Jumbo Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 The last few weeks you've noted we have asked certain ES'ers to craft the OPs that lead off our official gameday discussion threads on individual units of the team as topics. They have done a fantastic job.!!! And we often are trying things with such folks at the "last minute" as our own schedules are usually crammed with life-plus-ES stuff. These members have performed admirably with little notice, and having been given a challenging task to make an OP relevant to the week, the topic (like OL, DL, QB, etc.), and yet leave it open enough for the varied themes that come up in conversation and examination related to that unit. This week is the same and the process is underway today. Feel free to post your comments (and hopefully appreciation to your fellows) in here and please make sure you check your PMs in case you're a member we are trying to conact! If you are a member who has done one (or more) of these threads already, please post on your experience or just stop by to bask in your deserved ES fame and glory---you already know what the job pays. Same as we get. Thanks everyone! :helmet: :point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman21ST Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 It's actually pretty fun doing them, and it's given me an excuse to use when my wife wants me to do something (take out the trash, etc) to turn on the game and not turn away I've enjoyed doing them and focusing on a single position group.

LetThePointsSoar Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Nice work Hitman (and others). I particularly liked the Helu thread title (if I recall that was your work, but I'm too lazy to check since I'm on my phone ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieFlatline Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Thanks for the work and double kudos for the original idea. The board has been such a better place to visit even after a loss. It even seems to have controlled the often negative, repetitive posts during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Just wanted to pop in and express my appreciation to all of you guys. It gives us the necessary separated threads, but also a more lively and interactive OP. That can only be good for discussion, and its worked great so far. Excellent job! And thanks to the mods for taking community feedback to heart (or at least thinking along the same lines as many of us ) both in the creation of these game-day threads in the first place, and in their continued evolution. The added touch of having members, and usually long-time, respected members, add their own flavor to each thread was a stroke of genius! It really personalizes the game-day experience here, and continues to build on the "ES culture". Great to be a part of this place, and this is all an example of why!

HailGreen28 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 The combination of having select threads started on gameday, and the increased B2A policy, has improved the quality of threads here. (You guys need to keep the same policies even when we win. lol.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew_Fl Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Thanks to the guys who take their time to post some original thoughts to spark discussion. I don't usually post in those, but I enjoy reading them. Sure beats the board going to hell after a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Question about my threads...do you all like my drive-by-drive analysis of whatever group I'm covering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yes. They have done an awesome job - AND it's great to see the membership so intimately involved and supporting ES in maintaining structure and civility simultaneously! Well done.

Dallsux Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I just want to say thanks to the Mods & to the multiple members involved in creating the "new" gameday experience here on ES. It HAS been much nicer to circumnavigate thru thread titles that, not only make me laugh, but also, not seeing 13 "Rex sux" threads has been wonderful. And, you guys are doing a fantastic job at keeping it centered around the thread topic (or at least, from what I've seen in the threads I've visited). What a difference. Great job to everyone involved. :thumbsup: :notworthy Also, I'd like to add that I've seen vast improvement in the "self-policing" of many members here since this idea has been launched. People seem to be more aware of themselves & what they are posting. Great job folks. ---------- Post added December-4th-2011 at 02:49 AM ---------- Question about my threads...do you all like my drive-by-drive analysis of whatever group I'm covering? Yes.

LetThePointsSoar Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Jumbo- work proves to be difficult to focus on today. I know it's not QB or ST related, but the play calling has been excellent today IMO...so my thoughts would be, Official ES Playcalling Discussion: No Commitment Issues Here?!?

Jumbo Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Look at how all these guys n gals came through for us on ES again! I only had to cover on one topic!!! Yay!!! ---------- Post added December-4th-2011 at 11:44 AM ---------- Jumbo- work proves to be difficult to focus on today.

Up to and including this week, it would be in the HC/OC topic...but if things continue to go as they seem in that matter, it may get it's own thread or be split up. We'll see.

hail2skins Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Jumbo, not to be the proverbial turd in the punch bowl, but I liked the suggestion someone had a few weeks back where perhaps fewer threads are created just focusing on one unit (offense, defense, STs, maybe coaching as well). There were about 11 separate threads created on various positions and as of this morning the majority of them had single-digit replies. Maybe this game was just an anomaly and maybe a lot of folks just reserved their post-game comments for the game-day thread, but it seems like a few more improvements can be made.
