Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 1/16/2012

I LOVE TO TAKE A BATH IN A CASKET. The offseason drove us to the Golden Globes last night, but not without some serious dividends, like remembering that Morgan Freeman once played a bathing vampire on The Electric Company.

We're so sorry to ruin the "Morgan Freeman as God" facade for you, but he will always be Easy Reader to us. Well, that, and also the meanest pimp in the universe in Street Smart. Everyone involved with children's television in the 1970s was doing powerful drugs. Onward with football.

BRING DONUTS, KEEP COACHES. Derek Dooley likely doesn't do the things one needs to do to keep employees. The coffee at the Vols' offices probably sucks, the parking is likely a long walk away, all kinds of sites are restricted by Tennessee's prudish internet policies (YOUR PASTOR IS WATCHING YOU LOOK AT BRAZZERS) and Dooley never, ever brings donuts like Phil used to do. This can be the only explanation besides "people hate losing" for the loss of Lance Thompson to Alabama, and now Tennessee has lost a total of six coaches to other schools.

HE HAS NOT FORMALLY SAID FUCK CLEMSON YET. Oklahoma coordinator Brett Venables has visited Clemson, but has not decided on whether he is going to take the job or not. The recently vacated defensive coordinator's chair--still smoking from Kevin Steele's post-Orange Bowl conflagration--would likely be in the insanely overpaid range salary-wise, and would also not involve co-coaching with Mike Stoops, recently returned to Norman by brother Bob.

LOL SURE DARRON. This year's Jevan Snead? Oregon's Darron Thomas, who despite the entreaties of his coaches has decided to go pro because...um...he's like Cam Newton?

Thomas told ESPN on Saturday that he can "offer leadership, (a) winning attitude, hard work and I can make big plays. I saw what Cam Newton did this year. He took his raw talent and made a spark. I can do those things, too."

Hope is always the best policy in any situation, but no one said it was an accurate one. Thomas' likely replacements include Bryan Bennett, who looked great against Colorado like everyone does, and the Hawaiian qb Marcus Mariota, who one source in that Register-Guard article describes as "electrifying." We hope he means this literally, because the NCAA has no rules concerning the naturally conductive football player.

A RUNNING LIST SO YOU CAN LOOK AT YOUR DEPTH CHART AND WEEP. It's right here, and you should make use of it so you don't have that horrible moment in April when, discussing a position of need, you realize that the person you just said would be fine at middle linebacker is in fact struggling in a CFL camp.

MIKE SHERMAN'S KIND OF VERBOSE BUT ALSO IMMENSELY CLASSY. If the departing press conference didn't convince you that Mike Sherman's heart smells of rich mahogany, well, the letter he sent high school coaches after his firing should.

A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT. Getting better, bit by bit, seems to be the way to improve college football's coaching diversity issue.

REGARDING SATURDAY'S GAMES. And lo did he walk into another bear trap placed by the wicked Belichick and/or a member of his coaching tree, and lo did our savior suffer.

the refs reviewed this play for over a minute, and still left it as a flagrant 1 foul.

But my kids were still little then, and Mrs. DG has always insisted on making a big deal out of it for their sake if not mine.

BTW, my grandfather died on the Old Bobcat’s birthday. My family is under strict instructions to make try to manage my terminal care so I don’t go on either of my boys’ birthdays.

That is the wrong choice

They need to commit to it.

Get run blocking OLs. Get backup QBs that can run a shotgun spread option. And get a defense that can hold NE under 40.

Tebow may be the first step in the cure for NFLAids. But only if Denver commits to it.

it clearly worked since they were the #1 team rushing

the issue they had was that once a team learned to at least throttle the rush, they dindt have a consistent passing game to fall back on. if tebow (or whoever) can come in and provide the passing game needed to open the rush back up, then it can clearly work.

this i agree with.

the only issue is there arent many good backups that can run this option. the best choice for them in the draft (realistically) may be to try and get russell wilson, since RGIII will not be available. the OL can run block well, they are just fairly young, and losing the top two centers hurt terribly. i wouldnt be upset if they committed to the option necessarily, but theres a lot of work that needs to be done to make it work, and im not sure it all can be done in one offseason

Scrap the option?

I wouldn’t do that. If things go well out there, I think you’ll see the Broncos slowly evolve away from it. Unlike most ESPN heads, I think Tebow can learn to be a much better passer. (If I were he, I’d be sure to spend some time with Alex Smith in the off-season to learn how a guy with some similar skills and reputation improved.)

The option is working, and I wouldn’t completely abandon it. But Tebow needs to improve his passing at least a little bit faster than the rest of the league re-learns how to defend it.

In the meantime, it interests me that we may be on the cusp of having an entire crop of QBs (Smith, Tebow, Newton, RG III) that coaches will actually use with regularity on designed runs. It would make the NFL more fun to watch.

im not against it either.

i just have a feeling the FO is split on what to do, and if that split isnt going anywhere, then its a huge mess. i have the same feeling on Tebow, its not necessarly that he needs to improve heavily on his passing (he does, theres no questions) but more on his confidence. he can obviously get it done, as we saw in the steelers game, but when he starts to doubt himself, thats when he runs backwards for 29 yards or gets sacked.

this is my thought on that choice.

either commit fully to the option, or tell tebow you are going to go back to the norm, and give him the chance to learn it during the offseason. thats what everyone seems to forget in all this, is he had just a few months to try and learn everything he needed to be a starter, and then 2 games in to being said starter, they switched offenses completely. before i finalize my judgement on him, id like to see him get a full offseason of work with the same offense to see what he can do.

He was the MVP Super Bowls 13 and 14, and ESPN ranked his appearances as 12th, 18th, 29th and 39th out of the 80 QBs who have appeared in the game, winning and losing.

So I strongly disagree with any analysis of him being the 2nd worst QB to win the game.

The stats don't really tell the story here

The Pittsburgh dynasty was the last of the Fifties and Sixties-style NFL teams at a time when the league started becoming a passing league (led mostly by the AFL refugees).
Bradshaw’s numbers suck by modern standards, but I’d argue that he was playing a fundamentally different position than Montana, Elway, et al. His job was more like what Bart Starr was asked to do in Green Bay or Y.A. Tittle did for the Giants. And he was really fucking good at it.

(BTW, 46 of Bradshaw’s 210 career picks came in his first two years, against only 17 TDs. Pittsburgh was truly atrocious when he first got there, and the offense had way too much chuck it and pray.)

I wouldn't say the 2nd worst.

Namath, McMahon, Hostetler, Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, Doug Williams, Jim Plunkett would all trail Bradshaw. Just saying comparatively to other SB-winning QBs, he’s at the low-end of the ladder, even though he has four.

Other than a college town on gameday, the highest concentration of team wear I have ever seen not at the actual stadium/arena?

Aye.

Celtic are the historic “Catholic team” in Glasgow and mortal enemies of Glasgow Rangers, which from their founding through some time in the late 1980s, had never fielded a Catholic player.

When I lived over there, some guys were arrested outside Ibrox (‘Gers’ home pitch) before an Old Firm derby for passing over possession of a trunkload of guns bound for Protestant paramilitaries in Northern Ireland.

These people make Alabama-Auburn look tame.

Frankly, if the NFL is conspiring to keep the Giants' boring Coughlinized asses out of the Super Bowl...

There actually is a 'Why the hell didn't we hire Coughlin instead of Ty?' movement there

No

it involves the fact that since the year of the ‘hire Ty v. hire Coughlin’ choice, Mr. Coughlin has won a Super Bowl and has the chance to win another. Tyrone Willingham has not won a bowl of any sort in that period, and in fact went 0-12 one season.

The GC showed me the BAS computer that the EC had ‘programmed all last week since he knew you were coming’.
Every single point showed up as ‘?’?

I LOL’d. He was mortified. The EC had packed and high tailed it out of state. I called the GCs Boss, told them I’d be making a return trip 100% expense paid on his dime per our contract and needed written verification the system was working from him before I returned.

If only there were some college team

that had a gaping, festering wound at the defensive coordinator position where Brent Venables once worked — even PLAYED — where he might well be immediately considered the front-runner for the head coaching job once the current head coach retires.

If only.
