Yeah Vick will definitely get the first shot but if he cant do the things Chip wants his QB to do, get the ball out fast and dont turn it over, it will be Barkley getting the next chance I believe.

It is?
Well now we add Milt to it. See? It's hilarious because his name is really Mat!
There'll be more suicide talk when Jets fans find out Sanchez is still their starting QB.
Seems the Packers are going to have a big competition over the RT spot and possibly Center as well. Going to presume TJ Lang has no worries about losing out at RG.
I'm wondering if Barclay with his visible effect on the run game will win over RT.
RB is an obvious position of drastic competition. Assuming we keep 4 I'll presume Lacy, Franklin, Harris, Starks. No particular order other than Starks. Though at that point on the depth chart and his injury problems, they might just give that to the guy that seems healthiest. I'm sure some will stick on practice squad as well.
I really liked Harris and hope he isn't just pushed out of starting chances due to draft picks.
D-line doesn't seem like a huge competition as they all will just rotate anyways, but hopefully someone will start to shine.
OLB should be interesting opposite of Matthews and his depth.
Looking forward to all those battles.
We could also use a diamond in the rough to show up at MLB, wish we made a splash there.

And even more when you find out that your new job requires you to wear pants.

Fuck I hate wearing pants more than being sober. Still waiting on HR to call and tell me if I got the job or not.

Anyone else getting Metro Last Light?
I wouldn't worry. It sounds like being employed will be a temporary affliction.
It means their QBs couldn't hit the broad side of the barn so all those incompletions gave them time to run extra plays.
Stanford had a pretty good D this year. Going by NFL players the conference isn't bad at all. They just usually aren't concentrated on the same team(s) like they are in the SEC, particularly the linemen.

My interview was on friday. Im sitting on pins and needles even though I know one business day is way too little time to expect a call.
I don't like the sound of this, though Tavon was pretty frank about all the people trying to get at him in media interviews
I don't like scary games
Condemned and the first Metro were great, but wrecked my fragile nerves

Condemned and the first Metro were great, but wrecked my fragile nervesI was told a week when I had my interview on Wednesday. Hoping both of us get good news soon.
Hope you get the job Focker.

I don't think that's trolling at all. I don't consider the Jets a team either.
Poor, deposed BlackGhost and his JCamp dreams
Ayup, good old fire emblem. Best is when you get a character killed when an enemy crits with a 1% chance.

Tavon went to the same high school as Prop Joe.

The first thing Tavon needs to do is cut everybody off, EVERYBODY, including his immediate family because they're going to bleed him dry with fast cars, big houses and stupid investment decisions and he will not be able to say no to his own mother, give her a mil and then cut her off completely.
Sad to see Buddy go, the guy gave me a shitload of laughs. Any Bills fan that truly follows knew this was coming, even though Nix was denying it as much as possible. He cleaned house last year, put new people in charge of running the scouting and personnel dept, and made a young guy AGM. Personally, I knew it would happen, it was clear as day.
Lets see what Whaley's got, he's one impressive dude when he sits down and talks players.

Lots of alumni from that Dunbar HS. Tupac and Sam Cassell the two biggest
That's my worry. He said he is letting his Mom take care of all the people coming at him, and he has changed his phone number, but family can get a player worse than friends. Dez Bryant's mom extorted money from him

Totally non-football related but boy am I struggling with the 3D on the XL. It's utter shit. I already mentioned some issues with it before but goodness this thing is so much worse than the original 3DS in that regard. The slightest movement and the ghosting/double image is killer (and I'm holding the thing a good distance away from my face).
I know, I know just turn it off but it's pretty integral to something like Mario 3D Land for instance. It's too bad cause the rest of the XL design is so much better than the OG unit.

Dunbar was dominating while I went to high school. I remember my freshman year my school won our division, was undefeated, and lost to Dunbar by 50 in the playoffs.

I'm kind of hoping Nintendo backs away from using the 3D in most of their games.
It's sad but a slightly more powerful "DS 2" would have done better.

Mike Wallace's peak velocity is probably about 3.6 Hartlines/second.
You're getting ghosting in 3D Land? That's weird, I was just playing that a few days ago and I thought the 3D looked great on the XL (played through the game the first time on the OG 3DS). Maybe I forgot that the angle was better on the original but they seem pretty similar as far as I can recall (neither is very good, though). Ghosting was always more of an issue with whatever game I was playing and that's been the same with the XL.

Beyond has that 70's porno funk going to it. I absolutely love it.
Well its more than just uptempo offense. He wants everything fast. The work outs, practices, and even film study. More emphasis on repetition accuracy which according to him and his experience works better to "install" a system in a player's brain.
And even if it has been used in the past, its still relatively rare in the NFL. Brady and the Pats took some of these concepts but of course with Brady at the helm its tailored for his skill set and works beautifully.
Chip does have to find his QB but a lot of what he is doing isn't just the offense, its the whole football program from the ground up. It is new and unique. Either it blows up in the Eagles's faces big time or the Navy Seals trainers, the odd ball moves of the locker assignments, the personalized shakes, the one word play calling, the music blasting at practices, and versatility required from each player works to eventually win them a SB.
Everything is just so different already from the last 14 years and I couldn't be more excited for a rebuilding season where realistically I only expect 5-7 wins.
My personal theory is that despite Vick's age, poor play the last 2 seasons, and injury prone body, Chip himself hasn't decided which version of what offense he will run. So he needed to keep Vick and Foles.
He brought in Pat Shurmur because he knows the WCO. Chip doesn't. He doesn't want to define himself too narrowly and then be stuck if it doesn't work. Love the fact that he isn't stubborn about schemes and having it his way only. He says he constructed his coaching staff with people who have expertise in things he might not. Won't force players and coaches to do things they can't.
With all that said obviously the most explosive offense he has run was his Oregon offense (which was different than what he did at New Hampshire). He has to be at least intrigued to see what Vick can do in that type of offense. If he can run the most explosive version of his offense which Vick's skill set would allow, he will at least experiment to see how it works in the NFL.
If it doesn't, then well Vick is only on a 1 year contract and will be gone either through injury or FA. Even if Vick pulls it off well he might be gone due to his age but at least Chip will have figured out what he himself wants to run in the NFL.
