Stat + Pet Peeve
« on: October 04, 2016, 02:36:19 PM »
Carry On Johnson is averaging 103 yards per game.  No doubt if he stays healthy, he's the next 1,000 yard rusher, keeping the streak alive.  My gripe is quite trivial, but I've never understood the logic.

Sean White has 34 rushing attempts for 142 yards.  That's a little over 4 yards a carry and a pretty nice little weapon/wrinkle in your offense when the QB can occasionally take off.  But his actual net yardage is 57. Why?  Because they deduct the yardage for sacks. 

Okay, if Clifford Franklin lines up in the gun, takes the snap and tucks it like a Mildcat run, only goes 3 steps before a LB shoots the gap and gets him.  What is the result?  TFL (Tackle For Loss for the uninformed) for the defender and negative rushing yardage for the offense. 

If Clifford Franklin runs the same play, but this time immediately holds the ball like he's looking downfield to throw....LB plants him.  Result?  Sack for the defender and negative rushing yardage for the offense.

Clearly a pass play.  The line is pass blocking (Unless Jimbo Fisher studies old Auburn/Ole Miss footage sees you down field) and the defense gets credit for a sack because it was clearly a pass play.  But it comes off the rushing total? 

I am bewildered and bumfuzzled.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Well, obviously that they're not enforcing the halo rule on fair catches. Pay attention.

Grab some supermarket boiled peanuts. You're not yourself when you're hungry.

Sometimes good can be muddy. But a rusty can is ok if the time is right and things just aren't born of pure boredom. Like the appetizers for example. What a croc.

Experience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.

It has been that way forever. He also loses yardage on a kneel down.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Methinks White has spiked three balls counting against his completion percentage.

So there's that too.
