I don't know what's sadder:

The fact that these lost children are posting anime again or that no one seems to be able to muster enough of a fuck to correct them on the folly of their ways.

Have NFL defenses figured out the zone blocking scheme:

you wonder whether NFL defensive coordinators have discovered some magic bullets that can disrupt the zone-blocking schemes that have infiltrated the game over the last decade.

Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak is regarded as the NFL patriarch of the zone-blocking technique, but Denver has failed to crack 70 rushing yards in either of its first two games.

Kubiak's acolyte, Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, has struggled to create running room with his zone-blocking scheme in Atlanta. Through two games, one of them against the Eagles, the Falcons are averaging only 2.8 yards per carry.

In fact, when you look at the bottom of the NFL's team rushing rankings, you'll find a preponderance of zone-based schemes. New Orleans, which began incorporating more zone technique a couple of years ago, is averaging only 3.4 yards per carry and under 80 yards per game. Sean Payton's acolyte, Detroit offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, has seen his offense gain 107 yards on 32 carries, an average of 3.3 per run.

The Seahawks, whose scheme is heavily based on zone blocking, saw Marshawn Lynch rush for only 41 yards on 15 carries against the Packers on Sunday. In Week 1, Seattle RBs had 24 carries for 93 yards.

And then there are the Dolphins, whose offense has looked every bit as dysfunctional as the Eagles' through two weeks. Miami managed only 42 yards on the ground in a loss to Jacksonville on Sunday, one week after an ugly win over Washington in which they gained only 74 yards on the ground and 256 yards total. The Dolphins' offensive coordinator is Bill Lazor, who was the Eagles' quarterbacks coach in Kelly's first season.

This was posted on philly.com in an article about the Eagles offensive woes. It is interesting that so many ZBS teams are struggling to run the ball this year.

Neat ESPN has the odds of each game on their site. Also how the fuck are we a bigger favorite against the Bears than the Pats are at home against the Jaguars?

How are we not? We should be the biggest favorite for probably the entire year.

We are playing in our home opener in a must win situation with the best home field in the entire NFL, moral boost of Kam back, and we are going up against an 0-2 team with a backup QB on the road... in said best home field.

I never watch First Take, but espn.com had a video clip of Skip going on about how awful the Browns are and JFF and I thought he was going to cry. Is that how it usually is?

From that article YH posted

The Eagles' offensive struggles through the first two weeks of the season are ugly even when you move beyond the context of the bar Kelly has set for himself. They are one of only four teams since 2000 to combine for 70 or fewer rushing yards in their first two games, joining the 2012 Raiders (4-12), the 2012 Titans (6-10) and the 2006 Bucs (4-12) Since 1990, 21 teams have entered their third game with 100 or fewer rushing yards. Those teams were 3-39 in those games, and only three of them went on to qualify for the postseason.

Really bad week to try and get the run game better

e: b/c of the Eagles' failures this year I have watched far more than I ever thought on OL technique and schemes

This guy is pretty good as far as putting up vids and description. Some stuff from NYG and one from Steelers

Good morning everyone. Peace, love and understanding. It's Friendly Friday. I'm sorry Mal that you're sick. Blame the kid. That's what good parents do, blame their children for all the problems in their life.

Edit- I have been corrected and realize it's Thursday so with this knowledge.

Fuck the Raiders and MRSA
Fuck the Bucs and DM
And Fuck the Steelers and Jak

Nice thanks I'll check him out more when I get home.

I will solve the mystery of the zone blocking problems with the teams like the Broncos and Eagles:

Their offensive linemen are playing at or below replacement level. Denver in particular has been really bad.

Backed up here: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol

DeMarco Murray's yards before contact is less than 1. That's Giants-esque.

That Murray stat is so damning. Sunday was the rare time I have seen a back lose 6 yards and not think it was his fault for trying to break a run to the outside or needlessly give ground.
