Should we do the same??

I took one example, but you can also take the military. While nothing can stop injuries due to war, now the vast majority of retired military file lawsuits against the military to cover disabilities do to their service time, and regulations outside of combat have become much more stringent. My son served in the Army National guard and spent a year in combat overseas. He now receives a 20% disability for the rest of his life for back issues.
I’m sorry to hear about his back issues. Those aren’t something to mess with.

Thankful for his service.

I’m not gonna say it wasn’t targeting. I think targeting should be intentional and not just a bang bang play that happens. I think the defender was doing everything the game has taught him to do. Luck of his timing and height shouldn’t come into play. It was not “bad luck” to not get that call, but it would have been bad luck to get that call against you when I don’t believe the defender was doing anything wrong.

By rule maybe it was, but I don’t think it should be.
I have said all season no way that call should be targeting but by rule and how they have called it all season it absolutely was. We had a similar one go against us. But it should only be if intentional not if a player drops after the defender leaves his feet.

Not to burst your bubble but Texas defense prior to that game was ranked higher than the Penn St. defense. Having blocking isnt an excuse because that Boise team was set up just to block for Jeanty. I think what the game showed is he has telent to be an NFL runner, but hes not a 3 down back and unless you feed him 30 carries a game, he's not getting you meaningful yardage. I mean, we kind of knew that watching Boise all season, they had to feed him the ball to maintain his averages. Yes he broke a ton of huge runs, but against better teams especially late in the year, those runs were less and less.
Actually PSU allowed 10 fewer YPG for the season and Texas had fallen off the last 4 games allowing 27 yards more He was only the second back to get 100 vs PSU.

Guess we will see but every projection I see has him in the first round.

I like how you only addressed one of the occupations.

That being said, the football I liked is a thing of the past. It’s why I don’t watch it much anymore. UNLV and Steelers for me. I don’t even watch the Super Bowl or these CFP games.

It’s now a different game. Things change. I don’t have to like it but I’ve accepted it.

In the construction industry if a workers has injuries like that, then they will file lawsuits. I work in the industry and there are reason for OSHO and all the rules and regulations due to a past history of injuries without consequences. Most major injuries in the construction industry happen due to not following regulations. Now rules are being pushed into football to prevent permanent log term injuries. Maybe you want to go and play a sport with long term permanent disabilities, but most people feel totally different after the fact. Your thought process has a lot to do with the billions in damages that are now being paid to athletes for past injuries, and the number is only continuing to increase.

It’s a violent sport. Not that I don’t care about your friend but construction workers experience a variety of job-related ailments from their duties. As do the military. Boxing. MMA. The list goes on…

But they all know what can happen from their involvement in their various fields.

I hope your friend is ok.

When is CDM going to announce his coaching staff?

Before going to Temple, Scheier coached two seasons at Rutgers (2020-21) as the special teams coordinator. Under his guidance, the Scarlet Knights ranked seventh in the nation in the ESPN Special Teams Efficiency Ratings during his first season in 2020 and improved to No. 4 in 2021.

I’m happy with this
This is huge, our special teams won’t miss a beat.

What we need now is to get a good media contract. If we can get our contract done before the pac-o-worms it might help. I remember when the b12 got their contract done ahead of the original pac12 they really benefitted. Gloria, it's media contract time. Get us a good one.

I think the adds were pushed by media partners so we should see numbers quick.

On the other side, I have a friend who played on the line at Arizona State who is in his mid 50's and has had both knees replaced and has to walk with braces due to the number of times people took his knees out from under him before many of the current rules that no longer allow things like chop blocks!
