There was 217 deaths in the 88 years before that. Obviously more are making the climb in the 2020s than in the 1920s. An interesting thing though that has occurred in the last decade… is the average age that die on Mount Everest. Before the last decade someone above 40 dying is seemingly more rare. In the last decade you have 60+ age group trying to climb Everest and dying. You even had an 82 year old that died! So because it has gotten sooooo accessible you have people that shouldn’t be climbing… climbing. A lot of cardiac arrest in these high aged individuals. Another aspect of all these people doing the climb is the amount of trash they're leaving behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Ryan Wood - The balance with using Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon together is not wearing them out over the long haul, Adam Stenavich says. He doesn't think playing them together would hurt the passing game: "Aaron Jones can stretch the field just as good as any receiver." Paul Bretl - I wondered if this was a reason we saw fewer 2 RB sets last year. Perhaps with Hill in Year 2 and that experience, he will have a larger workload, so even with more 2 RB sets, Jones & Dillon can still have snaps off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I've ever read about that agrees with what you just said - stopping to assist someone is just going to lead to two corpses on the mountain as opposed to just one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) ESPN just came out with its Top 100 CFB players for 2022 and every year I always look back just for fun to see which Packers made that list (what a difference an actual year of football makes lol). For 2021, two current Packers made the preseason top 100 list: No. 60 - Kingsley Enagbare No. 96 - Tyler Goodson Edited August 19, 2022 by packfanfb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 That list is always funny in retrospect. The 2021 UGA defense was one of the best we've ever seen in college football, and 2 Bulldog defenders made the list Tykee Smith at #41 and Jordan Davis at #87. Highest ranked Georgia player was JT Daniels who is terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 Ross Uglem - I don't think they feel this way, but I would treat Elgton Jenkins as a guard in 2022. Bakh, Tom, and Nijman can all play tackle. Let them play tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nijman is a LT only and Bakh probably starts the year on the PUP, they need him at RT and they have plenty of depth on the inside without him.

Also, Tom looks better at RT than Newman or Hanson look at RG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nijman is a LT only and Bakh probably starts the year on the PUP, they need him at RT and they have plenty of depth on the inside without him. I'm not sure I agree at all about Yosh being LT only. You want your top 5 out there, and that's who you're going to roll with. The only players that I'd say are cemented into their spots are Bakh (LT) and Josh Myers (C). Other than those two, you can move them around as the best fit. You've got Runyan (LG/RG), Newman (LG/RG/RT), Njiman (LT/RT), Jenkins (ALL), and Tom (ALL?) as your top 7 OL. Obviously, Bakh won't be ready Week 1 so you're probably going with Yosh there assuming Jenkins isn't ready to go. I could see a situation where the tackles are Jenkins/Yosh. I still can't see a situation where Tom starts unless both Jenkins AND Bakh aren't ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I don't want to get into this **** but I still don't perfectly understand the LT only. What's to stop a team from flipping LE/RE based on advantage. Isn't that 90% of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's to stop a team from flipping LE/RE based on advantage. Isn't that 90% of it? I agree it is mostly overplayed by fans who want to sound 'smart'! I'd say for oline, it's a bit more difficult than dline for sure. The movements in pass protection are the opposite of what you are used to. Let's face it, it's still not rocket science or splitting atoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The archetypical example would be Chad Clifton. The whole "right tackle is for run blocking, left tackle is for pass blocking" thing is obsolete though.

But why is that necessary on the right and not the left? Like okay he's not going to road grade on the right, okay, cool. He can't on the left either. Right? I think we're agreeing. Then it's like well the speed rush over the LT. Okay, get that guy to mirror and speed rush your dead footed RT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Was there some philosophy of sticking your TE on the end of the right side too, so that's where you might want to run too more often. IDK. I'm not an xs and os guy. I just like to make fun of stupid people with stupid opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
