Yeah. The dark endzones didn't help with and the stripes of the turf were odd too

I have been studying and creating videos the last year or so, and as I looked at the dark look and the stadium conditions, I was like man... this is a cameraman's nightmare; the shadows, the bright light, the slightly lesser bright light, all mixed together. A perfect storm where you are forced to turn down the exposure, in particular, which darkens the scene. You have no choice, even with high tech equipment.

Oh if Mostert's out, he's not the only factor but they "should" win. 

 

People are underestimating Shanahan’s ability to plug and play any RB on his roster and not see a significant drop off in his rushing game. It’s his old man’s style in Denver all over again. Verrett being out is much more significant than Mostert being out, who would most likely be a JAG on any other roster.

I want to beat division rivals full strength because I hate the excuses. 

I'm fine with lucky break vs a tough NFC opponent. Sucks for Vererett though, dude can't catch a break. Hate seeing good players' careers destroyed by injuries. 

NOTE to self:
 

Miles Sanders caught the damn ball all day yesterday. Good job, because he usually has these kinds of hands:

Yeah I didn’t understand why there wasn’t any max protection called to give Ryan time to take a shot to Ridley or that TE who’s already being put into the HOF. 

I don't think max protect would have bought them that much time.

Mitchell, the back up, had over 100 yards on 19 carries.  He looked very fast.  

Another point...

I had insisted all summer that despite their heroics in 2019, the Eagles needed to do better than Boston Scott and Greg Ward.

Glad to see that they listened.

I’m not sure those stats mean much at all. The Niners were probably in soft coverage late in all likelihood.

Yup some rookie named Eli Mitchell, I've never heard of him, put up 100 yds at 5 yards a clip and a TD.

The varett loss is big the mostert loss won't effect the gameplan much.

I don't know that I've seen max protect against a 4 man rush.  I mean, I guess you could do it, but the issues were everywhere.  The LG was a sieve. 

Urban Meyer leaving for that job would be hilarious.

That is where Scott and Ward belong... desperation players.  You don't go into the season expecting them to carry any significant weight.  If you do... then you get what you deserve.   Nice guys, nice stories.  Just not that talented.

Would fit nicely with the college coach history in the NFL.  Saban, Petrino... others.   They just aren't cut out for the length of the NFL season, working with grown men, and having to actually be good at schemes versus just being a better recruiter.

 

Look at Nate Soldier, #76.

I mean max protect still probably leaves the likelihood of one on one matchups inside especially since at least one other defender is likely to rush the passer if his man is staying in to pass protect.

It makes sense for both him and USC.

Anyone in central PA know what FM station is carrying the games?  Was 96.1 in the past.  I checked online and it said 97.3 for this year but it was music.

Exactly... but I guess you could bring a TE in motion and stop in the B gap to help double a DT with the OG.  Or pinch the OT inside and let two TEs take on the DE.   Just doesn't seem like a good strategy.. 2 man route against 7 defenders?

BMI is a stupid measure as it doesn't take Into account body fat %.

According to BMI Barry Sanders was obese as he was 5'8" and 200 lbs for a 31 BMI.

I took my eight year old son in for his yearly check up and one of the measure they still use is BMI, it's just such an outdated measure that is a horrible way to guage someone's health 

Pay attention to heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol levels.

If one has a 35 BMI score but has low BP low standing heart rate and low bad cholesterol than who cares if one is heavy?

 

 

BMI is joke if you lift weights or are athletic.  It's only for sedentary normies, which I admit is most people.

Get a smart scale and measure your body fat %.  As a male if you're ~ 15% BF or below you're in good shape, regardless of what your BMI is.

Especially when they're in a 2 deep safety look.

I love that stunt from Graham that basically had Cox taking the C, RG and RT out of the play.  Amazing how he demands double teams and still wins the battle.
