I remember that you wouldn't evacuate while we were all begging you to! Then again could have imagined you in your truck w/ 5 dogs at the time - who drives?

Right,I cant take 5 dogs to a shelter and if you saw the overcrowding,sleep conditions,kids running amok everywhere, and the fact there is nothing to do at all except wait until they "officially" tell you you can go back home,it's not my cup of tea. Even with the devastation this last time, not many lives lost(although 1 is too many). The issue now is INS companies went belly up and there is no ins money coming and forget about FEMA helping, a real joke. The people trying to rebuild can't get any loot coming in to do it. I had no damage, so not in their shoes,but now many companies won't insure FL homes or the cost is so high people will move inland. I suspect you have some of those issues up your way. I lost power for 11 days and FEMA would not give me one penny. Lost $700.00 in groceries alone,which,you know they should allow that little bit,because my genny was used for lights and my well pump and there are only so many gallons of gas you can haul. So,it was a little sad to see that as a taxpayer I couldn't get $700.00 out of them, never having filed anything before that and ins wouldn't pay me that back either,so it's quite a racket they have going

They had a meeting about this in the off season,but voted against banning it. That would be another reffing mess as to "how to flag a tush push" penalty LOL

They can't call PI's correctly(either way) or they make other lousy calls and adding this one would be another mess on top of a mess that is the Gooddell tenure LOL

Qb sneak been a successful part of many top teams… I recall Brady do it plenty over the course of his career to gain that yard… Brees and the saints used to be masterful at it as well.

It hard to stop yes but don’t let teams get in situations to use it then.

The issue is when players get behind them and push them not the sneak itself

We're just over a mile in so don't have to get flood ins which is expensive, it's also the law here you must have insurance to get a mortgage. I did put in extra truss supports and such to bring ins down In my case homeowners doesn't cover what's happened w/ neighbor so have to settle in court. Pay for flood ins or pay the atty. At least if we win the case - the precedent's already set in other cases - we'll get some money back.

Believe other bird fans near Marco Isl but out of the way of the storm offered you a place, you're just too awnry, proud or stubborn to take him up on it, lol!

Not a huge difference in my eyes as the previous teams I mentioned showed if your good at the QB sneak it nearly impossible to stop regardless push or no push 

Swift on a 1 yr contract, see how he finishes the season. Know it's a position where teams ashamedly skimp and a lot of their success is due to the OL. Like the way he sees things and adjusts.

TB12 couldn't squat over 600 lbs neither

Quite possible LOL,but have been through 4 Big cats and a few little ones, with just a little inconvenience(well 11 days was a BIG one but that's due to the wuss electric company who refused to send their truck down a dirt road). Also my house was built with 4 x 4's (throughout), probably safer than the new junk shelters anyhow.The new house in NC is cheaply built with crap,it would be "gone in 60 seconds" in FL LOL And the tree line I planted when I moved in worked to perfection (YAY me lol) 121 over my house 88 on the second floor and I also had a separate laundry area(attached in back),so I could have gone in there if it got too bad(no windows on the windward side). I can see myself chasing 5 dogs who were chasing kids in the shelter(NOT)

RB's have strong legs,they can "sneak" a QB for 2 yards LOL,not the 1.5 feet of the Brady years.Of course you need a good Oline regardless

It's a crude reality but a lot of decent RB's come out of college every yr, making NFL RB's expendable. Even more so with a RB by committee approach. Love looking back at the great RB's, but it's a risk having a bell cow if they go down. Actually it's not if it's when. 

As predicted, the dumb **** surfers are out. They're all indestructible until a rip tide gets them. Got caught in one once as a kid. Never heard of them back then, got ****ed out for swimming out so far. Tried to explain but dad wouldn't listen. I was on the swim team so a pretty good swimmer. That sucker got me in water just over my waste and there was absolutely nothing I could do. Next thing I knew I was 1/4 mile out

Honestly outside of the RBs not being used to taking snaps from C surprised this isn’t something that used… just having the RB under C everyone knows when the sneak is coming anyway have to think using a RB would be better then risking the QB underneath the pile

Or just say F it and put Mailata under C back T in and blow forward on a Sneak nobody stopping that man from getting a yard

Yeah,supposedly thats what we got Penny for,but teams are mad because are good at the push. So they don't really know if we are handing off to the RB or allowing him to push behind Hurts and I really have no clue as to how they could call this as a penalty or ban it

I’m not thinking RB coach is the guy that has been forcing Gainwell overreaching. Seems very clearly Siri’s doing. Gainwell clearly was his guy and pick. Gainwell never had to earn his job. Siri wasn’t a Sanders fan from the jump. Sanders had really nice receiving numbers his rookie season not under Siri. Then Siri just showing biased and hating on Sanders. Now Sanders does seem a bit boneheaded with situational awareness situations. A fair knock on him. How can Sanders catch over 500 yards receiving as a rookie ….then not be capable in that role after? Sanders rookie receiving numbers are no joke for a RB. Especially such a low experienced rookie of college snaps in general…but barely utilized their RB as a pass catcher. So basically his first opportunity in the role as a pass catching option…he brings home over 500. Really very impressive. Would think it just obvious he has massive room to still learn, grow and improve even still…a second, third. …year of actually doing that part of the job. He got injured. But Siri just completely stripped him of the duties. Pulled him out so he could force Average Joe Gainwell. Even tried to feed Gainwell as much glory work in the Redzone as possible. Gainwell didn’t earn these roles. Given it day one as a rook. But then Sanders gets injured. Becomes so obvious Gainwell isn’t starter material. Not just at that time….but his potential ceiling isn’t even that lofty. So Siri was forced to turn to Scott. Scott is a better option and has been forced to earn everything…every year and every play pretty much it’s felt like. But push came to shove so Siri had to make the right call. Turn to Scott. But then Sanders takes over last season. Clearly showing he’s the playmaker and has burst. Fairly large gap between him and the Bench Committee at RB behind him. But still Siri showed forcing Gainwell for receiving. Stubbornly ignoring Sanders already proven rookie year receiving production. Siri still tried to force Gainwell in to the glory positions as often as he could. Leapfrogged over Scott last season by doing? Yeah nothing really happened other than Scott is that underdog underrated RB….while Gainwell was chosen by the HC. Comes down to the SB and Sanders just didn’t look healthy enough to be the right choice that day. Ok..,not problem trying to see if the playmaker RB can overcome for such a huge game. But took too long to notice he didn’t have it. Then so consistent ….Siri goes with his guy over Scott(the underdog that just has earned everything he’s done in the NFL). Gainwell is exposed for what he is. Just not good enough for more than a rotational role backing up. Played out to where that whole scenario is devastating to the SB parade cause. No RB contribution in the SB for us. KC D wasn’t the run stopping fortress wall. Cost us the title. Now just keeps coming. Whole offseason plan this time seemingly based on overvaluing Gainwell. This ego theorists trying to prove how the running game is all Oline and the RB doesn’t have much effect. But at least brought in Penny. Then almost like a miracle didn’t completely abandon the position lost in poor philosophical theory playing out…trade for Swift. Lions practically gifted him to Siri. The reason it actually happened. Thank goodness. Anybody that has watched Swift and Gainwell both don’t need to think or consider which guy is the better option. Swift is agile and can make some things happen. All while having better hands and arguably vision. Yet somehow Gainwell doesn’t earn becoming the starter….yet Siri gives it to him once again. Gainwell did decent on the first scripted drive of the game. But Swift not given a chance. It took Gainwell injured and couldn’t physically suit up for Siri to be forced going with Swift instead. Two players just aren’t close in talent. Probably saved week 2 that Gainwell couldn’t play. Without the much better RB dominating that game becomes really tough to envision victorious conclusion. How long would it have taken for Siri to switch from Gainwell to Swift week 2 if healthy? No idea..but not hard to believe too long. Enough is enough! Best Oline wasn’t enough in the SB for Gainwell to be effective. Before that Sanders injury showed Gainwell couldn’t be forced into a starting role….Siri was made to give it to Scott instead. I’m not a Gainwell hater. He is a versatile Rb familiar with all the plays. Good to have at THIRD STRING! Stop forcing the limited talent player always favoring and forcing him…just trying to make him look good and be the guy. Get over he was your handpicked RB Siri. Cost us the SB last year very likely((never can be proven). But pulling Sanders and now Swift for Gainwell is nothing but favoritism that Gainwell never actually earned. Huge gap between Sanders/Swift and a Gainwell. Who can’t see this clearly? Let the ego go man! Gainwell is very likely our fourth best RB. Shoved into being a starter. The problem isn’t so much Gainwell…it’s Siri with Gainwell. Gotta have blinders on to not see the huge difference watching Swift versus Gainwell. This is the easy decision making stuff. Couple of plays for both…easy call ..Swift! That’s first day of TC. If film study wasn’t already apparent enough. Siri’s tunnel vision granting Gainwell everything the whole time has already cost too much. All lessons have been clearly played out fir all to see. Always was a bad call forcing Gainwell so much like Siri has. But it’s just escalated the whole time somehow. I don’t like dogging an Eagle player like it looks I’m doing. It’s not Gainwell’s fault. He’s decent all around RB. Workable. In the rotational limited backup role I’m totally fine with him. As the guy to win the SB? As the starting RB this season? Emphatic NO! The problem in this situation is Siri…not Gainwell. Want that to be clear.

LOL I got bashed endlessly for suggesting that one play. I think he would get a big smile on his face after he pancaked a few.
