    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?
  3. Mr. Scot
    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.
  5. Mr. Scot
    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.
  11. Mr. Scot
    Same. Plus I honestly enjoy doing the math.
  12. Mr. Scot
    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.

    Not to be 'that guy', but Bell is a Tennessee Titan.
  18. Mr. Scot
    Thats some solid commentary

    With training camp just around the corner, I'd bet you're quite busy.

    ...in your effort to argue that we should accept another Marty Hurney type as GM instead of looking for another Dave Gettleman. You can exaggerate, elaborate, extrapolate, elucidate, enumerate and exonerate as much as you want. When it's all said and done, that position still won't make any sense.

    I don't know of anyone who was "born and raised a scout". I do know of several people who have proven themselves capable of personnel evaluation by working for years as scouts. I'm not a subscriber to the goofball notion a lot of corporate America has that if a guy is good at one thing, you can put him in a job doing something else and he'll be good at that too. If a guy's going to be hired for a job, I'd like some evidence that he can actually do that job, not something else.
  23. Mr. Scot
    Marty Hurney worked hard and spent years training for the GM job too. And his mentor during that process was one of the best GM's in NFL history. That's how he got the job despite not being a football guy. How'd that work out? If a guy's main job is finding the right personnel to assemble a winning roster, then what you want is a guy with actual experience evaluating players and a record of doing it well. That's why we got Dave Gettleman after Hurney failed. We've seen what a money guy can do and what a football guy can do. Which would you choose?

    I need to stop watching highlight reels. I start off watching what's going on, check the graphics of the other scores that were happening at the time, listen to the announcers talking about the team, get completely into it and start feeling like it's game time... ...and then realize it's not gonna be football season for a while yet.
  25. Mr. Scot
    I've forgotten that guy. I think his name was Holmes or something.
