Califan007 The Constipated

Two of my favorite photographers are Roy DeCarava and Fan Ho. They have a talent for composition I only wish I could achieve.

A few of my own that I took...not sure if I posted these before. Oh well lol...

I recently discovered that "somberscapes" is an instagram genre of photography and that I had been taking a lot of photos of somberscapes without realizing it:

So is anyone still missing Simmie Cobbs?

Not funny in the sense that nobody wants to see someone get hurt like that, but from the absurdity of certain aspects of that clip. More eye-rolling than anything. 

Ah, gotcha...yeah, I took it literally lol...

I can't tell what is funnier.....after the guy gets pummeled, the rando smacking the pummelee's head calling him a "****ing dumb***" as he picks up his hat, or...

Why would anyone find that funny?

 What was up with the Skins trying to trade Josh Doctson last offseason?

 

Well, that might 'splain his desire to side with Cravens on twitter lol..

Worth mentioning again.

How about that Goal Line Stance ?

And the fact that it was completely engineered by 2 of our rookie draft picks.

 

I call the pair "Morecomb"

I call them "Morecolm"

*heh*

I have watched season one 3 times and I still find things in discussion groups that I have to go back and pay attention to. The tapestry of connected characters through time and the mystery of what the heck is going on in that town are incredible. Like the show says, "Everything is connected."

 

Cannot wait for season two.

 

I'm about to watch it again for the 2nd time for the exact reasons you just mentioned...keeping track of who is who and when is when and etc, etc, yadda yadda wasn't hard, but it required attention to be paid. While watching it the first time there were a few moments when I backtracked and watched an earlier scene in an earlier episode, and caught some stuff that made me smile and go "Oh, ****" lol...

Then they cut yo some people in what looked like some kind of top secret facility, and I was like peace out lol.

LOL...I think there was one moment that slightly reminded me of Stranger Things, when the high school students were in the woods late at night. Outside of that brief moment the rest of the show was a constant mind****, even when I could guess when certain things were gonna happen it still screwed with my head. And, holy stinkin' kumquats, there's one scene towards the end of season 1 that just shook me like a mf'er...

Dark is to Stranger Things as Lost is to Gilligan's Island lol. They both involve survivors on an island, but...

EDIT: also, I will say that the season 1 finale wasn't as good as the rest of the season. It was still good, but I wanted something, um, darker (no pun intended)...

I stopped watching because it felt too similar to Stranger Things

You must have stopped watching during the trailer lol...Dark is in no way, shape or form like Stanger Things.

Dark is like someone threw Lost, Twin Peaks, Donnie Darko, and Knotts Landing into a blender.

One analyst thinks Cowboys are the NFC team with the best chances of dethroning the Patriots dynasty.

🤣 ~ well they got one to think that way.

From that BTB article:

"Schein’s optimism in the 2019 Cowboys is one that is shared by many, especially the rising tide of Kellen Moore."

"Many" people think the Cowboys are the NFC team with the best chance of dethroning the Patriots...and the only thing they mention in connection to "many people" is the Cowboys' new OC...and the only person they mention showing optimism in their new OC is Dan Orlovsky lol.

I think they're extrapolating in order to fluff up the Cowboys to the fan base.

The problem with what you cite is it ignores targets. Doctson was targeted frequently and dropped a ton of balls. 

 

Cooley broke down his targets last year and his catch rate was well below league average. I don’t know those others WR’s drop rate, but I doubt it was anywhere near as bad as Doctson’s.

 

Docston is a number 4 WR who should be heavily featured in red zone, because he’s a jump ball player. He’s not a good route runner and he’s not physical. He may fill the red zone roll nicely for another team, but for a first round pick he is a bust.

Edit-

Look it up yourself; it’s not even close.

I'm not sure what Marvin Harrison has to do with my post lol...

But we shouldn't confuse catch rate with drop rate.

According to this--

https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/stats?season=2018&week=100&category=RECEIVING&opp=0&sort=11&qualified=1&sortOrder=0&page=1

--Dotson had 3 drops in 78 targets last year for a 3.8% drop rate. You'll notice a lot of talented WRs on that list with a higher drop rate.

I also remember a stat tweeted a year ago or so about something like 45% of the passes thrown Doctson's way in 2017 were accurate, and that he was the only WR in the NFL with an accurate pass percentage below 50%.

I'm so confused as to why we are talking about Doctson in this thread. Argue about that bum in his thread. 

All Redskins WRs will be brought up on all threads about Redskins WRs lol...

Which receivers have blossomed in year 4+ after sucking as bad as Docston has  his first 3 years?

 

I always hear that WRs take time to develop but most good ones I know make a splash from day one. At least recent memory.

It wouldn't be accurate to compare Doctson's first year to other WRs' first years since he was on IR for 95% of his rookie season. So counting his first two seasons where he actually played, a few WRs who blossomed in their 4th year after starting off with two years similar to Doctson's first 2 years on the field were Reggie Wayne and Jordy Nelson.

First two years:

Games played - Doctson (31), Wayne (29), Nelson (29)

Receptions - Doctson (79), Wayne (76), Nelson (55)

Yards - Doctson (1,034), Wayne (1,061), Nelson (686)

Yards per reception - Doctson (13.09), Wayne (13.96), Nelson (12.47)

TDs - Doctson (8), Wayne (4), Nelson (4)

Wayne's 4th year stats:

Receptions - 77

Yards - 1,210

Yards per reception - 15.71

TDs - 12

Nelson's 4th year stats:

Receptions - 68

Yards - 1,263

Yards per reception - 18.60

TDs - 15

Of course there's at least one noticeable difference between those two WRs and Doctson--the QBs throwing them the ball over their first two years on the field:

Wayne - Peyton Manning

Nelson - Aaron Rodgers

Docston- Kirk Cousins, Alex Smith, Colt McCoy, Mark Sanchez, Josh Johnson

Ahh, those were the days lol....after this half the board thought we found our diamond in the rough.

The women power moment would have been better to me if they weren’t lining up to protect Captain Marvel as if she needed it. That was my only issue with that. All of them gathering was otherwise awesome 

Seriously lol... when Peter said what he said to her, I thought "Did you NOT see what she just did there a minute ago????"

Saw it, loved it, rewatched it. 👍 👍

Doctson had a good season last year even with our QB situation last year. It would be stupid to let him go this year. See how he does with Keenum or Haskins first. 

Not to mention they get nothing in return if they cut him, but if they keep him and then lose him to free agency next season they at least get a comp pick out of it.
