US doctrine dictates our military procurement, overwhelmingly strong AF/NAVY have proven capable of opening up air corridors where needed.

you may possibly be correct in your assumptions here abut phalanx/SM-2/6 performance, but the alternative is to not invest in these weapons systems.

88 just turns and walks away with his head down in shame. great stuff

if you honestly believe Mariota is only using one read on his pass plays then you are too dumb to be helped. And if his first read is wide open, is he not supposed to throw it there? So Marcus can’t read the field....He makes the RIGHT read and throw nearly every time. would you rather he ripped it downfield to his…
