That would also put the kybosh on the recent advent of the "rolling maul" which seems to have appeared near the end of every other rushing play where the RB is stood up by one or more tacklers. I don't have a problem with this in theory, because I'm not overly concerned by either the effectiveness of, or safety concerns about the "Shove", but the fact the maul is obviously being coached into players does concern me. RB's have to be tough by their very nature, but I wince every time I see a guy the size of Austin Ekeler in the middle of a pack of 300llbs guys being pushed from both directions while his feet are still on the ground. It's a matter of time before that results in snapped legs, and I'd rather the league banned the pilling into the maul from the offensive side at the very least. Heard him discussing it on a podcast recently, might have been Stramash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Robbie Gould announces his retirement, as well as this one that sent the 49ers to an NFC Championship game, he dis the same for the Bears way back in 2007. A great 18 year career. https://twitter.com/Coach_Yac/status/1732782160090665465?t=rFocfiTIabWXUkJSurOUGA&s=19 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me tell you this story about a bunch of guys who believed in each other, stayed true to their beliefs, and overcame massive odds to ultimately achieve their goals... No, not the 1972 Washington Redskins.... Talking of Staley - He stood in a press conference yesterday and claimed that the fact the Chargers rushed for 200 yards v's Miami is proof the running game works. At this point, I'll remind you that this is currently week 14, and the Chargers played Miami in week 1, and Staley conveniently overlooked the fact that in the intervening three months the Chargers run game has achieved the square root of jack shit...

The Golden God Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 The Vikings wearing not so subtle Pro Israel “cleats” on Sunday. American sport’s hypocrisy on political issues is ridiculous. Kapernick would be a billionaire with a decent lawyer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Rappoport's twitter feed up at 6pm our time, because I was 99% convinced there would be an announcement between 10 & 11am Pacific. His job was completely untenable after last night, and the past few seasons have highlighted exactly why Telesco needed the bullet anaw. 1 or 2 injuries and the team falls apart. It's been the same story since 2013. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Have been recording the ‘Hard Knocks in Season’ with the Miami Dolphins show, and just got around to watching the first episode last night. Tyreek Hill’s mother was the star. She’s funny. That can’t be her real voice surely? Brilliant. The other highlight being that in every situation, McDaniel looks and sounds like he’s on Class A substances and is high as a kite. Looking forward to seeing the rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 The only bright spot from Staley's near 3 year stint is Ryan Ficken has completely turned around the Chargers ST's from one of the perpetually poorest units in the NFL, to one of the more all-around solid ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
