Summerpalooza VI: Return of the Rock Bands - And they say "He's in the Class A Team" (1 Viewer)

[rockaction]

Miller’s last rushing attempt was a tidy five-yarder — but was brought back for holding.

Miller has also looked very good in pass protection — including a nice play where he saved Winston from getting blindsided, and still leaked out to serve as the safety valve when no one else got open. That play will go down in the box as a non-descript 3-yard reception, but there was a lot more going on than that.

Thanks, Doug. We're actually getting the game, though. I think it's on NFL Network and I live in SoCal so it's on the CBS channel that has the rights to it. But yeah, you're right about pass pro. He hasn't looked too bad doing it. I missed the blindside block/release to catch so I'm glad you pointed it out.

RB Kendre Miller

Basin Street Blues by Louis Armstrong

Hope he's playing today. I'll be tuning in for that.

In game preseason stats are a bit lacking, but Miller’s got about 55-60 yards from scrimmage and a TD midway through the 2nd. Second-team O-line FWIW.

He's looked good to me. Not gimpy which is maybe the most important thing at this point.

14.05 - Dallas - DST

Sonny Rollins - "I'm an Old Cowhand"

They're a defense _and_ a special team, plural in fact.

A Jazz musician can take the chords and the head and make a Jazz song out of just about anything. "I'm an Old Cowhand" is an unlikely tune but Sonny Rollins and his rhythm section make it work.

I already picked a recording by Sonny so I'm going to replace his version of "On Green Dolphin Street" on my personal playlist with Chick Corea's because I'm anal like that.

A really interesting song, I'm not going to go into it here, but here's a strange fact. Her grave is in the next row next to my mother-in-laws at St. Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx, so we always drop off flowers at her grave when we visit mom.

none of the best ball tourneys use them, nor do they use any kinda teem defense/IDP/etc

both of my $$$$ leegs also finally came around and decided to eliminate kickers - they gone!

don't care how much folk wanna be like REAL football, 'cuz this ain't it - it are a gambling endeavor, not a replica sim.

one man's trash are another man's wallet.

 

[plinko]

I like kickers. Little team mascot down there. Another factor. You can find value on the wire, in a certain guy in a matchup, or maybe you don't get lucky, that's what the whole game's about anyway.

On that note I'll take the Patriots Defense please

well, that song was previously picked...

Last 2 picks were on my short list here. Neat!

14.13 - DESMOND RIDDER - QB - ATL

I guess having a backup QB will be prudent here and I figure if the ATL offense is as potent as people think it can be, Ridder has to have halfway decent numbers.

Song later.

I have problems with rankings and I don't like kickers so reading up on kicker rankings is a double whammy for me.

Pick the team you think has the best offense. Don't look at kicker rankings. They're never, ever correct. Only insofar as they pick the best offense. Bob Henry used to be the K expert at FBG. He's no longer here and now Adam Harstad sort of does it, but only in-season. He does not do projections.

Long story short, kickers are impossible to quantify. They're like the Joker in the game show The Joker's Wild. Just popping up and ruining fantasy days everywhere.

KEEECK!

 

[rockaction]

Which reminds me that the funniest moment I've ever had here came during a thread that David Dodds took out after tim criticized FBG projections. Dodds was pissed and ripped into tim and a thread followed suit with the funniest thing I'd ever read on the board. After about three pages of back and forth that was getting contentious, studsnduds chimed in with this gem. "I get that this might not be best time but david can you ask bob herbig if he's trade succop for birongas?"

I don't know why but LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

I nearly spit what I was drinking all over the place.
