If he's got outside leverage on the ball-carrier and he's got that outside arm free, he's doing his job as a force defender. He's responsible for filling the gap outside of the OT, however it goes. He was already in that position before he dives.

Most DB vs. OL interactions don't end up like a Looney Tunes bit with the DB on the sidelines looking out the earhole on his helmet asking which way to Albuquerque or whatever, or for that matter even end up with the DB on the ground. Considering the play in question doesn't even seem to involve the DB making contact with the RB, but rather the RB getting tripped up trying to evade a pile of bodies- I don't think even if the DB gets owned it's going to be a problem, the pile of bodies is going to slow it down for the pursuit either way.
I don't think it's going to work out how you're envisioning it and I would abuse the hell out of this rule if I were a coach.

both are also criticized more harshly than others in their position for an obvious reason. norv's reason is that he is the only head coach with over 100 wins to have a losing record, and janeway's reason is that she said fear's only purpose is to be conquered. false. fear's purpose is to increase the chance of survival, humanity's greatest purpose.

This is going to be so much fun when he makes the team.

e: Barnwell says those were the only two plays he was asked to run block. So we can watch him improve, theoretically. Like if he falls down in the right place he's doing better.

the legit problem with Voyager is that Janeway is hypercompetent at EVERYTHING.

She's better at every other crew member at doing their job.

If the entire ship had been crewed by Janeways they'd have gotten home in a month.

Picard at least was a crochety old man who delegated cause he knew he wasn't great at things.

Lawrence Taylor showing up late to a game because the people ahead of him on the golf course went slow and he needed to finish the round (And probably also blow).

Janeway is good when the terrible script of the week doesn’t require her to be all “well I’m sure the crew won’t mind another three months in the quad to see this binary star system out of our way :)”. That poo poo is maddening. Like there are people who would probably like to get to see their wives and husbands and parents before they die! Maybe stop loving around!

When it comes to this regime you usually believe the opposite of what they're saying about the offense, so it's an open competition and Fields is winning it.

My original stance was the Bears should not let Fields die week 1 against Donald. Now, I think he's the only person on the roster who can generate an offense with that front 5.

Football Outsiders has their Preseason Week 1 walkthrough up

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/walkthrough/2021/tua-fields-and-lance-check-all-boxes

Excerpts below:

Fields

quote:

Fields looked lost when he first took the field. It didn't help that teammates kept jumping offsides and one snap rolled up to his ankles. He was much sharper in the third quarter, when both teams were digging deep into their benches, creating opportunities for Fields to operate in space and show off his ability to sling the ball on the run.

If you feel compelled to form an opinion on Fields' readiness as a starter right now, it's best to take the mean of Fields' first- and second-half performances. I'm guessing that few people will.

Mac Jones

quote:

GENERAL AUDIENCE EDITION: He looked OK.

Lance

quote:

Lance demonstrated obvious athleticism and a few soft skills, such as the touch on the Woerner pass and a willingness to find secondary targets. He was also increasingly jittery as the game progressed. But since the game was not nationally televised and the Sherfield bomb got about a zillion retweets just before East Coast fans logged off for the night, it's easy to believe Lance had some sort of transcendent debut, not just a solid one.

I'm about 70% ready to anoint Lance the 49ers' opening day starter. Those who claim to be 100% ready are either riding a popular narrative, made their minds up on draft night, or are basing their opinions on GIFs

Hurts

quote:

Hurts finished 3-of-7 for 54 yards, but with drops by Zach Ertz and Jalen Raegor. The Eagles offense is in 2019-2020 form, in other words. Hurts probably won't be the Eagles' biggest problem this year. There's no evidence yet that he's their long-term solution, either.

Lawrence

quote:

My expectations for Lawrence hover in the "survive a year of Meyer dippiness and maybe develop a little" range. He looks capable of meeting them.

Love

quote:

Love looked sharp and decisive, getting rid of the ball quickly on mostly prescribed throws and benefitting from a screen-and-go touchdown to someone named Kylin Hill before getting strip-sacked on a two-minute drill.

Wilson

quote:

Graded on a Jets curve, Wilson's debut was a triumph: he didn't bounce a fumble off a teammate's jockstrap or accidentally detonate a nuclear warhead. Also, he missed the very start of camp and suffered a minor hand injury early in the week, so just seeing him out there distributing short, mostly prescribed passes was encouraging.
