you're in for a disappointment if you expect pressure from nolan. i'm not saying he is a total shit coordinator but he's not good in my opinion. for instance, the only reason patrick willis was starting for us was because derek smith got hurt.

nolan is stubborn and has stupid ass packages like the big nickle.... his D will rarely give up big plays, instead just letting the other team dink and dunk all the way down the field. his defenses were always HORRIBLE against screen passes as well.

but maybe i'm just a bitter ex lover dissing on nolan now that i found the new hotness jim harbaugh!
Well, I'm putting more stock on his performance as a DC in Denver and Miami the last three years. He had a reputation for blitzing too much in Denver. He was inconsistent in Miami. There was a stretch where Miami blitzed less than 10 times a game, and then they blitzed almost 20 times in the first half against New England.
 
Fisher did an interview today after his press conference, and he actually said "you can't fit square pegs into round holes. We'll adapt our schemes to the personnel." I almost cried.

looks like your owner refused to recommit to st. louis. welcome back to LA, rams!

1 extra niners game per year for me :D
 
I didn't like the de-RPGing of Mass Effect 2, but the longer I played the more I got into it. Will be getting ME3.


Anyhow, debate on Houston radio on whether to spend the money on Mario Williams. Defense was awesome without him, but would probably be even more awesome with him (and obviously with the injury history of the Texans depth is never a bad thing). Mario seemed to be adjusting really well to Wade's 3-4: he had five sacks in 4 games before getting injured.

Still, the price tag would be high. Even a franchise tag would be around 23 mil, if I heard correctly.

I have no doubt Kubiak wants to bring him back. Any guy who keeps trotting Jacoby Jones and Kareem Jackson out there obviously can be loyal to a fault. But as was the case with Vontae, once the 'value' is reached in terms of money, even the Texans will cut ties.
 
Speaking of games anyone going to get a Vita?I probably will.

Was really tempted until they announced the retarded pricing of memory sticks. Holy shit Sony, what a way to kill yourselves. Sony will never learn when it comes to proprietary formats. The temptation mainly came from Uncharted, because I love me some uncharted, even if its not by Naughty Dog (although strangely still havent beaten Uncharted 3, so maybe I don't love it as much as I thought). Although let me make it clear, Uncharted 2 was amazing.

I'll get one, but I'll probably wait a bit to see if any hardware issues pop up.

I'll never forget getting a PSP at launch... I set it behind my recliner in the living room that I never use because it seemed like a convenient place to charge. A friend came over and kicked the recliner out and the back of the chair crushed the screen.

oh wow that sucks.

Yeah I mentioned this earlier. They are gone. The city has no money (like every other city) to spend on renovating the stadium. But LA will actually have build a stadium for anyone to go there, and so far nothing has happened.

San Diego and Minnesota both have expired leases but are staying in their current stadiums b/c they too have no other options. The NFL owners need a new city to step up and be a leverage point so the billionaires can make more money
 
No. Haven't played a DS or PSP game since going to iOS. All my mobile gaming happens on my iPad now.
Completely uninformed on the platform, but are there games actually worth playing on the iPad? It just seems like controlling it would be more for novelty gaming.

oh wow that sucks.
Yeah, I didn't even realize when it first happened either. I was getting ready for bed later that night and I was going to unplug it, and then I saw the crushed screen and it all made sense. It came up in conversation down the road and the friend offered to pay for it, but it was just poor placement on my part. I charge everything elevated and in sight now.
 
I cleaned my first psp (1000) screen with Orange Glow glass cleaner...

Needless to say I had an excuse to upgrade (for a 2/3000) afterwards..haha

so dumb of me :/
 
Regarding Nolan, I've been reading up on him, and it looks like we'll be seeing more man. That's probably bad news for Grimes, but great news for Dunta who's been out of place in our zone scheme.

He has a reputation as a judicious blitzer, and he did a greatjob providing one-on-one isolations for Wake on obvious passing downs with a lot of stunts in the interior and ignoring lanes.
Does he? I recall him being a bend-but-don't-break type of D coordinator when he was in DC. In fact I remember when Snyder sent him a gallon of 31 flavors ice cream with a note saying that he hated his "vanilla" scemes.
 
If we didn't have the Bucs then we wouldn't have the great quotes from Bucs Coach John McKay.

I don't know if it was Manusky or Nolan, but fuck if we ever blitzed anyone ever. I don't know where this reputation for blitzing comes from, because the niners sure as shit didn't blitz for the years he was there as head coach.
 
are the 49ers not aware that the giants can't be beat? why are we even playing this game? just don't hurt any of our players antrel. just take your superbowl berth and leave us be :(

LOL Fuck outta here, that's nowhere near shit talking for Rolle.

I heard the whole interview, futurevoid even referenced it earlier, it wasn't even close to how the article is making it sound. Tebow-damn the media is a circus.

But he said the Giants were going to win! What a douche!

Look up the definition of "judicious."

Eventually but not at launch. I still think $300 (with memory card) is too much for a system I will rarely play. I will never forget how little I played the PSP after buying it on launch day. It was basically a Lumines machine.
 
Jets need to keep Holmes.

I'd change the QB before I'd get rid of Holmes.
I agree but I would be fine with Scott getting released as long as we replace him with someone viable. I also didn't know Pouha was that old. Devito seems injury prone but I'd still keep him too. Hopefully we can snag a pass rusher in the draft.

The iPad/iPhone/iPod thread is up to its 4th OT now. Are there novelty games? Yes. Some of them are fun. You'll hear the argument "but they aren't real gamezzzzz" which is bullshit. There are a lot of games for iOS that are deep and worth playing. The thing is I almost always have my iPad with me. I use it to post on GAF, for one. So it's my go-to device when I have a little time during the day to play something.

Is it perfect? No. But I don't think either the DS or the PSP is perfect either.
