Lately I've been getting harassed for every single on topic comment I make. And bitches like leodisflowers specifically wait until I make an on topic comment so that they can disparage it. And then you timnsun feel the need to pile on for some reason. That pattern has been very common lately. I haven't even posted a whole lot lately. I'd like for nothing more coming back from a break or during the off-season than to start with a clean slate. I have no ire against you. I'd have no ire against leodisflowers if he just stopped responding to and disparaging my posts. If you feel I'm mean to you, it's probably as a response to me being attacked and you joining in that attack. I have zero desire to be mean to anyone.
4 star RB N!! Jamarion Parker

Naming posters by name and remembering how they have replied to you in the past is sort of the textbook definition of holding a grudge.
I don't remember things like when you called me out for saying Borders was from Georgia, but was from Fla. LOL
To the best of my knowledge, you haven’t made any bold comments about not holding grudges. I am not too big to admit that I hold grudges ha ha ha ha
When you get constant and unrelenting harassment on every one of your posts, you tend to remember that. On the other hand, I remember interactions with @BleedRed78 and they've been nothing but positive. Dude is just a good dude and treats everyone well.

The question I ask my wife, and other family members, when they get massively upset about something someone may have said is, “Why do you spend so much time, effort, and emotion with a person who has virtually ZERO influence in your life?”
Go ahead and bitch & moan in the moment —- but let it go. It only creates long term bitterness about everything.

Please God, let Fall ball start soon.
I hold grudges bigtime in my personal life, but on this forum, its easier to just put someone in the Ignore hopper.
My son is a huge advocate of forgiveness, and I'm not.
It's likely the right thing to do, and so far I am 1 for 3 in that category.
Remember when this conversation was about a 4-star RB.
I thought I already had you in my Ignore Hopper.
I can agree with that. I guess imo our OL is gonna have to be much better next year for him to be an effective runner. Those huge holes were few and far in between last year. While most occurred due to the threat of the QB run game. It'll be interesting for sure.

I'm not sure the majority of the fans had the same thoughts as you. Most from what I've read or heard seen that 4 star top 100 HS rating, from Oregon, 3k rushing in HS and IMMEDIATELY thought "We have our guy". I was hesitant because most of his HS tape was just downhill hitting and open hole and running straight. Not a lot of other skills displayed. Then I watched spring game and it looked pretty similar.
I think he will be fine as long as he has a hole. But if it's stuffed I don't see him "creating " much at all.

I'm giving some credibility to Rhule saying "he showed us something in the scrimmage we haven't seen in practice". I thought he ran violently ln some of his runs. I'm more optimistic about his ability to contribute than you I guess.
Are you available to come speak to one or 2 of my employees? 1 is a woman and you have your work cut out for you, sir.
Do you remember what Rhule said about Jeff Sims prior to the start of last season?
QB and RB are two entirely different animals. That said, I don't think the guy will be the starter or maybe even 2nd on the depth chart. As I stated earlier, I'm hopeful he can be a big short yardage thumper and contribute. That's all. We need a guy who can get a tough couple of yards and at least at times in the scrimmage he looked like he can be that guy.
except he can't really be Jeff Sims. IF he plays much he's likely to get less than 7-8 touches per game and he's unlikely to throw an INT. We aren't stuck with him as the starter and he was never looked at as the whole answer. He's a piece and has always been a piece and anybody thinking Dowdell was going to be the day one starter wasn't dealing with reality. Rhule kind of gave him a backhanded compliment by saying "he showed what we hadn't seen in practice". It's a widely different situation.
Don’t you think that us having a competent pass threat will more than make up for lack of QB run this year? Teams stacked the box on us because they had zero respect for our ability to complete a downfield throw. I don’t think they will get away with that this year. My hope is that will open up the run game. It’s a lot easier to block 7 in the box than 9 or 10.
You have become significantly more hostile since the Gebbia transfer.
Egalitarians are notorious for their inability to cope, which explains a lot about Mr. Jar.
in theory, yes.
however, we will start against stacked boxes and will have to prove we have a competent pass threat for defenses to adjust to it, not the other way around.
here's where Satt-led offenses have finished nationally in passing while he was OC:
'13 Temple - 49th
'14 Temple - 89th
'15 Temple - 72nd
'21 So. Car. - 75th
'22 So. Car. - 40th
4 of those 5 years he was working with NFL QBs, the exception being '21.
I'm not sure any grace will be given to our passing offense. it will have to be earned by the QB, the OL, the WRs and the playcaller - each as unproven as the next.
Satterfield has a lot to prove. Hopefully, he will improve on those statistics.
the Satt/Rhule OC/HC marriage has been most successful when predicated on a downhill, power running game.
if we're banking on a consistent, efficient passing game opening up the ground game instead of the other way around, we are in for some growing pains (putting it lightly).
we have to be able to gain chunks in the running game against stacked boxes and make defenses pay with play action. it's the only way our current arrangement will work, and that's by design.
I don't think we need to be a top 50 passing offense to produce a meaningful W-L record. I do think we need to be a top 50 rushing offense, however. otherwise we will be grasping at outliers.
'13 Temple - 82nd rush offense - 149 ypg
'14 Temple - 118th - 107 ypg
'15 Temple - 96th - 149 ypg
In those 3 seasons they had one 1000 yard rusher. 2015 - Jahad Thomas 1262 yards.
Do you have any studies that actually back that up or are you just throwing shit at the wall again?
in Satt/Rhule's best year as a HC/OC tandem ('15 Temple), they finished 97th in total offense
so maybe none of it matters and the defense/kicking game is the most important factor
