Is it asking too much.........

I love Michael Stipe

oh life is bigger
bigger than you
and you are not me
the lengths that I would go to
the distance in your eyes
oh no I've said too much

 

I don't disagree, though in my view Archer's problem was knowing when to take a knee, and not try and break a big return but end up getting stuffed at the 6 yard line.

It's about maturity and timing.

 

Yes, he returned kicks for Kent State, in college...

His MAIN role, tho, was as a tailback... he gashed defense on a regular basis, but he was playin in the MAC division,
Not the Big Ten, SEC, etc...

His coach, at the time, later lamented, not using him as a reciever, out of the backfield more often.

Granted, that`s not NFL level competition, on defense, but I`ve seen his speed, over, and over again,

And I think we would be foolish, not to give him more chances, at this level... Just, not "up the middle"...

Take advantage of his speed.

Use him on screens, misdirections, kickoff returns, etc.... Don`t expect him to take it thru the hole, off tackle, or center...


Delayed draws... Maybe... but, I hate that play, on general principle...

GO STEELERS!!!

 

Haley seems to love it... I'm hoping with improved line play the draw will be more effective, but it didn't seem to have too much success relative to the number of times we ran it last year.

 

to be honest I like him running up the middle as a tailback, just not on 3rd and 1. his quickness to the line is what makes him dangerous and if he gets a small hole he is in the secondary before they know it. that's what he did in school so well. no the MAC isn't the big 10 or SEC but it's no slouch either. we have a few stars from the MAC. ben, AB and Harrison are all from the MAC.

 

You might have a point there, "MAC"...

If Pouncey, Decastro, etc, can open holes, fine...

I just think he will be more effective, outside...

When he got to the 2nd level of defense, in college, he wasn`t usually facing guys that get drafted into the NFL, in the 1st round...

Now, he will be... Not saying he CAN`T do it, but he strikes me as more of a threat, if he gets the ball in space, with room to make someone miss, than, "up the gut"...

Then again... Obviously... I`m no coach...

I just want to let him have his chances...

GO STEELERS!

 

Actually, based on his posts and background, in my eyes, he is a big man.

 

Ok, we can go politically correct:

Horizontally challenged.

 

Where is that little person? I haven't seen him around for a few days.

 

He is lurking about, but normally you cannot see him.. quiet unassuming wee person that is clever at hiding toe tally invisible lol

 

I never understood why "little people" is supposed to be an improvement. That just sounds condescending. If it were me, I'd prefer a technical term... I'm not sure what the correct term is though.

I also think "retarded" is much nicer than "___ disabled", but that's just me. It's not used that way because people hurl it like an insult, but I think it's a better, nicer word. If I was retarded I'd say, "Hey screw you, I'm not disabled, I'm just retarded. Go jump in a lake."

 

Is everybody talking about me? LOL! I'm trying to think of who is actually shorter. I don't mind being called a midget, little person, dwarf or whatever. I guess if I had a preference I'd just say call me an ewok. LOL.

 

I'm the same way. I'm like "dude I'm kind of offended that you are trying to go out of your way to not offend me"! LOL! It's like on The Office when no one knew the security guards name and Jim has to call him and he's like "hey are you the...uhh..African..American guy???" LOL! Why even mention Africa at all? If you're born here or attain citizenship you are an American and that's it. It just sounds weird to give people two nationalities ya know?

 

you mean like french canadian ? lol

 

Yeah. Something like that. I am also posting on an airplane right now and might be the first mile high poster ever! Remember this moment TTF! I have taken us to the sky! Lol!

 

Honestly I don't think dc actually take him into account for the most part. Yeah sure he is going to surprise you on some level but I don't see him making a huge difference offensively.

 

you know bft we have gotten to know one another over the last few years on this board but not well enough to talk about the mile high club.. lol

 

Well I didn't mean it that way. Lol.

 

Yeah guess where I am. I'm sure it will difficult. Lol.
