^^^ in case yall missed this in the FF. GREAT breakdown. This guy ³³ not just assignwwements, but especially for Oline players he knows exactly what each players responsible for doing AND the. exact techniques called for.

Heard and Campbell are both liabilities. Thats an understatement. Spraggins sucked for the 2nd game in a row. Sampson is an absolute beast, likely best RB1 in the country. Nico is gonna be fine. The line is killing his footwork, his timing, and his confidence to an extent.

It's really annoying when reading history, deciding to refresh your geographical memory, and then finding all the damn places have new names. It's especially bad in Asia and the Pacific. We have our own version lately, too. Like reading about Ft Liberty and wondering WTF is a Ft Liberty. Leave history and the names alone!

Will always be Ft. Bragg to anyone who was stationed there. Next they'll rename Sicily, Normandy and St. Mere Eglise, along with Ardennes because of the violence associated with those names.

My little sister just got armed robbed for her car by 2 thugs with a pistol when she was leaving work. Stole her car and everything in it purse etc.

Charlotte is a festering Dimwit sheithole unless you're rich and live in am affluent community. Then its still a sheithole, but one can live a life insulated from it.

I'm glad she wasn't injured.

He almost beat our team by himself. Dont believe me, watch the video in its entirety. He killed basically every drive except when Nico threw the bad pick (he was a factor there too, just not on that 1 play as much) and the 1 that Campbell killed with 1 of his 2 holding penalties. Reminder: 0 holding calls on flarduh in the game, despite us having the best Dline in the nation. Heard came an inch from personally undoing an incredible defensive performance again like he did at Arkansas. The troubling part is that our staff doesnt think that Johnson or any of the 2nd year guys can do better...I just dont see how thats possible. If so Elarbee is also a liability at least to an extent. I know we missed on all our Tackle prospects really until last year but good grief. Heard graded in the 30s by PFF.

The PTSD will hang on her for a long time.
That needs to be prayed for on it’s own
Very sorry she went through it and glad it wasn’t worse.

So I finally replaced the last old ass club in my bag, my old Slotline Inertial putter. I ordered a Ping Anser 2 fit the same as my current putter, 36” length 3 up lie and Super Stroke Pistol GT 2.0 grip. The wild card is the newer Ping putters have a graphite shaft. I was a skeptic but after half an our testing the Anser 2 against the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 the Ping was far and away a better feeling club. And at almost half the price of the Scotty 🤷‍♂️ the graphite shaft felt very different but in a good way. A much softer feel on feedback it didn’t “click” as much even on long putts. When testing a putter I wasted little time on the 5-8 ft strokes that is hardly ever my first stroke on the green. I tested them side by side on 30 ft strokes and the Ping feel was clearly superior for me. For once the cheaper option was better!

I’m just the opposite, I’ve rolled with my Scotty Cameron Newport for 20 years now, the Scotty’s weren’t cheap back then, but not nearly as expensive as today. 2 of my buddies in our foursome roll with Ansers, the fourth still rolls with his Odessy White Hot two ball. My girl bought me a Bettinardi Inovai 10.0 for my birthday 2 years ago and I really really like it, but I wasn’t making as many putts with it and just couldn’t replace my Scotty with it. I’m a short knocker and have to rely on my putter and getting up and down and the Scotty rolls best for me. Since I can’t hit it very far anymore, putting is is my only chance to score well.

I would definitely try. A win vs Bama and we are likely in the playoffs regardless of what happens at UGA. If we can cobble together enough offense to actually win this week, i think it cures several problems. Builds Nicos confidence back up so he can relax and let his talent show, sustains momentum towards our season goals, gives the Oline 2 big wins in a row and shows that Arkansas was a low point for the season rather than an indicator of future struggles vs SEC opponents. Like last week, this game has huge implications.

I find it strange that we lost to OK and only fell 4 spots from #4 to #8 (shows you how far the program has come) and yet we fell 3 spots the next week for winning against flarduh. How do beat an SEC team and FALL 3 spots and out of the top 10?!? This Bama game amounts to a play-in game for the playoffs...for both teams. Bama will be prepared. Cant wait for kickoff. GO VOLS

Yep completely understand. Remember I’m coming from a really old Slotline Inertial. It’s a really soft face. So all of the new mainstream putters forged from stainless feel much more severe to me. The Anser 2 is stainless with a milled face but the graphite shaft seems to really tame the feedback. And the test told the tale for me. Tighter groups and a few more drained with the Anser over the Newport. Putters I think are the most qualitative property club in the bag. It’s all about feel. The driver is largely driven by your launch data metrics. Reading on putters it always comes back to feel it seems.

Yep, putting is mostly feel and confidence, the better the putter feels to you the more confident you are in your stroke and the more putts you’ll make.

Marcus we beat OK, lost to arky. I got your point though. The polls sometimes don't make sense.

Hey ... whatever works best is A okay. An older gentleman that played a lot with my Dad and I back in the day used an old beat up bullseye blade putter that he copped from a putt- putt course and he could roll it with the best of em’, he was deadly inside of 15 feet.

Watched another video where Bull breaks down game tape, and he pointed out something never mentioned in the excellent video linked here yesterday:

On those 3 consecutive sacks of Nico in the 1st half, Jackson Lampley and Dane Davis were in for all 3. Davis at RT for Campbell, Lampley for 1 of the guards (i think Spraggins but not sure) those were the only 3 sacks we gave up in the game after giving up 5 vs Arkansas. So other than Heard, our starters actually had better games blocking, but Campbell did have 2 holding calls..both of which were questionable IMO. If the refs called holding on flarduh every time they grabbed a little jersey like Campbell did, they probably never score a TD at all.

Bishop had a couple bad pass protections again, including a complete whiff that left a DE completely unblocked running full speed directly at Nico. Fortunately Nico threw the ball away. This is likely why Sampson had 27 carries, the most all year. I love Bishop, he runs North/South without fear and almost never loses yards because he is fearless...just like Sampson when he was younger, bad pass blocking is what keeps him off the field.

Edit: video link below. Bull does a good job. I watch/listen to him about once a week. He keeps up with recruiting too, which is great.

I still have the whole set of Chargers including PGA registered 1, 4, and 5 woods. Persimmon of course with the 4 screws on the face. Getting ready to get me an iron set TM P790s.
