The lockdown feed for anyone looking on apple podcasts.
The podcast was good. @PhonyBennett @IAmBallHawk were great. Felt like we were on the same page for most of our outlooks. Armstrong performance was the only thing we differ on. But the more I think on that I wonder if some of his passing inaccuracy is the result of taking so many hits off designed runs. Makes it tough to get your legs under you when they are wobbly.

Hits didn’t play a role in his inability to consistently be accurate fam.

Remember the one hit that hurt him he was actually sliding. BA doesn’t get hit clean on his runs.

True I respect that wasn’t sure if the hits could have played a roll. I’ll admit he played better as the year went on. I think if he is put into the right position with the right playcalls he’ll make plays. Hope he’s given enough opportunities to do that.
All this talk is getting me fired up for football season. Needed something to get me going.

So am I Dragon. I’m going to come up for a game or 2 this year. Have they got any covid-19 restrictions in place?
Great pod guys! Just want to point out that the kicking game is vastly improved in accuracy and has consistently improvement in distances in the NFL over the last 20 years @PhonyBennett I’d bet college has followed a similar trend. We just remember the missed more than the makes.

Never trust a college kicker. Ask any gambler.

Call me immature, but the Mercer kicker who missed the final PAT for a 69-0 win is my hero.

Just dawned on me I predicted a 43-18 final score on the show with @IAmBallHawk and TCov, and I want to make sure I get credit for being half right.

Edit: Just realized this was one of their “premium” articles… It pretty much says he had a great time and loved hanging out with all of his HS teammates without thinking about being a 5-star… and they interviewed him direct as opposed to his mom!

I would read into this, but the coaches poll is notoriously awful and responsible for kneejerk reactions based off scores.

I always look at the bottom of the “Others Receiving Votes” in polls to understand the idiocy of polling in general. There are always those 1 and 2 votes that you wonder who voted that way.

Haha exactly there’s always some random team. So many coaches have admitted to not having a clue and only looking at the previous scores, or having assistants handling the polls.

I’m not sure barely squeaking past one of the 2 or three worst teams in the Power 5 merits a Top 25 vote, but good for Will Healy. It was probably Cutcliffe who voted for them.
