I'll bet he's counting sprints/jumps as leg days, that makes sense.

What do you mean by more athletic? And if you were training someone to be, for example, an NFL CB like Wade any sense of what kind of philosophy you'd use?

When you are doing a single leg squat or lunge or Bulgarian split squat, you need to use more muscles to stabilize than when you’re doing bilateral work. Think also about running, blocking, taking cuts and turns - you’re generally on one leg at a time and using muscles to both stabilize and accelerate/produce force throughout the game. Doing a two leg squat or leg press or jump has less direct crossover.

I’ll be honest, I’d have no idea how to construct an NFL training protocol, especially in season. And it’d be different by position was well. But, I think he’s correct that total body and lower body work is more impressive. For upper body, I’d focus on close grip stuff - you never block or push off with your hands outside your shoulders like most people bench - and lots of tricep work, lockout stuff especially.

I’ve been paying more attention to your squad since the Adams trade. They are a good cocaine alternative for their fans. A lot of wild games.

Bro. They have been the cocaine team since 2014.

I'd take it back to Russell's rookie year (2012). They played some wild games that year, including that playoff disappointment against the Falcons.

If they could put two halves together, they can be really dangerous. But they haven't yet.

Man, they need to give up on Roethlisberger. He can't throw.

Throwing 0 yard passes on 4th and 4 is just not going to get it done.

SoS was basically the only thing keeping ARI from the top of DVOA entering this week, they have a good case that they are indeed the best team in the NFC. They're really good

Copied from Reddit:
Being a Falcons fan is like getting on a rollercoaster that has a chance to punch you in the dick after every hill. You’ve ridden it before, and you’ve been punched in the dick. Repeatedly. Sometimes you’ll even get multiple dick punches during the same day. But every week as you’re getting on the rollercoaster you think to yourself “I won’t get punched in the dick this week, no sir. I talked to the owner, and he’s reassured me that the dick punching feature has been removed.” And sometimes you’ll make it over the first hill without a dick punch so you think you’re a pretty smart guy. Sometimes you’ll even make it 95% of the way through the rollercoaster without feeling that familiar crushing sensation on your callused phallus. But you’re never safe. As your little car rolls towards the end of the ride, you hear a noise. The wind seems to whisper, “Rise up, dipshit.” A tiny metal hand pops out and slams directly into your genitals. Again and again, it mashes your testicles. It doesn’t seem to ever stop. Mercy is a foreign language here; suffering the only dialect available. As you feel the whiskey you were drinking begin to make a return trip back up your throat, the last thought that flits through your grey matter before the familiar embrace of pain whites out all conscious function is “I bet next week when I ride this coaster, I won’t get punched in the dick.”

The Steelers went for it on 4th down twice yesterday, 4th and 4 and 4th and 5. Both were passes. Both were completed. Neither was a 1st down. They gained -2 and 3 yards respectively.

The Steelers have now completed 3 fourth down passes this year for a combined 0 yards and a 0% conversion rate. Going into Sunday, the other NFL teams had 36 completed 4th down passes and converted on 94% of them.

That's amazing.

Edit- ESPN stats go back 20 years, Roethlisberger is the first QB in that time to have multiple completed passes for negative yards in one season.

Wasn’t there a fog delay in the SkyDome in the 90s? I can hear the SportsCenter line in my head: “first fog delay in a DOME”

I’m an idiot, but how does lightning pose a risk to players or spectators in an domed stadium? Don’t all buildings of this size have lightning rods?

This is an all-time great uniform matchup

How big of a screwup was it to move the Raiders to Vegas and the Chargers to LA? Flipping those makes way more sense.

Nah ... the silver and black is a look made for Vegas, as is the Raiders outlaw rep
