LEFT 4 DEAD IS A LOT LIKE FOOTBALL - I JERK OFF TO BOTH

I swear I remember you or another raiders fan posting tweets or proof of this before but I’m drawing blanks. Hes the dude who had multiple gifs of just not even trying to block edge rushers right?

Yes definitely. I wasn't the guy with proof but this dude would just basically allow people to run right past him and not give a single gently caress.

I understand if you're unhappy somewhere (don't sign a huge free agent deal to go there if that's the case) or you're making a business decision on not getting injured but it was particularly egregious in his case.

The Johnson re-sign had been known about for a few days, but I believe the Toohill hadn't been leaked before the official press release.

You can just say Steve Grogan.

I could narrowly get the Pats to the playoffs with him but I don't remember if I was ever able to win a playoff game.




He was a decent deep threat on the Seahawks for a minute. I think teams just forgot he existed and he'd occasionally break a big one.

You just chuck it deep to Marv Cook and hope Grogan throws a jump ball. If not it's an armpunt but it's not like you're moving the ball any other way in the playoffs anyway.

Almost as challenging is Brister because with his super high Passing Speed and super low everything else he throws low line drives all over the place, plus the Steelers have no receivers even as good as Marv Cook. But at least you get to use RodGod on defense.

Grogan should be benched for Marc Wilson, but yeah, just take some deep shots and hope for jump balls with him.

With Brister (Or the similarly rated Billy Joe Tolliver of the Chargers), it’s actually fairly easy to have an effective passing game, you just need to throw it short, since the high passing speed has everything at a low trajectory and makes them more susceptible to getting picked by guys underneath. The best are plays that spread the field both vertically and horizontally, where they’ll give you something short where you can roll slightly and not have anyone between you and the receiver, particularly two of the Shotgun passes (X Drive and Z S-In). Some of the Run and Shoot plays, like Flare C and Z Fly, work really well too, as does the classic Pro T Flare D. Bigger issue for Pittsburgh is IIRC they just have now speed at any skill spots, so it’s an utter grind to do anything offensively.

The worst QBs in the game to me are probably Jim Harbaugh and Jeff George. Both have just enough pass speed to give them flatter trajectories, but horribly low pass control ratings that makes them more likely to get picked if there is any defender underneath, and they don’t have the cannon arms that Tolliver and Brister have which make quick check downs work. Grogan’s super low pass speed actually makes him slightly better since his stuff ends up as rainbows that go over everyone’s head, and makes him occasionally effective at deep balls.

I felt like a kid again reading this, holy gently caress it's like a time warp.

Edit: Weird that George didn't have a cannon arm in Tecmo apparently because that's really his defining trait as a QB.

Curious how the game bonuses work. They can't really count towards this cap because they don't know how many games he'll play. Most likely carried over to next years cap? Loomis finding more loopholes?

Assuming it still works this way, but they look at how many games you played the previous season. Whatever that number is gets charged to your cap. If you play less, you get a credit for next seasons cap. More, next season cap gets charged.

Basically incentives get classified as likely to be earned or not likely. Per game bonuses can split into both categories based on previous games played.

Was that Lowe playing Right Tackle in that clip? It was thoughtful of the animators to highlight one of the Patriot Offense's many issues last year. I'm kind of happy that Trent Brown isn't on the team any more.

I'm not trying to absolve him but it looks like he could, maybe, have been expecting the RB to chip the DE -or- the QB to not take such a deep drop. Both things could still be on him but, uh, maybe it wasnt pure laziness? Oh, it was? Okay yeah thanks for taking my call, I'll go back to listening.

It's incongruous with the detail-oriented tweet itself. Yes, we know what a wide receiver does, the quarterback throws passes to them. We can decide for ourselves how we think it will go.
