I went to the beach for a week with some family so I spent a long time talking to my brother-in-law about the Panthers (he's a diehard). I asked him how he felt about Ron since I felt like he was the team's biggest weakness and he said he liked him. I wonder if he still feels that way.

It's a shame, really. There is a lot of talent on that roster but it's being squandered by a horrible HC. Kind of reminds me of the Lions.

Oh Bill

Patriots coach Bill Belichick had his response ready when asked about the status of tight end Rob Gronkowski on Wednesday morning.

"We haven't practiced today, we've just been sitting in a meeting.He looks great sitting in a meeting " Belichick said.

So we're at step 1 of escape goat. aka going after the HC. At what do we hit the step where you go after the root cause(aka hint hint he like laptops a lot) and find a counter measure?

Sounds like this could be it for Weeden. Chud wouldn't commit to him as the starter when he comes back from injury.

Good luck behind that O-line, Hoyer. You're gonna need it.

Cam does not blatantly waste timeouts. Cam does not pussy out when it comes to having a chance to win the game (numerous 4th and 1 punts/FGs, @ ATL and first two games this season are just a few that instantly come to mind). Cam puts his body on the line numerous times diving for first downs. He has the will to win and I sincerely believe he is held back by a mute of a HC.

Bill can be funny a lot of times, he can also take 2 hours to answer the simplest football questions in the world, talking about the advantages of punters holding the snap on FGs ( he did that last week).

Dude really knows almost everything about football.

At least he's willing to go into detail about shit. Your not hearing your head coach talk about gobble gobble turkey.

Funny.

Although I'm not even talking about his coaching skills or anything like that, just pointing out that he knows the most trivial things about football. He just knows a lot about the sport, the game, the concepts, the philosophies and all that stuff.

I enjoy it when Bill talks real football. From weird stuff like the punter/holder relationship, to what a fullback overs that TEs don't. When he goes in depth he really gets into it, and you notice that he actually enjoys answering questions then.

Who wants a coach talking about Xs and Os?

I want my coach looking sexy as fuck on the sidelines and spouting useless locker room talk like "the standard doesn't change" and fancy phrases like "splash plays".

Yes maybe a guy who gets by on looks may not be able to make any adjustments in game and yes he may not know how to manage his coaching staff or that it is impossible to make a FG past 45 yards @ Heinz field, but at least I can be happy knowing that...

Wait, what the fuck was I talking about again?

Bills story about punters and holders.

Football nerd alert! Bill Belichick explains history of using the punter as the holder

Have you ever wondered why Bill Belichick, or any coach, has used the punter as the holder in the field goal operation? Well then, this will be the best day of your life.

Belichick explained in great detail today why that's been the case, and it was some really insightful stuff.

"You want your best holder to be the holder," Belichick said. "I think that the key thing in the NFL now is just with the opportunity of your specialist. Again, the game has evolved from when I came into the league. Most teams had kicker. Most of the punters played another position, and I would say all of the long snappers played another position, either center or linebacker or tight end or whatever it was. Then punters became pretty much specialized so every team carried a kicker and a punter. Occasionally you had a guy who could do both, but that was more the exception than the rule.

"Eventually, teams started going to just pure long snappers. Like Steve DeOssie, who came into the league as a linebacker/snapper, kind of ended as a snapper and was one of the best snappers in the league. He was part of that transition and in that era where teams went and committed fully to a long snapper that played no other position. You’ve also seen that now in college. Most college teams have a pure snapper as well as a pure kicker and a pure punter.

"I just think that when you have that situation, if your punter can hold, then the amount of snaps and time that those guys get to practice together, work together, meet together, watch film together, watch slow-motions films, concentrate on the technique as opposed to the backup quarterback or somebody like that who has a lot of other responsibilities. It’s just a time -– if your holder can be your punter, then the amount of practice time, consistency, preparation time that those guys have together just so outweighs what it would be with any other player.

"Receivers have been holders. Then you go through the whole thing, if it’s a position player like a defensive back or like it was back in the ‘60s, a Jimmy Patton or a receiver and something happens to them, now whose your backup player because those guys are regular players. Not only do you have to replace them at their offensive or defensive position, you have to replace them in the kicking game, so it just cuts into your depth. Back when you had 36, 37 players, that was a whole different ballgame. Everybody doubled up in one way or another. I think that’s the way it is on most teams. Most teams punters are the holder and the snappers are the snappers and kickers are the kickers. That’s the way it is in college so we’re recruiting players that are in that very specialized phase themselves."

Has Belichick done this since arriving in New England in 2000?

"Yeah, I think even going back to, not the Giants because Dave (Jennings) didn’t hold and Sean (Landetta) didn’t hold, but ever since then, (Tom) Tupa held at Cleveland," Belichick said. "And so I’d say from somewhere in the early ‘90s that that was more the norm. Prior to that, some did, some didn’t. Danny White held for Dallas for years and so forth. There was kind of that transition there from maybe ’85 to the early-‘90s. I’d say by around ’95 or so, it was pretty much one snapper, one kicker, one punter on every team. Also as the roster numbers have creeped up as well, that’s made it affordable. When you’re down in the 30s then it’s a lot tougher to carry one of each of those; that slices into your roster pretty good. The rules have made it much easier to do."

When he's the biggest reason we're losing games.

He lost 18 games as a pro, I could only blame him directly for the loss in maybe 2 or 3 of those games.

Cam's been placed in bad situations since day 1 in this league.

You love Cam don't you ? Do what's best for him and trade him to NE where he can replace Brady in 5 years.

Woah! Ryan Clady was probably the third most important player on the Broncos. That's terrible to hear. Lucky for him that he signed his big deal before the season.
