So I was bored at work and decided to click on the profile of every CB on ESPN's list of CBs in the NFL.
None of them looked stereo-typically white, but there were a few that probably had at least 1 white parent. I'm guessing the census uses self-reported data for things like race, and the players just put whatever they want.

What I've never understood is why the DL is almost always black while the OL is more often white. You'd think they're similar skills/bodies.

Ok, so I expected kickers and punters to be predominantly white for whatever reason, but why is every single long snapper in the league white?! :psyduck:

you don't, you don't, and you don't. Upper body strength is crucial for making an impact when you're still raw, once you can get into and stay in a solid three-point stance the legs become the priority.

Not a surprise but Pitta is officially out for the year and had his surgery yesterday. Pitta's great to have around but the team should be fine without him. He was the only set of reliable hands on the team for a bit which made him so valuable. He's an above average player so it's not like they won't feel the loss but it shouldn't be as bad as last year.

Juzscyck is going to be getting a lot more touches and there's going to be a lot more 3 WR sets. Basically Pitta died so Juzscyck and Marlon Brown may live.

Pierce should be back next week against Carolina, he's great to have but at this point I wanna see more Taliaferro running people the gently caress over

Bynes is cool and a great depth spot for ILB. He's extremely mediocre but if he ends up starting he won't kill your defense. Good run stopper just can't cover too well.

Also how has James Ihedigbo worked out for Detroit? Is he still fixed or does he suck again?

He was actually totally healthy before the hip injury last year. That said the only year he was the team's starter was 2012 as we had Todd Heap before that.

2012 he played a full season. 2011 was the year he leapfrogged Dickson for the starting spot (Dickson had a decent year in 2011, actually)

Ah, that sucks. He ended up being at least Pollard-levels last season as he was decent in the box. It was just nice to see an awful player start doing a halfway decent job.

The census has been updated, and now it lists 0 white CBs.

For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
FWIW - Greg Bedard just reported on 98.5 (the Pats radio station) that one of the reasons Mankins wouldn't restructure his contract to stay w/ the Pats is because he didn't want to play for Dave DeGuglielmo, the OL coach replacing Scar.

Also, apparently the last three offensive lines DeGuglielmo coached were in the bottom 5 of the league each year.

If you haven't been watching Pats games, Brady has been getting absolutely killed all season, and every member of the Pats o-line is in the bottom 10 of the league per PFF.

So they just continued using and reporting QBR until it is was accepted? Unless you really think Josh McCown was the best QB in the NFL last year, why talk about it?
Because why not, people still post PFF ratings when Ben Hartsock was their #1 TE. The intent was obviously more lolafceast than Total QBR rules.

Heh. Dave DeGuglielmo on then Jets RT Wayne Hunter...

quote:

"This guy is the starting right tackle," DeGuglielmo said in an interview with reporters today. "Until they tell me otherwise, until they ship him out of this building or until they shoot me dead in my office, that son-of-a-gun is going to be the starting right tackle. And he's going to play well."
He might be a downgrade from Scarnecchia.
