Docjowles posted:You could argue that this at least has a silver lining. I mean yes ideally you do not do shitlord HR-actionable behavior in the first place. And it must have been real fuckin bad to ruffle feathers in an NFL workplace. But it almost always gets swept under the rug, unless it is forced out by literal congressional hearings like Snyder. Or these bombshells ESPN etc keep dropping about how awful it is to work for the Cardinals. At least someone in Chicago might give a poo poo about their people? At least the Bears seem to be attempting to handle it and get rid of problematic coaches. I wonder if there is any connection to the Chicago Blackhawks colossal mishandling of the Kyle Beach situation.

Nervous posted:Football terminology can be really loving stupid. See also: nickel back (5th defensive back), dime back (6th defensive back, or the 2nd nickel back Also sort of silly is the fact that the fullback lines up in front of the halfback. That seems reversed / counterintuitive. It comes from the single wing formation (quick writeup here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wing_formation). It is closer in style to a rugby formation (as I understand it). The Tight End is on the line of scrimmage and ready to block. The Split End (precursor to the X receiver) is on the other side of the formation. The Wing Back was akin to an early slot receiver, but they had blocking duties as well like a fullback. The quarter back was another slot receiver / blocking from the backfield position. The full back was the secondary ball handler. The Tail Back was used as a primary ball handler. They ran the ball a lot out of this formation. This had some of the early options where either the full back or the tail back would keep the ball depending on the defensive look. Hope this helps some, please let me know if I missed anything. Anderson Koopa fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Nov 14, 2023 |

), quarterback (signal caller on offense whaaaaat?!), halfback, fullback. I still rightly have no idea what the differences are between a running back/tailback/halfback/fullback despite having watched football for over two decades now, aside from the fact that fullbacks are typically much shorter at the end of their career than at the start.

Nervous posted:Thank you. It's one of those things that I've always been mildly curious about, but never enough to really try and dive into it. They're all just variations of "guy you send out to run into brick walls for a few million a year" to me. As I understand it, the theoretical value of a fullback is that they are traveling in the same direction and rough speed as the Running Back, this gives them some versatility to adjust for what blocks need to be made. Of course sometimes the defensive line wins, and then the fullback and the running back run into a brick wall.

A Sneaker Broker posted:Dan Campbell is 6'5, 265 lbs—props to the Lions for hiring such a beast. That got me wondering which coach would win an MMA style tournament (Basically if every team claimed, "My coach could beat your coach up"). I'm thinking something like out of NCAA basketball to help keep the number of matches manageable. I think Dan Campbell would be a strong candidate to win the whole tournament. I'm also bullish about Jerod Mayo's prospects. I think Mike McCarthy, Andy Reid, and Jim Harbaugh wouldn't make it very far.
