Jordan Black suspended for PEDs

False.

If SmootSmack is to sports entertainment TV, what you are to roids, then he needs to look for a new profession.

Reread what I said and I notice you left off the following sentence clarifying that to suit your purpose.


The muscles outgrow the ligaments. No, it doesn't directly weaken the ligament, but you are taking my point and playing semantics.


Also, Corticosteroids will weaken ligament and tendon strength so what I said was technically accurate.

Stop making excuses for our OLine!

:cheeky-sm

Nice. I guess that was a pretty versatile statement.

You know what? Let's not let Goat usurp this thread. Until he returns to respond, let's just move on to the original topic at hand

Back to black - i hit the sack a- ive been too long im glad to be back.....

Not to take this thread off course, but am I the only one who has at least thought AP might have juiced given his rapid recovery and phenomenal performance this season?

I said it too. I said hgh. But I dont know crap about steroids even though im ****ing huge and stacked like a pancake. I havent harped on it but man the comeback is miraculous.

I know what you meant and I don't mean to play the semantics game, but I couldn't help myself by pointing it out. If you feel as strongly as you hinted at about the subject, you are well aware of the massive amount of misinformation floating around in regards to anabolic steroids.

An ignorant person would indeed take that one sentence and start spreading it as fact.

Regardless, no need to further break down each others posts looking for inconsistencies by either party.

To replace Black on the roster (at the moment), we've picked up some LB depth in
Vic So'oto.

Touché!


In lieu of this very fact, I think I'll edit it just to prevent that very thing.

Missed it in the new "Will RG3 play this week" thread?

Regarding Black, it should be noted that, while he doesnt start on offense, he does start on kick blocking plays.... remember last year how many field goals and punts were blocked when we lost our some of our primary kickblockers due to injuries and suspensions? This could be bad news for Forbath's streak.

Supposedly, our scouts and personnel guys under BA/MS are quite good, right? SS has said this repeatedly. And BA is a smart guy, I'd expect him to rely on their expertise regarding personnel and probably promote someone within, but absolutely I want BA at the top of the pyramid. Here again, he's said to have done wonders for the culture around Redskins Park. Does he bring in another personnel guy? Sure, whatever.

The larger point is to seperate coaching from personnel. Mike will never go for that, and I do not believe he can build a contender wearing the personnel hat, period. So you say Mike goes to personnel full time, and Kyle becomes HC. I asked the question in another thread and nobody tried to answer it, because the answer would be a fake: is Kyle a leader of men or just another offensive guru? And what if he struggles as HC? Does daddy fire him? It's a really, really stupid position to put yourself in as a franchise. In fact, I think it's unheard of, and for good reason.

I think it's funny there's a whole thread about a "Shanaplan" but there isn't a single person who can say what that plan has been, is today, or will be down the road. Just a lot of conjecture. But again, we know certain things. We know Mike thinks he knows best about personnel and will always want to be that guy. We know he "misses" a lot defensively. We know his last stop, Denver, isn't missing him in the least right now.

The arguments made against Reid were really shallow. His big screw up, not even mentioned btw, was betting on the wrong horse (Vick) who can't stay healthy and had a lower ceiling than many expected. And you can't ignore the injuries across his roster, most especially to Jason Peters and the whole oline. But more than anything, he's experienced the worst possible tragedy. It would be unreal, almost disturbing if he weren't showing signs of weariness and lack of focus this season. I don't know how some of you blow this off...hopefully it's just the kool-aid talking and not serious thought.

But yeah, I'd take a legit FO structure coupled with Reid or a handful of other HCs over the mysterious Shanaplan. We're facing two years of limited resources with an HC/GM that hasn't been able to develop a single defensive player selected outside the first two rounds, and we've seen myriad FA screw ups. It's not just McNabb. There's Brown. There's Doughty and Williams starting at safety because we bet on a dope head and a guy who hasn't been healthy in years. There's an oline that struggled mightily to pass protect when basically at full health, and now we'll see where that goes. A lot of this goes back to opportunity cost. How much better could the defense be, and even the offense, if we hadn't blown up the entire defense that still today isn't as good as the one Mike inherited?

I think what we saw is a lot of one step forward, two steps back during Mike's first two years, though this season looks like two steps forward, one step back. We got RG and the offense clicking, but the secondary fell into the toilet and the defense was a huge liability up until recently.
