AkronsWitness Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) On 8/11/2022 at 10:45 AM, AkronsWitness said: The overuse by every broadcaster to refer to all CBs that make a good play as [Last Name] Island. That was Revis' nickname and does not apply to every single CB in the league that plays well for a game. Its not an adjective, its a players nickname. While we are on the subject of hijacking nicknames...... I will also say the countless DBs who say 'No Fly Zone' while describing their secondary or use it as a taunt to WRs. That was the 2015 Broncos defenses nickname, its not a timeshare that everyone gets to use. Ive heard 10+ post game interviews where the player getting interviews says "its a No Fly Zone against us man' and it makes me cringe every single time. Quit jacking nicknames Oh look!!!

STOP To be fair I've heard 'No Fly Zone' used before on college teams piror to 2015 although none as good as '15 Broncos. You also gotta remember when most think about those Broncos they usually recall Miller and Ware and the rest of that insane pass rush.

Yeah, "No Fly Zone" has been thrown around a ton throughout history. The Broncos were just the team to kind of embrace it and do something with it. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/357051-new-york-jets-develop-no-fly-zone-via-trade https://arizonasports.com/story/501275/tyrann-mathieu-cards-no-fly-zone-still-effect/ https://saturdayblitz.com/2014/09/06/meet-prospects-michigan-state-fly-zone/ Not a team nickname, just more indication of it being a phrase used prior to the '15 Broncos: https://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2013/05/overtown-optimist-brandon-harris-no-fly-zone-football-camp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 in 2017 Kevin zeitler signed an extremely rich contract with the Browns, the most ever for a guard at the time. He said he came to cleveland for Hue Jackson his former OC- Jackson went 1-15 I wish Free Agents are not allowed ot say the truth- I am here because I am getting millions more than they offered me in Cincinatti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancerman Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 "defense wins championships". No complete teams win championships. It's just more notable that lopsided offensive heavy teams end up dissapointing in the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find almost any of the player motivational style speeches to be cringe. It's even worse when you're playing, and you always have teammates trying to copy what they see on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
