Sea of Thieves Inn-side Story #10: Co-Op Gameplay

Sea of Thieves is really looking fucking great! I love how they are subtlety giving every member of the crew "roles". Cant wait for bread to be in charge of the map and have Boban steer into some rocks the tell him he is a dumbass for doing it
So lame.

Someone is going to have to play the cabin boy.

On Switch everyone gets to be the captain. And you can do it while actually captaining your own boat.

Fucking with you guys is just too easy.

Surprised Elway is going for a Defensive head coach instead of Offense with Shanahan.

Like I said earlier, Raporport said that if it wasn't for Kubes, Vance would have been hired two years ago.

They probably want to lock him up now and not wait for Shanahan to get knocked out of the playoffs, whenever that may be. That's if they even thought that he was right for the job.
 
Patriots CB Eric Rowe is ready to make the postseason jump:

The second-year corner has settled into the Patriots secondary well following the early September trade.

by Kirk von Kreisler Jan 7, 2017, 1:00pm EST
New England Patriots defensive back Eric Rowe is having a sophomore season to remember. The 2015 second-round pick was dealt to New England from Philadelphia for a 2018 conditional fourth-round pick early last September. The six-foot-one cornerback out of Utah had played three seasons at safety before switching in his senior season and impressed scouts with his frame and press coverage. However, Rowe had a rookie season that showed little promise.

Rowe had trouble settling into the Eagles’ defensive scheme, a concern that scouts had pointed out about being scheme-specific; yet, instead of attempting to mold Rowe into new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz’s scheme, GM Howie Roseman decided to ship him off to New England. Keep in mind that this was an Eagles team that had just come off of ranking 28th in passing yards against and 31st in passing touchdowns against. Rich went into depth on the trade here.

The second-year corner also had difficulty settling into the Patriots’ defense, missing the first five games with an ankle injury. He was still trying to move up the depth chart and earn his keep in the locker room. That all changed after Seattle week.

The week after New England’s loss to Seattle, Rowe emerged as the cornerback opposite of Malcolm Butler. Rowe played 98% (118 of 120) of the Patriots’ defensive snaps the following two weeks before suffering a slight hamstring injury in week 13 that would hold him out the next game. Then, after returning in week 15, Rowe again built up his playing time, being on the field for 77%, 88%, and then 98% of New England’s defensive snaps for the last three regular season games.


Rowe finished the regular season leading Patriots defensive backs with an impressive 56.9 passer rating against, coming out ahead of Butler, who had a 76.3 passer rating against and Ryan, who had a 75.4 rating against (ratings from NESN’s Doug Kyed).

Overall, Rowe played 43.4% of the defensive snaps throughout the season, starting seven games and being inactive for seven games. His rise into the second cornerback spot initiated Logan Ryan’s move into the slot as the third corner, an upgrade from Justin Coleman and Cyrus Jones, while allowing the Patriots to use Rowe’s length and physicality on the boundary.

Fans took notice of Rowe after the Patriots’ 41-3 beatdown on the New York Jets in week 16. Rowe made two noteworthy plays that stuck out, both against straight go-routes, a route that a quarterback would think to attack Rowe, the press cover corner, with.

The fact that your dumb ass thinks I'd ever put Bead in a position of responsibility is why you're never being promoted beyond swabbing the poop deck.
 
I've posted this article a couple of times in here already, but it's always worth mentioning when it comes to the horror show players go through to play on Sundays.

Jason Taylor’s pain shows NFL’s world of hurt

Really makes me rethink how we as fans view guys. Think of how many guys we call "soft" or "fragile" because they don't play through those kinds of bullshit injuries. We should call them what they really are: Smart and rational.

NFL Network keeps replaying the Giants/Packers Wild Card game, haven't seen any of the other games replayed but this one has aired like four times over the last few days.
 
I'm going to post one image from that article:

A fair bit of NFL's problems would be solved if they just let these guys smoke weed.

Player's problems aren't necessarily the NFL's problems.

For instance, NFL has an image problem. Having over 1/3 of their players openly smoking marijuana isn't good for their image, although it would certainly be good for the players.

I'm pretty meh about the Joseph hiring. I guess I have to trust Elway, but maaaaan I really don't see it. It seems like it's a safe pick who had some friends in the Broncos' front office.
