Getting a vote of confidence is usually what we've seen when a coach is a candidate to be on the hot seat!

H-m-m, anyone with a recollection of history might possibly be inclined to wonder if that applies to RBs. :eek:

Nah, I used my experience to start my own business. Doing pretty good. Never pick favorites or put one over the others. Reward hard and smart work. Encourage everyone to do the same. Leave bonuses to be reached if achieved. Workers respect that and stay equally appreciative.

Congrats, Worm. Always like to hear about people starting their own thing.

I don't know if you know this, but Gimmie has a Black Belt in Karate, and trained with Marvin Hagler to earn a Middleweight Boxing title just a few short years ago (non-sanctioned) . He also placed 2nd in a long distance 1000 yard rifle competition (with scope). He also place 3rd in the Strong Man arm wrestling competition. So, I would be cau, cau, cautious about making a threat to him. He may seem lame, but don't underestimate his kindness for weakness. FYI.

When will they learn. When will they ever learn?

When I saw you pin Marinelli and the bear for the 3 count, all those years ago, and I lost $300 over it?

I said:
"Never Again."
Ah, yes, our Faulkner easy days along the wharfs.
Good times, lad, with the dark characters there.

I lived it to a fault. Those times are long past now.

The true Outlaws are now hackers and kids in front of cameras.
The old school have been sent packing, but I shall still live my life.

I shall still flaunt and cavort and be me til I can't be me anymore.
And then the wife and I shall remove ourselves to Tierra Del Fuego and then recommence the cavorting.

Is this a version of the Zeke runs into stacked boxes theory?

Because it’s been refuted multiple times. People exaggerate how much DCs “game plan” for Zeke, especially the last couple years.

You don't have to stack the box to gameplan for Zeke. Stopping Zeke is every DC priority first.

Go ahead and laugh all you want. See that Bandaid on your Avatar? You ever meet up with him in person and throw some shade at him, you would be wearing two Bandaids over those pretty eyes of yours. FYI
I’m quite sure I would hold my own, but he doesn’t bully people bigger than him off the field, only women, security guards and DJ’s half his size. I would welcome it.

Edit: assuming you’re talking about the Ewok obviously. If not, I retract my statement.

Steelers were very explicit in stating that the focus of their game plan leading into the week was to stop Elliott, with defensive coordinator Keith Butler saying on Wednesday, “that’s all you need right there. He is the guy”.

“If I’m them, I’m going in with what I know has helped me succeed in the past, and obviously, it’s 21”, he said. “We will see about the quarterback when we get there, see how he does and all that stuff. We looked at film on him. We will have a little idea of what we think he does best to try and take that away as much as we can”.

I'd put you on my security detail, but we'd goof around too much and get in trouble.

I'm putting you on my security detail!



Edit: I don't pay.

Jerry is like all zeke’s supporters, they’re stuck in 2016.

I guess all the teams that play them are too? GTFOH

I caught the largest sea run brown trout of my life in tierra del fuego a few years ago. Fish 30-40 inches and over 20# were a dime a dozen. Cold and rainy.

No matter how much it has been refuted it doesn't change the fact that when dude is in the game he is the focus of the defense.. especially now with Dak out. I think counting the defenders in the tackle box and claiming Zeke doesn't face stacked boxes is disingenuous at best.. Especially when you there is typically two defenders standing just outside the tackles' shoulders waiting run blitz .. Technically, not a stacked box by the letter definition.. but 8 or 9 defenders within 5 yards of the ball pretty much says "we need to stop this guy.." Apparently every head coach we've faced this year are exaggerating how much they game plan for him as well.. since every one of them says the same thing.. "Stopping Zeke is our #1 priority on defense."

It's amazing the lengths some of you will go to at this point to try to project Elliott as still being an elite TB.

100 percent believe you. The wildlife there is exhilarating.

No he's not.. Martin has been all-pro 4 times but has been to the pro bowl every year. Also he's not going to go down as one of the top 10 greatest Cowboys unless the team starts winning something. What has been going on has not been his fault but that's the way it works. You have to win.. Period. No doubt he's been a great one.. but the lack of team success is going to work against all the guys of this era.

Is Jason Witten a Top 10 player of all time in this franchise?
