The Random Thought Thread

That specific PI was right. The question is are they making that call against the Chiefs when it matters and many feel its not happening.
One example of them getting it right. More often then not though they get calls that seem to be completely off the wall, and as you mentioned rarely getting flagged themselves.
 
It’s a rare case where I think a benching is the right choice. He needs a mental reset at this point in any hopes of salvaging his career
At one point Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield both were on the Panthers. Both looked awful. Both look like starters right now. Baker in fact looking like a pretty good one right now. I just think the Panthers are that useless as an organization that while Young is probably awful being a Panther makes it hard to know for sure.

It's really possible that Joe Ds tragic passing has really hurt the OL in a weird way to quantify. Warhop said he's gonna teach the scheme the same way as Joe (1 how does he really know the scheme) but he's teaching technique differently. That can't be good for someone like Faalele.

It's not like Warhop can do anything differently. He's himself and not Joe D. But that can't be helpful for a young player playing a new position for the first time.
 
I said in another thread, but think of swinging a golf swing (if anyone here does that).

People who have a fluid, solid motion and have natural strength and leverage will crush the ball and keep it straight and accurate.

When someone goes out there and tries to absolutely kill the ball and swing as hard as they can, the ball will be wildly inaccurate and difficult to control. There's no consistency to it.

I'm not saying that Tucker is 100% losing leg strength, but this might be the start of a physical downswing.

He also made a 70 yarder right down the middle in warmups. I think it’s been some real bad luck too with these misses

I have no kind of data to back this up but I think his process is being sped up and it's more on the blocking than him.

I think the thing to consider with warm ups is he has a holder that he can adjust perfectly, can position anywhere on the field, and doesn't have to worry about his arc or the pass rush to hasten his motion.

I'm not suggesting what I'm saying is right, but his kicks are consistently pulling left. I have to wonder if he's trying too hard to overcompensate.
 
Just saw a FB post that Yanda and Sizzle are on the HOF ballot ^_^
Hell yea, I miss Yanda is his Iowa farm strength on the Oline
