The Front Porch / Re: The Idaho State University murders

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on December 30, 2022, 07:41:02 PMI believe I read somewhere that the two girls who were unharmed were in the basement. Maybe this guy never thought to go down there or didn't want to.

There was a rumor today that when this guy was arrested he asked the police if they had brought anyone else into custody, implying that he might not have acted alone. I also recall from a news report from maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago that there was some grainy footage of "shadowy figures" (plural) walking outside the house around the time of the killings.

I agree that there is probably still a fair bit we don't know. Now that they have the presumptive killer in custody a lot more should start to come out in the coming week or so.

Unless he lawyers up.  Then it will take longer

There is more to this and we don't know an 1/8 yet.  I think there could be more than 1 person involved.

4 people dead.  Some with defensive wounds.

2 people in house never woke up.  It couldn't have been quiet so alcohol must be involved for people to sleep that soundly.

Killing with a knife is also very "personal"

Just goes to show as I have said!  Evil finds a way to commit evil acts!

Quote from: Trench on December 29, 2022, 06:35:06 PMDon't need to go watch. I have. I totally disagree Eli didn't run and congratulate players. You are wrong on that!

What I saw Eli do is a lot of back n forth on sidelines. Most of the still shots of Jones are him sitting by himself or watching an iPad

Still shots don't tell the whole story.

Quote from: Trench on December 29, 2022, 05:56:49 PMI think Eli was more emotional on the field for sure

I'd say then go watch some old games: 

Eli would throw a TD and raise his hands and walk off the field.

Jones runs and congratulates his player.

Quote from: Trench on December 29, 2022, 05:45:01 PMSome good points I will dwell on. Some I am not there yet. Many forms of leadership. It's an emotional game and sometimes his posture can elevate others - I sincerely believe this is an area he hasn't grasped yet. When he got emotional this town and particularly this forum was electrified. Disagree or not but when Jones shows emotion, the fans and players DO respond positively is all I'm saying

Most of us are NY/NJ north east people!

We get juiced up easily!  We live in a fast paced high energy section of the country.

I fly all over the US for work.  Outside of the North East people think I'm flipping nuts with how loud I talk, how I talk with my hands, and the sense of urgency I train and work with.  It's a north east thing!

So of course we thrive on that.

Lastly......... he is way more emotional on the field then Eli was and Eli was a leader and had the IT.

Quote from: Trench on December 29, 2022, 05:36:43 PMGood points.

I also don't need to see him yell but I wanna see some more. Hold players accountable - go speak to them on sidelines. I don't see enough of that.

Trench

In all fairness when DJ goes to the sidelines what do we see?  Unless we have front row behind the giants bench we only see a snap shot in time of what goes on.

If he wasn't a leader and players didn't have his respect think Rosen! 

It took his teammates and the team no time at all to let leak out he was't it.

You don't hear that about DJ.

He has his warts.  Lack of leadership I don't think it one.
#53
Some ppl believe you need to be loud and outgoing to be a leader!

It's not the case.

If you listen to his fellow players talk he has their respect!  He leads by example.  He takes the blame and doesn't deflect to anyone else.

He talks to his players on the sideline.

These are all leadership qualities.

Just cause we don't see him yelling on the field and jawing at players like Rodgers would doesn't mean he is missing the IT factor  it just means he doesn't look like an as$ like Rodgers does when he does it.

In todays world DJs approach is probably more leadership quality then the overly outward types

Giants' Tyrod Taylor impressed by how Daniel Jones has delivered in 'those got-to-have-it moments'

Quote from: AP44 on December 27, 2022, 07:03:56 PMThat's a solid write up. If he continues to improve his blocking - he may end up a solid starter but for once I'd like to see him break some tackles and get some chunk gains lol.

The TE seam pass is something that we need in this offense. Forget Bavaro who was a master of it but guys like Boss and Ballard just seemed to get a few of these catches when we needed them the most.

A guy that was on pace prior to a significant eye injury to put up some solid numbers as a mid/late round TE pick isn't anything that excites you! Ok!  If not for the eye injury and time off we would be having the convo he could be the steal of the draft.

You all realize you are just repeating yourselves over and over and over again making the same arguments and points right?

It's becoming just noise.

Let it go now till Feb-April and we will see who is right! 

It's getting old!

Quote from: AZGiantFan on December 25, 2022, 09:34:35 AMGiven the expectation that the Jets are supposedly going to move on from Wilson, I wonder if they will be one of the team's that goes after DJ?

I mentioned this in another post!

Quote from: kingm56 on December 24, 2022, 11:03:44 PMCompletely disagree, his 2 ints were the reason they lost. In the first game, hurts didn't turn over the ball and threw two TDs.  The eagles are going to give Hurts a top 10 contract.

I hope they do!  Less money to pay everyone else.

You can disagree.  But even with 2 picks Eagles nearly win!  The drop off isn't much.

Quote from: kingm56 on December 24, 2022, 07:49:13 PMIt was a great catch! However, we also learned that you can't simply plug a quarterback into the Philly O, and expect the same results. Uncle Rico played ok; however, if Hurts plays, Phili wins. 

The drop off in my opinion was minimal!

To my eyes Mustache Man just showed the NFL that Hurtz isn't as great as ppl think, the team around him makes him who he is.
