I was thinking for more than a play or two. It was pretty calm from what I could tell the majority of the game, or maybe that was because they kept panning over to the Vols sideline and showing how they were on the Hype train.

What part of this

Is hard not to do? Read what I posted as the topic. Not your thoughts on the move BUT WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVENTS MOVED TO.

The whole thing is moot because the Police Union of NC already said the law is unenforceable. If someone wants to go in the bathroom of their choice there literally is nothing stopping them.

Can we say safety issue?? How are we to distinguish between a true transgender and a predator? How would you feel about a grown man being in the bathroom or shower with your daughter? Sure the bill should not allow someone to be fired or denied service based on beliefs/gender identity but I will put my children before being politically correct any day! Sorry if someone gets their feeling hurt using the bathroom based on PHYSICAL Gender. Delete this if you want down vote etc but those are my feelings on the subject.

One target may be a bit of a misnomer. Often it is one read between two receivers. However, a vast majority of the routes are one read and then it is a scramble drill. It was that way with Memphis too.

Evans spent most of the first game overthrowing our deep threats and if you rematch the first attempted deep ball, I can assure you, he has the arm to stretch the field vertically. The accuracy, is yet to be seen.

You are correct. There are many reasons kits do not get submitted but unfortunately there are situations where kits should have been tested but never were.

This conversation is starting to be too much like an extension of work so I'm going to bow out. If anyone wants more information about rape kit backlogs nationally and where you live I would direct you to http://www.endthebacklog.org.

The lab systems will always be overwhelmed. Some labs volunteered to participate in econ studies to see how they were doing compared to all the labs that were participating. It was data that could be used to lobby for funding for specific changes (i.e. new employees, instrumentation, etc.)

I interned at the VA lab in Roanoke. Love those people. If it wasn't for them I probably would not be in the field.

I've heard the talk that there's only one target in Fuente's pass plays, but that seems really implausible to me. If we're talking about a run/pass option play, then sure, I can buy one target. But there's no way a modern offense runs a designed passing play that only has one option for the quarterback. What if it blows the fuck up?

Also, we saw Evans check down against Tennessee, so doesn't that negate the idea of a single target?

I'm conflicted on that. We might have pulled it off with Beamer and Lefty. There probably wouldn't have been the panic from the offense when things started to sputter. Indeed, things might not have started to sputter at all, with everyone in year four of Lefty's offense. And Lefty certainly had the ability to gameplay to beat a highly ranked team.

However, I also don't know that either Brenden Motley or Josh Jackson would have had the ability to run a drop-back passing offense against Tennessee's defense. Remember, Evans is not here without Fuente.

And win or lose under Beamer, one thing I'm certain of is proceeding to go 7-5 again (at best) with Beamer.

I hope Fuente gives the team some serious heck for the penalties and fumbles, but I hope he really builds them back up by pointing out all the positives, all the promise, all the potential. The team shouldn't be down on themselves after this game. They should be telling each other, "let's clean this stuff up, go execute play by play, and win a lot of football games."

I feel good about this season. We have the fewest weaknesses we've had in several years, and a lot of talent. If we can improve the linebacker play, the interior OL play, clean up some open field tackling and perimeter blocking techniques. We felt like we were close the last couple years with Lefty, but we're much closer now.

I'm looking forward to a solid win against BC!

And French, that was a great review, thank you.
