Where I come from, most forwards hang out with shooting guards.

You know that barber you go to that charges $30 for a haircut and and works by appointment only? That guy is actually your hairdresser. That place he calls a barbershop? It’s a salon.

Brian Dawkins was the first “Go get em!” safety. He was the first safety who would roam. He was the first safety who was a tactical advantage for the defense instead of a pass coverage liability. He was the first safety offensive coordinators worried about staying away from instead of attacking. He was the prototype…

So how do we define how he changed the position? This is a real ask.

This is a weird take (mainly the one you are agreeing with) - and I don’t mean whether Donnie Shell belongs in the Hall of Fame. Shell played Strong Safety in the 70's, while Dawkins played Free Safety in the 90's/Aughts, which are two hugely different positions - starting from the fact that a Free Safety’s primary…

I mean, I used INTs as context because the original person I responded to used INTs as context, but I’m sure it’s easier to make an attempt at a pithy comment than it is to try and add anything to the conversation or help me understand what you think about my take is incorrect.

I’ll openly cop to not having the same…

With Dawkins you have to look at tackles (895), forced fumbles (36!!!), and sacks (26) with Dawkins. Shell had zero forced fumbles, one sack, and tackles weren’t recorded at the time Shell played. If you combine Dawkins forced fumbles (36) and interceptions (31) they exceed Shell’s interceptions.

That your measure of a safety’s value is Interceptions says everything.

Dawkins basically transformed the safety position. Looking solely at ints is pretty short sighted. The reason not many safeties get in to the Hall is because they only have ints and no other stats.

Maybe, just maybe, everyone stops tryin to look at stats for agruments and considers the fact Dawkins’ man was covered so the QB never forced that ball to begin with. Besides Dawkins was also a run stuffer and used everywhere. Absolutely deserving of the Hall

I also hope that I am well thought of in my home town even after I help murder someone and destroy evidence. For all my faults- like that time I helped murder someone and destroy evidence- I feel like I have contributed a lot of positive speeches and tackles.

jesus fucking christ, is the concept of “rule of law” so difficult to grasp?

Don’t you dare lump Tien with Yamacha and Chiaotzu, Tien at least held off Buu for a minute and showed someone besides the Sayains and Piccolo was still training themselves.

Uh, most of them? As of like, this summer, there were only three guys in the whole league with one of those as part of their regular deal.

Bro you were an 8 seed 8 years ago and you tanked for the better part of a decade and you’re now GASPPP fighting for the 8th seed with an injury prone big man and a rookie that can drive but not shoot. I mean what they’re good at is entertaining basketball but your teams still dog shit and that’s in the EAST lmao. You…

Imagine how shitty you’d feel if you bought lower-bowl Clippers season tickets last June, then watched Chris Paul and now Griffin head out the door? The silver lining is that it probably happened to Bill Simmons.

MAYO IS GOOD*

There are times when I think the Saiyans were the worst thing to happen to Dragon Ball.

Russ Westbrook, god love him, bitches at the refs from tip off to buzzer, then he calls their home late at night and bitches to their wives. Carmelo has never missed a shot in his life where he didn’t feel he was fouled. Draymond Green is good at basketball and bad at life.
