He would be my non-player MVP.

Quote from: Philosophers on May 28, 2024, 06:03:10 PMJess - for a team to be aggressive offensively it takes a coach to trust the offense, a QB with a big play mindset but also trust in the defense to stop the other team if a big play misses causing a punt.

Do we have all that?

It's a work in progress. On paper, I like how it's shaping up.

As Ed said, let's wait and see how it translates on game day.

Hardly negative

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on May 28, 2024, 05:21:55 PMI'm guilty of no longer memorizing phone numbers. But it goes beyond that...autocorrect makes proper spelling irrelevant, and no one can multiply or divide these days without a calculator or being able to write or read cursive. None of my grandchildren can use cursive writing. I tell them all the time, 90 percent of all historical documents written in English is in cursive...how are history students going to be able to research old records???

Autocorrect is my worst enema

I know my wife's and both sons' SSANs, my driver's license number, military ID number, and who knows what other numbers.

Delaware is great for me in the sense that that majority of the license tags are all numbers.

They didn't deserve to steal another game.  Exactly what I said after the last game in regards to how badly they've bring outshot and out attempted.  They cannot continue to get nothing out of their big three.  Mika has been so bad he would be benched if this was the regular season.

I think Daboll will trust the offense he runs as it has worked multiple other places. I think the defense will be the definition of bend don't break. Hopefully Jones, with less mobility focuses dowmfield more often.

J: Theoretically, the pieces are all in place at this time (as you pointed out).

The problem is that precious few of those pieces have enjoyed notable (or any) success in the NFL. The best we can hope for, IMO, is a team that takes the league by surprise, backs into the playoffs, then falls apart when the chips are down.

Next year might be a different story, depending on how much (and how long) this year's success (if any) can be sustained, but IMO we could be seeing the beginning stage of something better than half-decent. As usual injuries
(or lack thereof) are bound to play a huge role in the outcome.

Why create the thread then?

Just curious.
