I've been too depressed to even look at this thread, but you have it quite right.

Only 2 points off at 31 - 16, so @Faceplant gets the scoring glory and the $5000. ROD Dollars just as soon as @CGI_Ram steps away from the ledge. Well done sir ...

Dodger Stadium has always been my favorite. Seems like every night game I attended the weather was perfect. Day games got a little warm but not too bad. Just something about that stadium feels so comfortable to be watching a game there.

One of these games I gotta get tickets to the pavillion section. I remember having good seats just a few rows up from the field level near 3rd base. I watched the people in the bleachers. They were having blast. The people in my section were a little more subdued trying to be proper. I told my wife "I'd rather be over there. Those people are having a lot more fun than we are".

Good point.

Mcvay's entire offensive philosophy is centered around the passing game and always has been. He gets these smaller mobile Olinemen that can get out on screen plays. Uses 11 personnel dam near exclusively and uses TE's that can catch and run but often suck at run blocking such as Higbee. He uses his WR's way too much in the run game so he can sneak in his "WR block" into the pass game. No fullback ever to be seen except a "WR" this year.

It's hard to be mad at a guy that constantly puts out a top offense, this year withstanding. And of course past years we saw dropoffs when the injuries hit the Oline hard. 2019-2020. He's a creative offensive playcaller with the pass game and really knows how to coach his guys up to a high level of execution.

But the lack of prioritizing the Oline is his downfall. It's more then just the Tutu over Humprey pick. We have known Whitworth was aging for years. Players like Evans, Edwards and Allen and even Noteboom were showing some potential but None of them ever looked like plus starters or Pro Bowl level players. So, Mcvay was OK with a Mediocre line at the end of the day. It was like pulling teeth to get them to spend some capital to make a trade for a player like Corbett and then once his contract expired he wasn't prioritized. Saffold was able to walk etc.

I don't blame Mcvay for not being run first. He is not Shannahan. He is pass first and it can work. Many, Many games we have come out blazing on offense with pass after pass and beaten teams that way. But to go into the season with a mediocre starting 5 and very weak depth was a mistake and now he is paying the price.

Our best 5 will be Jackson, Edwards, Allen, Shelton and Havs. It might be serviceable as a pass protecting Oline but I don't see it ever being much better in run blocking.

Fortunately I've never had to 'diet', my body type hasn't required one. I've always eaten and drank what I wanted without regard to other influences, although I was told to watch my cholesterol about 25 years ago, which I stopped doing about 22 years ago. I've always balanced my intake with the healthy and perhaps not so much, but am not excessive about anything and have never had an addictive personality with regards to still enjoying drink and some popular drugs from the age of 15. I jogged and worked out from my early 20's until my mid 60's, then said fuck it. I wore a mens pants size 32/34 from college up until about 3 years ago (67) when I graduated to a 36, and there I remain. I'd rather live to 70 and eat what I want than live to 80 on some restricted 'diet', but that's just me. Outside of a little pot, I take no prescription medicine of any kind for anything, although that may change soon due to back pain. In many respects, I've been lucky, and being in the food service industry I've watched many who had weight gain and/or became alcoholics/addicts. Now that I'm moving into antique territory personally, I just don't give a shit about those things that once bothered me, and I've always been more 'hippie' than buttoned down, so heaven looks a lot more like Harley's, 'hippie' chicks and a gourmet buffet than golden riches & religious icons, ... not that I believe in such a place anyway.
No doubt, more information than you wanted, but there you have it. jmo.

Ty Nsekhe will be the Swing OT (LT/RT) reserve today. Matt Skura is also active to back up center Brian Allen. McVay called up elevated Reserve Swing OG Chandler Brewer from the PS for the 4th time.

Jeremiah Kolone resigned to the Practice Squad yesterday joining OT AJ Arcuri. Not sure what happen to Max Pricher?

No recent information has been provided on IR OL'ers Coleman Shelton & David Edwards on any return time.

FWIW the whole reason field turf was developed was to offer the best solution for playing surface. Now granted grass gives, but field turf offers quite a bit of pluses too.

Watering vs. Cutting
When it comes to watering versus cutting the turf field has it hands down over the natural grass field. Both need to be watered but for different reasons. Natural grass must be watered often to ensure proper grass growth. The turf field must be watered simply to remove dust and dirt buildup.

Wear From Traffic
When it comes to foot traffic on turf as compared to grass fields, again turf fields take it hands down. Foot traffic can make bare spots on a natural grass field. Turf is far more equipped to handle foot traffic without noticeable wear and tear.

Durability
Turf fields are clearly far more durable than natural grass fields. They handle foot traffic better. If the turf is well-maintained, it can last for up to 20 years or more if you use the proper artificial turf care maintenance.

Ease of Cleaning
Turf fields are much easier to clean than are natural grass fields. If leaves get on turf it only takes a blower to blow them off. If dust and dirt get on it then you simply need to hose it off or let the rain take care of it.

Long Term Maintenance Costs
While the initial cost of installation of a turf field can be heavy, the long-term maintenance cost will make the difference over the years of use. Natural grass fields need constant watering, seeding, cutting, pesticide application and etc. Turf fields need none of that. There are maintenance costs associated with them, but it is less in the long term.

Appearance
Turf fields will maintain their appearance much better over the long term than natural grass fields. They handle wear and tear better and weather better, so they won’t turn brown in high temperatures.

Choice of Grass Type
When purchasing a turf field, the organization can choose what kind of grass they want. From length to thickness and type of grass they have many options to choose from.

Eco-Friendly
Because turf does not require pesticides or nearly as much water, it is much more eco-friendly than natural grass fields.

Water Conservation
Turf fields don’t require watering on a regular basis. If they get dusty and dirty you can simply hose them off. If you live in a rainy region then the rain can do that job for you.

Water Runoff
Turf fields are better able to handle water run off than natural grass fields. They can be used to catch the water and use it for other applications.
