  1. Y'all have lived in a sheltered bubble so long you have no idea what is coming. By 2030 it will be publically humiliating to identify yourself as a leftist. Over the past decade you've ceded all institutional credibility and all moral highground. Yet that will be nothing compared to the state of your soul after death if you do not repent. My advice is to step away from the keyboard, take a deep breath, and ask God for mercy. Then the catastrophe might be avoided. Have a goodnight.
  2. Why didn't he run a toss sweep to Wisner?
  3. I wouldn't trust reporters to parse what "install" means. They're still treating 4-2-5 as the base defense. Patricia is on record in the spring saying that he had to learn the defenses existing terminology. None of the position coaches on the staff are Patricia guys. It's safe to say that Patricia is the one who is adapting and accommodating here. As I said earlier in the thread, I expect Patricia will bring in novelty blitz packages and he will call the game different than Knowles. But the defensive philosophy is not changing in any radical way. Frankly, I think the lack of clear hierarchy in the staff will mean Day will need to micromanage the defensive staff this season and it may take an incident like getting embarrassed by Texas or Penn St (or Michigan again) for Day to realize that's where his attention needs to go.
  4. It's nothing to do with ego or stubbornness. It was February when Knowles changed jobs. There weren't great options to replace him and Ohio State retained the rest of their defensive staff. Patricia was hired to make defensive game plans and call games within the existing structure of the team rather than to be an architect of the defense. In that sense, hiring an NFL coach makes sense as NFL defenses are often determined by the personnel that the front office selected rather than the schematic preferences of the DC. Knowles never ran purely his system at Ohio State. Knowles was a 3-3-5 guy at Okie St but capitulated to using a 4-man front because Ohio State's personnel had all been recruited as such. The $2 million dollar paycheck and having 6'5" freaks at DE helped coax him into a 4-man front as well.
  5. They're still running a 4-2-5 since Patricia is the only change on the defensive staff. Patricia will probably bring certain blitz packages from his background. What will change most will be the defensive playcalling and in-game adjustments. It's easy money to bet that Patricia will be a significant downgrade from Knowles in that respect.
  6. I don't think Day will be conservative with Sayin. Winning the CFP despite losing to Michigan and having 2 losses has purged him of the Urban Meyer mindset that the regular season is about perfection. I don't think he is going to try to finesse a win against Texas. It sounds like Ohio State, with all the extra preparation time, is treating this matchup like a CFP game and Day has always had very aggressive gameplans for CFP matchups. I expect Ohio State will lean on the run game from a statistical perspective. They will only have more pass attempts than rush attempts if they have to play catchup, as you said. But when they do pass they will be aggressive in attacking down field. That's further buttressed by Hartline being the playcaller. All OC's have a prejudice toward run or pass based off their origins. And if the game is on the line, there is no way Hartline isn't leaning on his guys.
  7. I figured. Neither team has good enough backs to justify 21 personnel except on a gadget play. Judkins did blow up Guilbeau blocking for Henderson in a 21 personnel play in the Cotton Bowl though. I expect Ohio State to run a lot more 12 personnel in this game. The reason they didn't run 12 personnel much in the Cotton Bowl was because their tight ends were dogwater. Taking Emeka Egbuka or Carnell Tate off the field and replacing them with Gee Scott was never worth forcing Texas to bring an extra defender in the box. This is the #1 area where Max Klare will change the gameplans between both teams. Ohio State will be able to sit in run formations while still keeping three elite pass catchers on the field with Smith, Tate, and Klare.
  8. Maybe he wasn't upfront about it because of the tsunami of retards who would be indignant about Rodgers being publically non-vaccinated. Every time an athlete came out as non-vaccinated they got shit on for undermining the credibility of vaccination even if the athlete stated it was a personal decision. You can have whatever opinion about what Rodgers should have done, the people who are indignant about the vaccination status of the Packers QB as if it is relevant to their own life are pathetic.
  9. Y'all disappoint me. Shaggy never lacked creativity. Surly has become like a bar at closing time where the only people left are the ones who couldn't get laid. He's been immunized from criticism, so I don't think it will have much effect.
  10. Don't get the self-righteousness about Rodgers not being vaccinated. He wasn't advising others to not be vaccinated. He made a personal decision based on his own health risks. Then he got Covid and guess what? He was perfectly okay. And if you're one of those retards who thinks Covid would be gone if everyone was vaccinated, understand that has been an indisputably anti-scientific position since delta emerged in the mid-summer. Vaccines don't even have an impact on omicron infection rates. Tl:Dr Don't be a pathetic shit head wishing suffering on people who made personal decisions about vaccination.
  11. Marvin Harrison Jr is the next AJ Green.
  12. Yep. He still has the mullet, which is a little weird.
  13. James Franklin: "What the fuck was that?!"
  14. He didn't say it was for sure not a penalty. He said that he hates guys getting ejected for plays like that. The reality is that most people decide targeting calls by whether they would like to see that player removed from the game. Gus' point is that it would be a lot easier to accept the controversial targeting calls if they didn't carry an instant ejection as penalty. All sensible CFB fans are in favor of a flagrant 1 flagrant 2 system for targeting and it's assinine that it hasn't been implemented.
