AQ Shipley

[cardsfanmd]

This feels like the Lyle Seindlein offseason. If we aren't happy when camp opens up...... AQ will be out there.

It reminds me of every offseason since the one after signing Mike Gruttadoria (sp?) lol.

Regarding Cole......

It has to be concerning that on the Underground podcast last summer they mentioned that AQ had clearly defeated Cole to become the starting Center. And that (IIRC) it wasn't that close because if it was, they would have gone with the cheaper & younger option.

Coming off an ACL repair, and still soundly beating your younger competition after he started all 16 games the year before (in his absence) seems slightly alarming to me if the plan is to hand over the center duties to Mason Cole.

This is my concern too. I hate going cheap or risky with the guy that's supposed to be trusted to hand the ball off to our QB.

MAX GARCIA

Garcia originally attended the University of Maryland before transferring to the University of Florida. He redshirted in 2012 due to NCAA transfer rules and started 12 games at left tackle for Maryland in 2011. Garcia started 37-of-39 games played at the University of Florida and the University of Maryland, earning starts at left tackle, left guard and centre. He was voted second-team All-Southeastern Conference as a senior at Florida after starting all 13 games at centre for the Gators following an offseason transition from left tackle and left guard. Garcia graded out to more than 97 per cent in his 757 snaps played, and was on the Rimington Trophy (nation’s top centre) watch list. He was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week on two occasions. Garcia started all 12 games and saw action at both left tackle and left guard in his first year competing with the Gators, and anchored the offensive line after being the only starter to not miss time due to injury.

Good article except for the fact that Brits & Canadians continue to spell centre wrong. [emoji6]

I thought I read they were really close but went with Shipley due to him being more experienced & having a rookie QB.

And tell me why Americans use the French spelling for "defense" instead of proper English, "defence"?.

Funny story... We used to have an old neighbor from the UK named Lawrence that liked to chat it up while walking his dog. My wife says to him one evening, “Wow Lawrence, what a lovely accent. What part of England are you from?” And he says without missing a beat, “It’s you chaps who have the accent.” Touché

That's the way I remember it too. But one would hope another year later he's gotten stronger and better learning from Shipley.

We invented football and rugby and somehow you managed to confuse the two when naming your regional sport.

Chinese are credited with inventing soccer (along with pretty much everything else) as far back as 2500 BC. The Greeks and Egyptians are also in the discussion.

Pre-Columbus, Aztecs, Incas, etc played a game that was a mix of modern basketball and soccer. The most interesting part, however, is the fact that if a particular game had a religious purpose, the winning team were decapitated and offered as a sacrifice and this was considered a great honor. Geezz, wonder if they got the first round draft choice for losing the most heads in a season?

In the original Jamestown settlement in 1620, Native Americans played a game called pasuckuakohowog meaning, "they gather to play ball with the foot." Beaches, a half-mile wide with goals 1 mile apart, served as playing fields for as many as 1000 people at a time. Games were often rough, resulting in broken bones, but no one could be identified because players disguised themselves with ornaments and war paint making retaliation close to impossible. It was common for games to be carried over from one day to the next with a feast for all at the conclusion of the match. Now that might be a good name for the Washington Football Team, the Washington Pasuckuakohowogs. They would be a politically correct 'Redskins.'

Why did you post this?

He’s starting now as they moved their center to guard.

Maybe as an interesting interlude to that discussion of the invention of football as it might pertain to the origins other sports from a cultural and historical perspective

That was in response to posts that discussed the origin of football (soccer). Posts #63 and #64
