You’re very right but I love the helmets in a vacuum. But it might be better to do the same blue on black for the jersey. I don’t know if the Colts could do that though.

I’m saying have an A/C cart with an air hose that hooks up to the plane. I’ve seen them used in certain situations.

I’m surprised they don’t have a way to pump in A/C. Maybe they were too far from the gate.

Agreed completely, it’s a workaround that requires some sacrifices.

Technically you can use Shortcuts to set whatever icon you want but it takes some effort to set up. And I don’t think it can use transparency so it’d have to take up the whole square (or out more effort into making the background of the icon match your background). And it’ll take a second longer to load the app as it goes through Shortcuts first

Take solace in the fact that we’ll get a new candidate next election cycle. The trick will be convincing the democratic establishment that “not Trump” won’t work forever and they need to start putting forth candidates that actually get the voters excited.

I disagree. RBs more than almost any other position transition from college to the NFL pretty seemlessly. Injuries are pretty much the only risk.

And part of the point is you can sign a cheap veteran in the event of an injury and keep chugging along as long as the now injured RB wasn’t your entire offense. Also, a lot of teams already have a veteran on the team for these scenarios, it’s how Latavious Murray has been making his money the last few years.

Which brings me to your point about the Jets. They absolutely struggled when Hall went down, but it’s not because the RBs behind him weren’t good. They actually played pretty well, but the problem was their QB situation was so bad that their offense only functioned with an elite running game. So in that sense, an elite running back can be valuable to cover up serious deficiencies in the rest of your offense (that’s what the Titans have been doing for a while), but RBs are prone to injury, especially older RBs (which most of the “elite” RBs are). So the only reason to need an elite RB is if your offense sucks otherwise. And that just means that if that RB gets injured, which is very possible, your entire offense falls apart.

This is essentially why RBs are being devalued. You could spend $18m on an elite RB (essentially what Zeke Elliot was made before he was cut), or you could spend that on an elite TE or good OL and pick up a mediocre RB for way cheaper and have a much more stable offense. Then on top of that, you can spend a 2nd or 3rd on an RB who will have a pretty high floor and could end up being elite.

It makes sense as a strategy. Just sucks that it’ll essentially mean the end of RBs being household names.

I also saw a report that Barkley plans to hold out, at least through training camp.

I’m interested to see if these top backs can essentially collectively bargain to get RBs more money. But part of the problem is teams think they can get good enough production out of a mediocre back that paying too dollar for an elite RB isn’t worth it. So if they do hold out, we’ll get to test that theory.

And, like janitors, they usually go unrecognized for the help they give and heavily criticized for anything that’s not perfect.
