guys, they have a second-year guy who everyone thought sucked as a rookie (left tackle Donovan Smith), and another who most people thought played pretty well (right guard Ali Marpet). Today's column is going to focus on those two, starting with Smith.

JJ Watt is the most dominant defender in the NFL in 20 years (Ok, maybe a bit less). How many guys on defense do you plan around? Yeah, there are some amazing players, but not change the entire game on that side of the ball good

Suh is amazing, and as a Nebraska fan I love him most dearly. In college he was exactly what Watt was - an unstoppable force able to dominate games and throw quarterbacks around like rag dolls. He can't really do that in the NFL with any sort of consistency especially now that he is stuck on whatever it is that the dolphins assembled. JJ Watt can. Actually none of those guys can and it's not even particularly close. The comparison to his destruction of defenses is basically Reggie white (:3:) in the 80s, the last player who just absolutely dominated in all aspects of the game head and shoulders above the competition.

the ringer posted:

In Football Outsiders’ defeats statistic, which includes stops on third and fourth down, plays behind the line, and turnovers, Watt’s 77 tops the league over the past two seasons combined, and is 138 percent of the 55.77 average for players ranked nos. 2–10. Defeats for 2015 will be released in the Football Outsiders Almanac later this year, but the site’s founder, Aaron Schatz, was kind enough to show me Watt’s figures, along with these nuggets:

FOA credited Watt with 51 hurries last year. Nobody else totaled more than 37.5 (Carlos Dunlap). Watt had 33 QB hits, including plays canceled by penalty. Olivier Vernon was second at 30.

Looking at the overall totals for 2013 and 2014, Watt’s superiority is clear by those numbers too. FOA credited him with 35 hits in 2014. Ziggy Ansah was second with 19, and the nos. 2–10 average was only 15.88, essentially half of Watt’s total. He had 11 more hurries than second place Von Miller that year, and three more run tackles for loss than second place Lavonte David. Two years ago, the numbers weren’t quite as ridiculous, but they were still pretty absurd. Watt finished third in run tackles for loss, but he still had 15 more quarterback hits (36) than any other player, nearly doubled the average for the rest of the top 10, and finished fourth in hurries by Football Outsiders’ numbers.

Which is funny because Watt wasn't that in college. He was good for sure, but Suh is probably the single most dominant college defensive player that I have personally watched.
