I agree to an extent. We had YTTV for 3 or 4 years, and loved it when they added the option for multiple streams. My wife's parents divorced many years ago, and both of them are past retirement age without a whole lot of means, so it's nice for them to be able to use our account for TV. However, much to my chagrin as a Dodgers fan, my father in law is a huge Braves fan and YTTV not having Bally is a major issue. I have an MLB subscription (which was integrated into the YTTV app) so I can see Dodgers games, but the Braves games are blacked out since we live in Georgia. So, we switched to DirecTV Stream and it's been fine so far. The user interface isn't as good as YTTV especially when trying to use solely the Roku remote (because I hate DTV from earlier subscriptions so I want to pay them as little as possible, ergo, not paying for their streaming box and remote). The only added benefit for me is that I can finally watch it when the Dodgers and Braves play each other. But the MLB subscription isn't integrated into the DStream app, so I have to use the MLB app to watch my Dodgers).

But when I saw this new feature for YTTV, it did make me miss it. If they ever add Bally we'll switch back in a heartbeat.

Yeah Bally screwed up watching Preds games for me. Had to start streaming those elsewhere which is annoying I have to go outside YTTV, but whatever. Still wasn’t enough to make me switch but definitely annoying. Hope they eventually figure that out.

Kenny Pickett didn't rush for a ton of yards against us, but his ability to extend plays and pick up so yards with his feet killed us. It was a weakness all year.

Pitt with more of a pocket passer/new OC/ and less talent at WR doesn't scare me with a hopefully improved Tennessee defense

Their head coach Narduzzi has been beating up their old OC this offseason and told all the pre-season magazine guys (like Phil Steele) that they will be a run-first team this year.

They want to pound the rock, control the clock/pace, and will only pass to aid in those goals. I don't think they'll look like they did on offense last year, from a talent or scheme perspective.

Hopefully our front 7 is as improved as Banks is leading on. If we can hold their enthusiasm for the rush early in the game, and keep up our 1st Quarter pace (or improve on our 1st Half pace), we will put a lot of pressure on them to pass to keep up.

We just can't let them get their run game going or muddy up the game once we get ahead (Purdue).

I think we can put them away early and stay ahead.

Should have kept reading, you'd see that Dodger fans are decent human beings, even to the extent of inconveniencing themselves so that their inlaws can have the (hated rival) programming they enjoy :)

I think our pass rush will surprise some folks this year.

BY and Baron both at full health with a full off-season. Then you got Roman as well as two young freshmen that will be put in game situation where they just get to pin their ears back and show out.

Banks and Beasley will be better as well and then I have high hopes for McDonald at the STAR. Theo went from an okay safety to a NFL guy when able to focus on that position and McDonald outta HS was an undersized LB basically so you know he's got a more natural nose for the backfield.

Also hoping that Big O, Eason, etc. will help generate an interior pass rush and collapse the pocket.

Florida State may be questionable on many things but if other teams had followed their example and contacted, listened to, and worked with the tribes in their area things would've turned out different for everyone. A little respect goes a long way. The older I get the more I find that to be true.

Yeah, and West and Bailey and Terry and Simmons.... I think the interior guys are getting overlooked a lot. But I expect they'll all get better as the season progresses, I think early in the season the edge rush will be ahead of the rest of the DL. Mostly because the competition won't be as stout and they'll get the opportunity to take advantage of some OLs that aren't really good.
