  • Please place faith before Sporticus the sports god

    Ostermann is described as “a political scientist who studies state capacity, law and regulatory compliance,” but she has also placed much energy in recent years to promoting abortion and to denigrating those who oppose it.

  • Solid stuff.

    Great to have more ND content. But I still think the shamrock (or rather now The Independent) will be my first go to. But again. Great to keep content coming from all angles for those commutes.

Episode 81: Marcus Freeman, Micah Gilbert & Cam Williams
Q: What goes into the opener play call that CJ threw to Micah for the first big gain?
The team uses openers—about ten plays pre-planned by the coordinator, QB, and staff—to read one high vs. two high safety looks and exploit what the defense gives, with Micah's route positioning creating the needed space.
Episode 81: Marcus Freeman, Micah Gilbert & Cam Williams
Q: How does Micah Gilbert create separation on deep routes?
The coach explained that Micah squares up well, reads the safeties, and uses careful jab steps to create a clean window for the quarterback, while the line provides sustained protection so the ball can be placed accurately.

Q: Why is Epee considered more deliberate, and how does preparation influence the outcome?
Eszter Muhari explains Epee involves a longer preparation time with a larger target; preparation and planning are critical, but the actual touch can come from a shorter decisive moment.
