Mr. Scot

What about when it's a couple hundred of them on a message board?

Sounds like a Syfy original movie.

That might be a common sentiment. Given their respective personalities, I wouldn't be surprised if Harbaugh entertained thoughts of breaking Cowherd in half.

So apparently, Colin Cowherd interviewed Jim Harbaugh today and...well, let's just say things didn't go very well. Video of the awkward interview here.

I'll take "Imagery I could have happily lived without" for a hundred, Alex.

You know, there are few people I feel like I've been more wrong about than Roman Harper. i hated the persona he had with the Saints, but seeing him away from the field really humanizes him. Throw in that I can't recall ever seeing any free agent so completely throw himself into being a Panther like Harper has. Add in the comments from the young guys saying he's taught them a lot about how to play, and ya gotta respect the guy. He may not be a starter this season (or at least not the entire season) but I'm honestly glad he's part of the team.

Definitely. You've still got the three major established offenses, but each team and each OC is gonna have their own unique take on whatever base offense they're running. So while the base concepts are still there, Norv Turner's Coryell and Hue Jackson's Coryell are each going to have their own finer points. And then when you throw in stuff like Chip Kelly's offense, spread concepts, read option attacks, etc. There's a lot out there these days. I look at it kinda like the old martial arts. Used to be the teachers of Karate, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, etc all wanted nothing to do with the other arts, but here in the day of 'mixed martial arts', it's loosened up a lot. The base systems are all still there, but with more freedom to take whatever works.

I don't agree with his conclusion but I respect the logic.

Disagree on the base offense, although I definitely see where you're coming from. The closest I saw to it being a pure E-P under our current coaches was back in 2013 when they dialed back on the vertical and had Cam doing more short passing. It actually worked better than I expected it to, but I think with Cam's skill set and the way the team is being tooled, it's going to be more straight Coryell. I'd actually prefer E-P honestly, but given the players we've got I definitely see the offense to come being more of a pure Coryell. Funchess in particular is someone I see being well suited to that. Mind you, despite his admiration for Norv Turner, I'm not sure Rivera has a preferred offensive system. Back when we were looking at new OCs, the choices were all over the map.

There are plenty of people on here who likely couldn't name the major offensive systems in pro football, much less differentiate between them. Heck, they're probably in the majority. And truth be told, nobody should feel bad about that. You don't need to be a football expert to contribute to the conversation on here. Just being a relatively informed watcher is enough. Some who get lost when the conversation gets really deep aren't too proud to ask questions, and they should be lauded for that. It's the people who don't know the deeper aspects of the game, but try to act like they do in order to puff up their image, who wind up looking stupid. Being that way is how you wind up saying something dumb (like we've seen in this thread).

Out of sheer morbid curiosity, I'll ask: What exactly do you think we're running?

Our offense is a Coryell system. I sincerely doubt that you have a clue what that means.

I don't think Rivera is all that fluent in "coach speak". I've always gotten the impression he just says what he thinks.

And damn you for pointing that out...

It's not so much the NFL as it is the teams themselves. If it works for one team, it'll get copycatted all over.

But not so great on the building design... And the sink? Well...

The best escalator, merry-go-round and intersection ever.

I do that too. And despite being right handed, I'll put them all on my left hand. That way my right hand is free to unlock/open the door.

Same. Plus I honestly enjoy doing the math.

And I guess the fact that I'd rather pay someone an actual compliment than 'pie' them is one of mine too :)

And one that's Huddle specific: Every time I leave a forum, I mark it as read. Likewise, I use the 'mark site as read' button pretty often when I sign out.

Others... - I alphabetize my clothes by color and separate them by casual, business, etc. - I'm extremely OCD about my writing, one example being I absolutely hate when a paragraph ends with one word on a line by itself. - The sound of running water soothes me, so I'll sit in my home bathroom with the shower running (or at work with the sink running). - I have multiple clocks, and they all need to be synchronized to the second (off my atomic clock). The clothing thing is facilitated by an odd shopping habit. If I see a style of something I like at the store, I'll buy it in multiple colors. This is most frequently done with shirts.

All of these belong to me too. I have a built in solution to the heel on the loaf of bread, though. It goes to the parrot.

Hoping I have the chance to attend this year.
