Also this is as good a place as any to note this, the Broncos hired away Chiefs assistant special teams coach Brock Olivo to be their main ST coach. I mainly remember him as the personification of gritty white running back at Mizzou, he wasn't fast, he wasn't shifty, but he'd lower his head and plow into the line as many times as you'd let him. He's got a damned hill named for him on campus that he'd run sprints on as often as possible. Also those were the first Mizzou teams of my lifetime (at least my football watching lifetime) that weren't total dogshit, with Olivo and Corby Jones. Also Ernest Blackwell who literally went crazy and died a few years later quote:The 29-year-old Blackwell died in an ambulance on the way to a hospital; investigators are awaiting autopsy and toxicology results. Sorry, got sidetracked with old Mizzou things. Anyway, as an NFL coach Toub should rightfully get most of the coaching credit, but KC's special teams were amazing this year and Olivo had something to with that. Wish he'd have gone just about anywhere else though.

Who's that, Olivo or Blackwell? I could see Brock's family being pretty meatheaded, Blackwell was just...a weird very angry dude who lived a pretty poo poo life outside of football.

I somehow completely missed that Alex Smith is a pro bowler. Well, because other people are hurt, but he'll be there. I swear that distinction used to actually mean something but maybe I'm remembering wrong. Did Steve Bono ever make a pro bowl?

No Butt Stuff posted:At what point do the Raiders stop getting linked as the destination for half of the free agents yearly? They've got 44 million and change and don't have a bunch of must sign free agents of their own, so not this year. That is only 9th in the league but still, it's plenty of cash to make a splash if they want to.

Sorry your team was a dumpster fire for so long the city chose the A's instead of them.

I only said that since he was bringing up a team moving while still being a fan of them to you, a person who's team moved but you're still a fan (because you're deluded). Why are we defending each other? I hate Philip Rivers and think he's probably an abusive dad and no one knows yet. And Priest Holmes is criminally underrated and Shawne Merriman was always a dirty no talent player.

If I had to guess it's a little of both with Ford. He did most of his work against some truly awful RTs and most LTs are at least ok. Plus he's still learning how to do all the handfighting. To his credit he's way better than he was at first, but flipping to the other side and having that stuff be backwards probably hurt him too.

I can't decide if Colquitt dejectedly hanging his head and then running to celebrate after not once looking up is my favorite or if it's whoever the Broncos guy is who's still celebrating at the bottom.

I don't think sight lines are a problem at O.Co, or at least not the main problem? Found this site that supposedly shows the view from various places, that's section 235 but I'm sure you can find the other seats you're considering. The problems with O.Co are like...everything else.

I want to tell myself Elway actually sucks as a GM and his main successes have come from lucking into Von Miller, signing a few defensive guys, and convincing Peyton to come to Denver. I'm not quite there yet, but I hope I will be in another year or so.

Worst day ever is like 7 years old now I think but it was so bad you'd think you could never see anything worse, and the Chargers probably have something worse happen every season. Not as far as a single play to lose the game goes really but just stunning incompetence with huge leads. Great comebacks that inevitably fall just short for no good reason. About the only way to lose I don't think the Chargers have gotten around to yet is a kick 6?

I always think Jason Campbell's career is kind of sad and he could have been something with better coaching/luck. poo poo Washington years with washed up Joe Gibbs and whatever Jim Zorn was, he at least had Hue at Oakland (and those were probably his best years) but the roster was a complete mess, then he went to Chicago as a backup and Cleveland. Like, that's a recipe to make Well that's going too far, but it's at least a recipe to ruin what might possibly have been an above average quarterback's career.

Marty was under some sort of gypsy curse in the playoffs. Then the Spanoses and AJ Smith took over from there and it was...well...over. I still think Marty is the only guy who could lose a playoff game on a play where his team comes up with a huge interception.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:I dunno. A Patriots offense featuring Reche Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney and the ghost of Troy Brown beat the Chargers. You think the Chargers defense would have been able to handle prime Manning, Harrison, Wayne and Clark? 24 points when you're kind of gifted 7 isn't exactly the worst thing in the world. Plus that San Diego team was pretty well equipped to win a shootout. And the Pats looked way better offensively against eventual champion Colts, who by the way were the #2 scoring offense that year. To the Chargers. e: poo poo, 492 to 427 after checking. So the Chargers were the best scoring offense by a full 65 points over the #2 team in the league. I guess that's nothing compared to what the Pats did the next year but they weren't hatefucking the Redskins and whoever else for petty reasons with the best offense ever. This was a Marty coached team. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Sep 21, 2017 |
