This is great. Lol. Plenty have called him out, most ignore him, and a couple have actually enjoyed some of the random nerdy knowledge that he plagiarizes off the interweb. Douche. Hahaha. Good stuff man. You need to post more often. |

I've never been more scared than I am right now.

Re: Post game Packers
I don't think expressing the idea that there are different degrees, tiers, grades of "hurries" and "pressures" is embarrassing at all.
Further, I don't think expressing the idea that the crappiest "hurries" that fall into the crappiest tier may not relate to sacks even though they may show up on ESPN's stat sheet is embarrassing either. I do think going straight to ad hominem attacks without mentioning, in any way, the argument with which you disagree is embarassing because it is a lazy rhetorical crutch. I simply proposed in post #152 (for those reading along) that all "pressures" are not the same, and that some may not be a good indicator of a near sack, and some, on the other hand probably are, but there isn't necessarily a correlation, and definitely not a causation. Scenario 1, Kerrigan pressures Andrew Luck on step 3 of a 5 step drop. The pressure gets there before Luck is expecting it and before the Offensive line drops to block for 5 steps. They are out of position because the pressure arrives to quickly. He has to throw the ball out of bounds BECAUSE Kerrigan gets there ahead of schedule. Scenario 2, Kerrigan pressures Andrew Luck on step 7 of a 5 step drop. Luck has already gone through all of his reads, nobody is open, Kerrigan is closing in and nearly gets his hands on him, Luck is EXPECTING pressure because it is a 5 step drop and he has been holding the ball too long. He throws the ball out of bounds. Those plays would show up in ESPN's stat column as pressures, but they are radically different in the likelihood of resulting in a sack. In the first, Luck isn't expecting pressure and has an "oh crap" moment and isn't able to plan but has to react. In the second, Kerrigan is just as close to Luck, but the internal clock is ticking and Luck knows he has to throw it away. Despite being just as close to a sack physically, in reality Kerrigan isn't close at all because Luck is prepared to end the play with as positive a result as the situation makes possible.

When I think of the intellectual giants of our age, and throughout history, I distinctly recall one common trait. Without exception, the mark of a true genius is telling others, their peers, just how smart they are. This makes sense when you think about it. If he didn't tell us how smart he was, then how would we know.

Your first paragraph says it all. There are absolutely unequivocally different degrees of hurry and pressure. I completely agree with you. Can you imagine if we had even one dominant edge rusher in that front 7. My God. I do not think RK is a weakness by any means, he is definitely above average and smart. Good team player. Smith on the other hand? But neither of them strike fear in the heart of the opposing quarterback. Probably a position that we can upgrade after the year along with wr and interior o line. |

You're an insecure online bully who needs to convince all you are the smartest. You parrot whatever theme is being put forward by various analysts as insight. You ignore logic and reason as it applies to something indefensible you say, probably of the cuff, then defend like it is some holy doctrine. You're response was truly perfect, in character, and predictable. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

And I've been one to knock Kerrigan for not producing more. But at some point you just gotta accept he's not Khalil Mack, he's not Von Miller... But he's a reliable, consistent edge rusher who plays well, is available, and is having a really good beginning of a season so far. Saying he's not in the same category as those other guys is true IMO. But we've had this discussion for several years now, so I'm guessing that dead horse has been reduced to a putrefying steak tartare that nobody will (nor should) ever eat after all that beating.
