    Looks like a quote from 2012, but thanks and I am sure folks will use that to not consider him a viable candidate. I know what I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears...and he is much more with it than Biden or Trump. It's funny how both Rs and Ds are trying really hard to discredit Kennedy as his polling goes up. 

     

    He did share the most comprehensive head to head polling to date, and he kicks both their butts. 

    I don’t need to listen Rs or Ds. My opinion comes from even way before Covid and this campaign.  Heck, I didn’t even know a worn starved in his brain. 
     

    The guy has been wacko for a very long time. 
     

    Pardon me if I’d rather have an 80+ year old with mental decline and I disagree with some of his policies …..but at least he understands how the world works.

    Very much so. The spacing was way better on the offense, and we can do it in some interesting personal packages.

     

    I'll go back to my favorite example from the game, Raiola's first TD to Bonner. 3x1 set, the single side is an inline TE. It was a receiver much of the day, but in this example it's a TE who along with the RB stay in for a 7 man protection. Bonner is in the 'big slot' about 2 gaps off the Tackle, and of course, two WR out side of him.

     

    That big slot could be a TE/HBack/WR....whatever we're calling things in this offense....but we have several athletic big bodied 220 lb-ish guys that could play there. On that play, the defense has to defend the full width of the field because as we saw Raiola can make that long throw from the far hash, and yet it's effectively out of 12 personnel where you can still run the ball with mismatches in the blocking game. 

     

    Haarberg a few drives later hits Barney on the go route using the same formation, except he's the single WR on the short side. He gets 1 on 1 because the defense rotated to Cover 1 to cover the 3 man side. Here's how that formation's ability to run the ball helps the passing game. On that play, the RB is aligned to the single receiver side in Shotgun, meaning the running strength is to that 3 man side, a big reason why the defense rotates that way. Barney is going to be a helluva WR, and this formation gives him the opportunity to use those remarkable talents of his.

     

    The width was better, but the playcalling using that width was also so much better. Again, 3x1 set with the single on the short side, defense rotates wide to account for the strength and they throw a RB screen to that near side. Next play, same setup, seam route on the wide side where if that defender drops to cover it, there's a drag coming from across the field.

     

    4 plays I listed, all some form of 3x1 to the wide side and all three stress the defense in different ways. All of those screens to slots, tight ends, hbacks, running backs, all of that stuff helps establish width and then with that width we hit Corner routes, Seam routes and Go routes.

    And, if the running strength is to the 3 WR side and the RB is lined up on the 1 WR side and you run a few running plays to the 3 WR side, there should be an opportunity for a quick pitch to the RB going to the 1 WR side, correct?

    70% of Republican voters credit Trump for infrastructure. This is hilarious. 

     

    At what point do we acknowledge that partisanship on the Right have caused have the country to live in an alternate reality? Reaching these people is completely hopeless. 

    Well...you do have all the Republican congressmen going home and cheering about the big infrastructure projects they brought money home for.

     

     

     

     

    That they voted against.

  4. So...what exactly is she saying will never happen again?  Our attempt to have a peaceful transfer of power in a legitimate election?  If she is VP under Trump, this situation WILL happen again where she will be required to do what Pence did.

     

    She is such a piece of s#!t.

    I agree.
    A quick story. My first year at UNL I took Anthropology 101. It was a cake class that basically all you had to do to pass was show up, evidenced by the fact that a lot of football players and athletes were also in it.  The professor was some wild liberal hippie with a ponytail down to his butt. He’d spend most classes whining how his colleagues were being persecuted in all these 3rd world backwater places. Well, I earned a solid B (3.0) in that class according to the predetermined scoring. End of semester d!ckhead gives me a 2.0. I go in to meet with him and see what’s up. He reviews all my grades and says yeah, you should have a 3.0……uh hold on, are you in a fraternity? I say yes. He says, oh that’s why, but since you came to see me I’ll change it back. True story.

    Frat rats want all the special treatment.
