Hey Tags, yes we are building a museum.... A Hall of Fame

Some good news Patrick Queen, L.J. Fort, Malik Harrison and Tyus Bowser, safety DeShon Elliott and cornerback Terrell Bonds were removed from the list after they passed testing

If Lamar lets it fly down field and connects a time or two, the defense wilk have no choice but to back off, stop crowding the middle and he will be able to run rabbit run like his pants are on fire. This is what I think will happen, okay, hope will happen.. Then again, am one gift to be delivered and one to order away from being done Christmas shopping already.....

Ok well then... I'll copy and paste, let the other be a hanging chad...... Who ya got? With Humphries out and seven defenders unable to practice, not too mention the team having an interupted practice week, the offense is likely going to have to carry this team. Maybe even special teams will be affected, so can this offense take a deep breath, and just, relax & play? Can they have 10+ plays, 7+ minute touchdown scoring drives with 1+ quick strike long touchdown passes to take the fight out of the stingy Colt defense? If not, this could be an ugly game. When your backs are up against the wall, qhen a wounded animal is cornered, they say that is when they are most dangerous. And even at 5-2, I would say this team has it's back against the proverbial wall

Hey Mister magic, can you swing your hips and merge our threads? Oh jeepers, that does not sound right, but then, hey, this is 2020, anything goes, right!?

Hold the phone; no one is saying stop him from being Lamar, turn him into a more traditional pocket passer, if they are they are wrong. His mechanics are fine, he is used to throwing off platform, that is normal for him. I am saying, at least me, that he needs a better understanding of defenses, of making proper reads, of seeing the best matchup and YES, TAKR CARE OF THE DAGGONE BALL! Stop the carelessness in the pocket, just tossing the ball up when about to be sacked; take the sack. This is what Brown was eluding too after the game Sunday. Brown had single coverage on the outside with no safety help numerous times, yet no passes. Snead ( and anyone else in the slot) was matched up with a linebacker, a freaking linebacker. Boykin was also singled up on the outside... Make the throws, on time, see the matchups, presnap, properly go through the reads. If it is a zone, you know presnap who amd where to throw the ball.

On the 4th & 3, at the goal line when Lamar gets stuffed on a qb keeper. I don't know if that was the call, but he had Andrews & Brown open on the right side, Brown to the corner, Andrews to the seam. Snead was covered by a linebacker and not likely to get the first down. But either pass to Brown or a tougher pass to Andrews which they have done before, is 6 pts. Again, maybe it was a qb keeper all of the way, if so if he just kept going to the right and put the jets on he gets the first down....

There is no way for us to know for certain, let's start with that statement, shall we?! Afterall, we cannot know the play design, the order of options, nor even what his keys are... Now with that said, to this fan's eye what I see, especially when looking at the all 22... As I said in the other thread, it appears that either he does not know how to properly read a defense, but this I mean, look and see not just if it is man or zone, but what type of zone? Which side of the formation is zone or man, but also, what is his best option knowing the coverage, routes, match ups. Against the Steelere, when they went man, they used a linebacker to cover Snead when he was in the slot. This left him open often. When they went man, the left a single high safety, meaning either side of the field would be one on one on deep routes, a look or pump fake would move the safety away. So is Lamar just looking for Andrews over the middle, or who ever down the seam? Is he seeing the coverage and just ignoring it? He rarely throws timing patterns, when was the last time we saw a deep out or a comeback route? Timing is vital in man coverage, even against match up zone. If he can't read or make those types of throws, it limits the types of routes, which makes it easier for defensesnto defend against the pass. On the endzone throw to Snead to end the game, Lamar either didn't read the coverage right, or ignored it and wanted to force the ball to Snead. He had two better options based on alignment, Brown from the right side on a skinny post, DB was shading his outside. Or Boykin who had single coverage on the left, DB shadimg his outside. The Steelers were forcing all the coverage to the middle, which left plenty of room for either throw, but none to either Snead nor Andrews. The play was there to win the game if Lamar made the right read, then threw a good timing pass to either Boykin or Brown... This may speak volumes to where he is as a qb right now, and why "no one is getting open". But again, we are just fans, don't know his progressions, the plays..

It should be interesting to see what they do about the next draft. If college ball is indeed cancelled for this year, even if they some how stupidly play in the spring, what happens to the draft? Players may rise based on last year's play, while many will fall because they lacked the chance to gain the experience, thus improve their play not having another season to showcase....

A report just came out stating that 21 of the 22 horses killed as a result of injury sustained at the track had pre-existing conditions known to the equestrians though they "did not grasp the significance of major pre-existing lessions". Then they should be fired, really, they didn't think a bone lesssion would lead to a break? Give me a freaking break.... https://www.pasadenastarnews.com/2020/03/10/no-illegal-medications-found-in-states-investigation-into-horse-deaths-at-santa-anita/

2 more horses have died this week, at the Del-Mar track, 4 since Nov 6th. Now were I a conspiracy nut, I would say this was purposely a done to detract from that horrible Santa Rosa track. As I said in my other post, Del -Mar is suppose to be the safest track....hmmm

I heard their vet the other day try to proclaim the track safe because the rate of the horses being put down at the track had gone down.... And the reporter let her get away with that crap. No wonder they will not close that track... Sickening On a side note, 2 horses were put down here at a track this weekend, considered the safest in the nation.

I was just reading about it & about to post.

Thanks crav, I've read a ton about that track and no one has brought this up. It makes perfect sense; the owners should pay through the nose or be forced to sell the track. Why this isn't getting more press is astounding, sad and maddening.

When is enough enough? Crav, this is your wheel house, the "experts" claim to have no clue as to the injuries; but clearly this track needs to be shut down.. 34 horses in less than a year https://ktla.com/2019/10/19/santa-anita-park-in-arcadia-sees-34th-horse-death-since-late-december/
