Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Quack Fix: Lavasier Tuinei, Daryle Hawkins, and Justin Hoffman look to make an impact at receiver

Daryle Hawkins was the backup QB over the past couple years, but he's now made the switch to WR.

22 days until the start of the season, but only 20 days to college football. Enjoy the summer now, because it's not lasting much longer. Here's your quack:

Also, here’s a Training Camp Report from the Texan’s SBN site, Battle Red Blog. Sounds like Maehl is doing great!

4. Speaking of Leinart, Brooks Reed picked off a pass he threw and almost took it to the house and would have succeeded had Jeff Maehl not caused him to fumble the ball before getting to the end zone.
11. I said earlier that I think Jeff Maehl has a very good chance at making this team. According to Lance Zierlein, Coach Kubiak seems to think the same thing.

Listening to Gary Kubiak talk about undrafted rookie Oregon WR Jeff Maehl this morning leads me to believe he has a shot at making the team.

Honestly?

I was sad for Dixon but I thought we still should have won each of those last 3 games, and I was pissed at how our team pussed out, no heart. Yes, there was also the fact that Dixon was just the last in a long line of injuries, but we certainly had a chance to beat Zona, then the UCLA game was the worst display of football by two teams in the history of football, which means we had a shot at that. I went into that game thinking we wouldn’t lose it. Then against the Bavers, it looked like we started to drop the ovaries back into the ball sack, but just couldn’t quite get it done.

In all, two gigantic puss outs, one reasonable puss out.

All with our original NCG shot on the line, and three shitty teams to get past and find some way to get it done.

Honestly, Dennis Dixon was a hero and an all time stud, but the heart in the rest of that team was very, very meh.

Technical question

Are “slot receiver” and “possession receiver” the same thing? When the tazer lines up, is it always on the LOS or does it depend on the play?

TZR mean "Tailback, slot ("Z"), wide Receiver."

IOW a TZR can line up at any of those positions as necessary. If Barner is in the game at the same time as LMJ for instance, rather than sub in a player to suit the situation (and therefore by rule allowing the defense to sub as well, killing momentum) CK can have KJB line up as needed depending on the play being called.

“Possession receiver” isn’t a position but a type of player. It generally refers to a sure-handed, precise route runner who can be counted on to make the catch to keep a drive (or “possession”) alive.

by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Aug 12, 2011 12:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

Sorry, I should have been more specific

My confusion stems from the a RB (at least in my head) not lining up on the LOS. When the tazer role requires Barner (or whoever) to be in the slot, does he line up on the LOS or is he a yard or two back? Is he still considered a slot receiver if he runs it from a two TB formation? I think I’m confusing routes (button hook) and plays (screens) with positons? There’s no reason a RB can’t run a flag route (other than weirdness?).

They can’t move abruptly after a 3-point-stance. They can shift their weight around, but even if they do shift their weight, they need to stop moving for 2-seconds. That’s why you’ll see the center call out protection and then wait before snapping the ball, even if the QB signaled for it.

Usually back from the LOS.

Again, the “TZR” role means the player can line up at the Tailback, Slot (Z), or wide Receiver. So if he lines up next to DT, he’s a tailback. If his out wide, he’s a WR, etc. He’s listed as a running back and wears a RB number, so that’s “officially” his position.

Not exactly, but slot receivers run a lot of inside routes. So you want a guy with good hands, good concentration, good separation, and can take good a hit.

The LOS doesn’t exactly matter for a slot, but you need at least 7 players on the LOS, and only the two on the outside of the LOS are eligible receivers.

So if the slot guy is on the LOS, the receiver on the outside needs to be off the LOS in order to be an eligible receiver.

The direction Kelly is taking our offense

Seems to be about combining the slot receiver and RB positions. Right now we have a ton of fast, versatile players like Barner, Huff, and (eventually) DAT and Lyerla. Whether their nominal position is RB, WR, TE, or whatever, I can see us just rotating through a bunch of guys who are a threat to either go out in the slot or come into the backfield as a RB.

That's the "TZR" or "Tazer" role.

Tailback, slot (“Z”), and wide Receiver.

IIRC, technically "Z" is the "flanker" position and "Y" is the "slot."

With “Z” being the receiver next to the TE. But it seems they’re used interchangeably any more.

Generally, you’re right. But it does vary from team-to-team.

When I watch these videos this is what I hear:

“Traditional powers like Alabama, Florida, and Texas can lose any number of linemen and be expected to recover because, goddamnit, they’re Texas, Florida, or Alabama. Great programs get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to replacing key players. But them folks out in Ory-gone just don’t fit the bill, so while we admit that they are good, we don’t trust them in the same way we trust other big time football programs. I wish they’d just go away and let USC be good again, things were so much easier back then. Everything was as it should be. I hate change.”

She will also be joining me to root for the Ducks. The food and beer selection (including bottled Belgians) at the Stadium Pub is awesome. It’s hard for me to justify trekking into SF when manna from heaven is so close, but I am sure I can be persuaded. Last year, I caught the u$c game in Sacramento with a fraternity brother of mine.

You’d still need to have people to monitor the people and tables, but how great would it to be to visit the bar, have a seat, and the host/hostess sets the initial limit amount at 2 pints/person and just gives everyone a glass?

As a business owner, you’re capturing the cost of every single drop.

As a patron, you don’t have to wait for the server except for food and not beer drinks.

A lot of the design difficulties come with refrigeration and establishing effective pressures, but I work with designing hydraulic multipurpose pumps every day.

Nope, just sayin'.

The OLCC is so backwards (and/or power hungry) that it’s taken until now to even think about “testing” the idea of selling hard liquor in regular stores.

This should be a no-brainer everywhere.

I guess that’s what you get with an overbearing regulatory agency.

It was interesting being in New York and seeing the sources of their inertia. It’s even worse there – can’t even sell wine in regular stores. Instead of the reg agency, they have corrupt business groups strong-arming producers into keeping the restrictions in place.

I have a beer guy that is in charge of the beer and wine at a New Seasons. I promised him I wouldn’t tell anybody they “had it”. Last time I talked to him, he said he browsed AtQ from time to time, so… I’m not going to say which one it is.

But New Seasons has a lot of beer not on the shelf, and you’ll have to ask someone there if they have it.

It’s funny, I thought the same thing about beer from Missouri, until I tried it. Probably one of the better breweries in the country.

Anyone had Widmer Rotator IPA?

Drinking one now and I cannot get over the citrus flavor from the hops.

I was in Pacific City several months ago and had Pelican Brewery’s IPA and it was even more so. Amazing how much punch you can get out of the hops.

My parents believed in me.

Which one? I’ve had a couple of their rotator IPAs, one was good, the other was bad.

Finally made it to the Bierstein.

Been meaning to all summer. Tried Caldera’s Rauch Ur Bock. I’ve been really intrigued by rauchbiers for a while (partly because Rauch is nearly the same as the original German spelling of my last name) but this was the first time trying one.

Very, very nice. Hard to describe totally, but well balanced – and touches like the cherrywood gave some really nice subtle fruit notes without really being at all fruity. In fact, my girlfriend said that her first sip set off her vegetarian alarm, as in the smokedness created an impression or aspect of meat, like jerky or some such thing. Overall one of the more unique beer experiences I’ve had in a while.

i had that in a 22 once, the first few sips made me think I was drinking liquid smoke, but after my nose adjusted, I noticed a lot of delicious subtleties

Liquid smoke, huh? Kinda like drinking bong water?

Eh.

Having lived in Germany for instance, I can tell you there are many, many beers that are just OK at best. Nothing as bad as PBR, but plenty that I avoided. Not that most of the servicemen didn’t just buy taxpayer-subsidized Bud from the PX or Enlisted Men’s Club.

Sort of OT

I watched the Ravens v. Eagles game was last night while at the gym. I thought it was from the early to mid 2000’s because #92 wasn’t on the field. It looked all old-timey on the SD exercise bike TV. Turns out it was preseason!

I love Chip Kelly. That is all.

Even after five days, Kelly said he is no closer to figuring out who the No. 3 running back will be behind LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner.

“It doesn’t matter,” Kelly said. “We don’t even talk about it. we’ve never had a personal meeting. We don’t care.”
