Big Blue Huddle / Re: Quirk of the 2024 schedule

That's really peculiar.

I would prefer that every single NFL game played every week always be on Sunday. I am sure plenty disagree with me on that including the league and its ratings experts, but it would make things better for the players and coaches, and in many respects for the fans too. I appreciate that it means fans are going to watch fewer games in real time, but serious fans can still watch their team play plus two other games on Sunday if they choose to. I also like having the anticipation build up all week and then getting flooded with information/stimuli on Sundays.

With all of the above said I understand why the league does what it does with spreading these games out more. I'm not going to condemn them for it, but I wish it were just Sundays personally.

Unless we are traveling somewhere and we do lots of walking/hiking I really don't believe I do that total in a week. I'm not proud of it but that's the way it is. I have two bad knees and whenever I tend to overdo things, they hurt for a while, so if I can get somewhere riding, that's the way I go. My wife always encourages me to get out and walk. Maybe if I lived in a different environment I would but I hate to ride to a place to walk and I really don't like walking on my town's streets all the time.

I hope you achieve your goal.

Lenn,

I am sorry about your knees. That's a drag. And it's understandable why you do not walk more.

7 on 7

OFFENSE

Allows QB to practice going through progressions and throwing to receivers.  It also allows practicing of plays.

WRs practice running routes and practicing different plays.  Plus, catching the ball from the QB


DEFENSE

DBs and LBs practice various coverages as well as practice covering WRs

Florida is pretty stacked. They go four lines deep with talent, and Bobby is a great goalie... probably HOF material. I won't be surprised if this one goes to a game seven.

On the positive side, I think there might be more open ice in this series for Bread and Zibs.

Big Blue Huddle / Why do teams practice 7 on 7
Last post by ralphpal1 - May 18, 2024, 10:26:30 PM
What is the use of practicing 7 on 7
The team isnt playing against that
Why not 11 on 11

Florida will try to do the same thing to Panarin/Fox that they did to Marchand. Bennet got away with it. Maurice is a very good coach who desperately wants his name on the chalice. The Rangers raised the level of their game in the 3rd, they will need to keep their game on the incline. I noticed during the Cane series Fox was not coming down the boards like usual until that third period. Maybe he's getting closer to healed. There will be a ton of hitting this series. I hope the refs are legitimate in their calls, and no cheapies. Here's where Goodrow's Cup experience comes in handy. Florida is a really really good team. It will be interesting to see how many Ranger fans travel to Sunrise for the game and to see their grandparents.
