I'm shaken emotionally and stressed by a movie in a way I haven't been shaken or stressed by a movie maybe ever. I just watched of I Had Legs I'd Kick You. I don't recommend watching it honestly and I don't know that finishing it was the right thing for me to do. Yes, the acting is high quality and done very well. Yes, this movie probably represents a somewhat accurate portrait of motherhood trauma, postpartum depression, and psychosis for a very small subset of people and mom's. Yes, I do think there can be sympathy to be gleaned from this movie for woman, mom's, and people in general who struggle with severe mental illness and brain health issues, like psychosis, delusions, depression, paranoia, etc. But this movie is so ****ing grim and hopeless. It's just an entire near two hours of despair, sadness, mind warping, whatever. This movie was stressful to watch. I don't know that I've ever come away feeling from a movie what this one brought out of me. I'm mostly serious in saying don't watch it.

Less than half the amount of sacks and QB pressure too.

Well that settles it. Years of science flushed down the drain. Many players "effected" because they're simply weak, not because they have damage to their brain. A guy who clearly didn't pay attention in college or go to class is right and ask the doctors, scientists, and medical researchers are wrong.

Channel 7 Sports Director Brad Galli is leaving the station after nearly 15 years there.

Payton Turner also had a blown ACL in the past, but I believe the may have been in HS or college ball. Missing last year due to iniury is no surprise though. Getting injured guys on the cheap is Brad's forte. My concern is not so much injuries, but that the guy often didn't even see the field in New Orleans. His snap counts, outside of the 2024 season, were incredibly low. He also certainly isn't much of a pass rusher with only 4 career sacks in 4 seasons. So how good is he really?

But teams attempted to throw the ball more on the Lions than they did run the ball and by quite a wide margin. The Lions defense faced 555 passing attempts and 446 rushing attempts. Part of this is because the league is a passing league. Part of it is also because of how pedestrian our pass rush was and middle of the road our secondary was at times.

This is what I can't understand. The NFL is a passing league. Every NFL team, except Baltimore, threw more than they ran and was above 50%+ in-terms of total plays that were passes. Why is an edge/DE allowed to be bad against the pass and getting to the QB but not bad against the run? Why does this coaching staff place so much value on stopping the run when every NFL team except one throws it more than they run it?

RIP Chuck Norris. He didn't die, he just elevated up. But before he did, he went to hell, gave Satan a roundhouse kick, and then headed up to the sky.

I can confirm Valenti said this, I cannot confirm if he is full of **** or not. I was listening yesterday when Valenti said it. He seemed to allude that he spoke to one of the Lions reporters/beat writers (my guess is Dave Birkett, maybe Justin Rogers) and that person told him that there are difference between Campbell and Holmes this offseason on roster construction and some of the moves that have been made thus far.

But yet every time the Lions do get a third down pass rushing role player they seem to move on from them quickly. Houston, Muhammad as examples of that. So it is a role in the league that at least some teams value and will pay for. It doesn't seem we are one of those. Once this organization figures out how one dimensional a player is, they seem to move on quickly.

As you said though Nate, it goes back to their organizational philosophy. They don't seem to want or value a 1 dimensional, pure pass rusher who can't play 3 downs. They also don't seem to like pure edge guys and want players that can slide along the line. They like the Josh Paschal types of the Al-Quadin Muhammad types.

But you could argue that a pass rusher will have a bigger impact when they do make a play. They could force a turnover, cause an incompletion with no gain, cause a significant loss of yardage, etc. So while a run stopper may get more plays overall, do they always make the bigger impact?

Why isn't the opposite valid though? Why does it only matter how someone is against the run? Among Edge defenders, where did Wonnum rank over the past two seasons against the pass? Where did he rank in-terms of total sacks, total hurries, pressure rate, time to get to the QB off the line once the ball is snapped? How did he compare in all these metrics as a pass rusher to Muhammad?

YES, you should. I didn't intend to visit Denmark when I last went to Europe. We had intended to travel to Austria (Vienna) and Germany (Berlin, Munich, and the Munich countryside) and we ended up in Copenhagen Denmark instead of Austria. Still went to Germany though. We LOVED Copenhagen and Denmark! Copenhagen has an amazing food scene, wonderful history, the kindest people you'll ever meet, and the cleanest, most reliable metro system you could ever ride on. Do yourself two favors if you go to Denmark and Copenhagen. One, go to a place call Beast Pizza and get their 7 course meal with the homemade burrata cheese (It's the yellow-ish butter-like looking lump in the last photo below) and then go to the Torvehallerne food market and get yourself a duck confit sandwich from the French sandwich maker there (assuming he's still got his shop). You won't be disappointed eating those either of things.

My ****ing word. If this is really true this is significant. Iran offered to give away all of its enriched uranium and the Trump Administration bombed them anyways.
