Regarding strong side/weak side discussion....If the QB has better vision in his left eye, the left side of the line is designated the strong side.  If the QB has better vision in his right eye, the right side is designated the strong side.  Am I correct in my thinking?

Just now, justrelax said:

Well, yes and no. When the Eagles run strong left they don't flip the offense, just the TE. When they go 12 personnel Ertz usually lines up on the left side. Without Goedert in there it's strong left but the OL doesn't flip.This NOT to say that you're wrong in concept because you're not. Our running offense is definitely right-handed, by design. When we go with two TEs they usually both line up on the left side as well, with Goedert motioning back across the formation, either to block the right side or to do a wham on an interior DL or LB.

Yes i know. The weak side strong side was in reference to big e fly mentioning his teacher hitting his hand so he wouldnt be left handed.

I replied that studies show lefties tend to have higher IQs because the world is designed for right handed people so lefties through figuring out how to live in a world not designed fkr them develop certain problem solving skills.

To which he replied makes sense to which i replied maybe thats why left handed qbs seem to be more cerebral because the game was designed dor right handed qbs.

I know what designates the weak sude and strong side, apparently posing the question whether or not it was designed that way with right handed qbs in mind which i think it clearly was was way too much for the blog to handle😒

I'm left handed but never had the experience of getting hit by a teacher and told to use my right hand.  I am able to a number of things OK with my right hand.  

Well, I think you are a bit younger than greend and me.  Kennedy was president and there were still segregated places, washrooms and water fountains in the Deep South where I lived. I am surprised that greend got the same treatment because I always chalked it up to the South. Kennedy was the first Catholic president and that was a big deal. (KKK still burned crosses in Catholic and Jewish families yards).  I think prejudices justified with religious teachings were more on display back then than now.  They have not gone away entirely.  Like greend I have read the Bible and I don’t recall anything about left handedness.   

Imagine a teacher hitting a kid with a ruler nowadays.  There was paddling (swats in later grades) throughout my grade school to high school years.  But many parents used a hand, belt, hairbrush or switch in punishment back then too.

Back then they didnt review plays. In a game at the bull  a bulls player hit a 3pointer way after the game clock expired and the refs counted it. That same game a jazz player hit a 3 pointer before the clock expired and refs didnt count it thats a 6 point swing that i believe the jazz lost by 2 on the road.

Lets not talk about jordans push off cuz we all know he pushed off.

Just a lot of things throughout both series that gave the bulls slight advantages. Sure im partial and what should i expect. Jordan was the face of the league he got away with a lot, ever notice how many times he ever fouled out of a game? The league wasnt going to let tiny market utah beat the face of the league. No body other than jazz fans are going to buy jazz champion merchandise where as the bulls and jordan were a global brand. The NBA is a racket always has been.

Malone isnt my favorite player but hes a Saint compared to Jordan.

Ill always have a sour taste in my mouth over the jazz losing those series. They should have won at least one.

Lot of people dont know that stockton is 6th in all time win shares Malone is 4th Jordan is 5th.

Stockton is also the only NBA player to hold 2 major all time statistical records Assists and steals and made the playoffs every year of his 19 year career and never got secretly suspended forced into retirement by the league over gambling debts.

If you cant tell i loathe Jordan. Really good player D human.

John Stockton really good player really good human!

Didn’t Karl Malone sleep with some 14 year old and get her pregnant then not talk to the child until he was an adult? Idk that seems kind of like a Dbag human being.

There is a more parsimonious explanation - genetics. Left-handers make up roughly 25% of the population. 

More like 10-12% of the world population.

LBJ was president in my first years of grade school at the old Rockton Pa. Elementary School. 4 grades in 1 School and 2 in each classroom. 

Nothing to do with left or right handed QBs, it's based on run game

 

If you have a TE on each side ,its determined by the FB ,next the half back and which side of the QB they are lined up

All things being equal ,the right side is strong side, by default...because RTs are typically better run blockers.

yes the documentary proved jordan was only an a hole to his teammates and no one else😒

I never said he wasn't. But you're under the assumption that he got his dad killed with his gambling debts, when it's been proven that it was a random event. I never said the guy wasn't a dbag to his teammates or others. Or that he wasn't an avid gambler. I don't need athletes to give off the perception that they're perfect. I'll take Jordan being real and admitting he had his personality issues over someone like LeBron who's a superficial sycophant.

I’d call that more than being a jerk as an FYI. That’s being a POS human being. I believe he also said he didn’t want to talk to his kid at first cause he assumed all he wanted was money. Say whatever you want. We aren’t talking about Kobe you made a statement Malone was more of a saint then Jordan and that’s BS. That circumstance proves such. FYI that’s considered statutory rape as he was over 18 and had sex with a minor.

Seems theres at least a few people that dont think its been proven it was a random event 

Huge jazz fan , but never a fan of malone's dirty play though.

They keep playing ike they are now and they will be a tough out , 3 legit players in

Rudy

Donovan 

Conely 

And Clarkson off the bench

Wish bogdanovic was playing, huge loss for jazz.

And maybe one of the top 5 coaches in the game in Snyder.

Didn't the Eagles used to have a tackle that was one of Malone's kids?

Demetress Bell, and he sucked. He was also the one whose mom was 13 and Karl never talked to.

That has nothing to do with weakside bro. They don't always line up on the right or the left as weak or strong, depends on quite a few different factors as to which side is the "strong" side. it could be left or right.

Traditionally the TE would line up on the Right side. Yet in todays game with multiple wr sets the right side is still considered the string side.

Lets say a 4 WR set with 2 WRs to each side. One in each slot to either side and on on the out side to each side with a RB directly behind the qb. Its an evenly designed formation so which is the strong side and which the weak? Traditionally the right side in a balanced formation is considered strong side why? I assume because traditionally qbs were are right handed.

Jazz fans should be thrilled that the sixers were dumb enough to give close to a max tobias or go after horford instead and not go after bog instead. The jazz were interested in harris and if didn’t sign he likely a top destination. I wanted bog for the sixers. His contract is great value for what you get. I feel his loss will eventually come in later rounds. But he’s a good player and excellent contract for what he gives.

Could be a fluke, and i tend to lean towards it not being. Even looking at sports seems the lefties are usually a bit more cerebral then the righties for the same reason, the sport they play whether it is football basketball baseball was designed for right handers.

 

I don’t think that is true.  The only time that I have heard that was left handed people make poor catchers because they have to throw over their body to first base.  I do find it to be an advantage sometimes.  I taught my son what I learned.  Dribble with your right hand.  Right handed kids tend to dribble with their right hand. It leads the opposing player to play you right and leaves the left more open.  By high school AAU league, that went away.  I fenced in college.  I took it as a PE course because, hey why not.  Turned out I was decent at it but mainly because I was used to right handed people.  They were not used to left handed people.  The higher I went, the more that advantage went away.  The best fencers were very disciplined in their forms. 
 

Speaking of form, anyone see Ledecky’s milk challenge?   Her form is so good she knifes through the water.  No wonder she is a gold medalist.   Wow.   It is such a pleasure to watch that level of performance.  I think we may see some of that with route running by DJax and Reagor this year.
