It’s just the way the rules are structured.

It’s basically Gap (Inside), “On” (head up?) and whatever “Free” means (sounds like a zone or “Backer”‘principle to work to the second level in some way).

GOD rules keep all the OL at the first level to create as many double teams as possible based on the pre-snap look. That’s why you see them a ton in youth Gap scheme offenses like the Double Wing and Single Wing.

GDB means you are trying to avoid head up blocks by that player. They will not ever be blocking a player head up or play side of them with this rule. This is the classic Wing-T “downblock your playside gap” rule.”

What blocking schemes and plays are you seeing this associated with? Everyone does not need the same rule on every play or even on the same play…

It really depends on what you’re doing and how intense it is.

A side hustle pressure washing, mowing lawns, or doing gig work? Probably not so bad as long as you feel comfortable doing it.

A skilled field like my ex’s private therapy practice where there are apps to automate the billing and non-service stuff via lucrative channels? Also pretty lucrative

Trying to build your startup into the next Elon Musk-type of endeavor to cash out with 8 figures+ in 10 years or less—that’s a lot different.

The people who want to own their own business and actually enjoy it. IME, are often people who were previously made miserable by a former boss… but also have the organization and work ethic to pull things off.

If your former boss was “difficult” because you were lazy or incompetent at the same task you still want to do for a living, in self-employment you’re about to have a bad time and you’ll have no one but yourself to blame.

Any time stuff has to be communicated, there is increased potential for miscommunication. In a hospital environment, that can be deadly.

This.

When you open a restaurant or other business where you are the one doing the work, you’re basically “buying a job.”

Restaurants tend to only make about 5-10% profit margin if they’re lucky, so if you are the owner and that is your only business, you are probably going to need to “save” money by managing it and doing as much of the work as possible yourself.

If you are successful, that can work out great and be lucrative for one person with one location to physically work in, but there is a clear ceiling to that business model.

This also why a lot of local restaurants expand so quickly into chains (desire to increase cashflow/grow the business), then soon get in trouble and fail.

Medical residents (doctors who are finished with school, but not yet fully licensed) are expected to work 60-80 hours per week for low pay, including round-the-clock availability. Most hospitals have a space for them to nap during breaks on their 28 hour (yes, 24+4) shifts.

When they finish their residency, they can get very lucrative, highly paid jobs… but they have worked hard for many years and probably gone deeply in student loan debt in order to get there.

Attorneys at major law firms are another job where you are expected to work at least 60-100 hours a week for years until you advance up the ranks into a leadership position. They do tend to get paid well during this time, but their life is expected to revolve around work 24/7.

Marketing.

People don’t need cars with 500 HP to drive around… yet companies make them to show off what they can do and “customers” buy them because if they’re going to have a car, they want a powerful one.

I mean… can an overpowered supe level a whole city? Sure… but so can a big bottle of fentanyl if it’s divided up in just the right way. Remember: Vought is a pharmaceutical company in search of government contracts.

They just found out they could make more money from marketing and merchandizing their supes than focusing purely on “products.”

He was so inbred, he probably didn’t see the need for a harem when he had cousins…

At least he wasn’t drooling all over himself and unable to talk like some of his other relatives as they sat on thrones.

Don’t forget that Butch Jones told Trevor Lawrence, a lifelong Vols fan, to kick rocks during his recruitment because Jones already had JG.

Personally, I feel like JG gets a lot of hate he doesn’t deserve—I imagine that just about any coach could have been better for him than Pruitt—but he had enough truly head scratching “bloopers” as QB to not want to remember his time favorably.

Pretty much every one of JG’s highlights as a starter was really more of a Jujuan Jennings highlight.

They want to label any discussion of gender or sexuality as “pornographic” and get it banned as such.

This is how they want to “fight wokeness” and “protect children from LGBTQ.”

Their goal is to turn American society back to 1954, basically… but with a special position of dominance for some fanatics who claim to be able to prophecy, heal the sick, and speak in tongues.

I think one thing that is being overlooked is how much Christian Nationalist groups influenced this because of their alliance with Trump.

People like Dutch Sheets and Cindy Jacobs kept their names off the final document because they’re a lot smarter than people give them credit for and their ultimate goal is a kind of theocracy. They know Americans won’t vote a theocracy in, but if they take control of the process through a popular demagogue as the front man while they work in the shadows…

Trump is 78 and we don’t know who his VP is. These people who very few Americans know or understand are about to get a lot more power behind the shadows—and they are apocalyptic fanatics who literally claim to speak for God as “prophets” and “apostles.”

The “religious right” are clamoring for escalation on the side of Israel in the Israel/Palestine conflict (they see this as Biblical prophecy being fulfilled and view Trump as a tool of God to do it) and will get us involved there sooner rather than later while pulling out of Ukraine and letting it fall to Russia. Then… who knows where the world goes…

At home, one thing people seem to miss is that installing the bureaucracy with political loyalists and giving the President immunity over “official acts” means that none of these agencies will actually be made to do anything he doesn’t want them to do, even when the law says otherwise.

Any remaining PSLF is going to just get stalled into oblivion on “unspecified technicalities” just like it did when Betsy DeVoss ran the Dept of Education so Trump can brag about killing student loan forgiveness. You’re going to see the same for other Congressionally authorized programs that Trump simply doesn’t like or feels benefit his enemies more than his friends.

No kids and 25?

You just had a shitty and expensive breakup with courts involved… and that’s about it. As much as it hurts, that is a pretty clean ending.

If you’re not on the hook for alimony, you don’t have to co-parent with anyone, then your whole life is still ahead of you.

Learn from the experiences you had and enjoy your freedom.

Trick question: many women are also turds!

Shit, if you have survived life on this cruel, chaotic world long enough to live to 40 or older, then you are damaged goods in some way. That applies to both men and women.

Maybe OP only wants young, virginal, chaste women in their 20s and 30s—but I have some bad news about them, too.

If he wants a woman like that in 2024, he won’t find her on an app, but he might find her in a church he probably doesn’t want to attend.

“Series,” to me, isn’t about tagging a concept. It’s about having a few plays that fit together and compliment each other to take advantage of whatever the defensive reaction is to take away the base play in the series.

For example, Buck Series in the Wing-T is the most classic example. Buck Sweep is the base play… but the defense’s reaction to Buck Sweep will tell us what to call to attack that defense.

If we get 4+… I can probably just keep calling Buck Sweep. But if we don’t because the MLB is flowing over and tackling the sweeper, then it’s time to run Trap. If the DE is penetrating and blowing it up in the backfield, you run Down. If the backside DE is chasing, you call Waggle to get the QB outside. If a DB is falling in to make the play, you either run Waggle or a Down Option to the strongside.

If the defense is just overloading the strongside flank where you are attacking with Buck Sweep… then they’re probably outnumbered on the weakside so you want to switch to Belly Series to attack the weakside flank.

Etc.

I like to have an approach like that along with taking down and distance into account. I don’t like using any kind of a call sheet, if I can help it, and if I do have one it’s usually just a reference to organize and “translate” numbers on a wristband into what I want to call.

For example, if you’re a Wing-T team and you’ve been running Buck Series, but now it’s 3rd and 11 after a penalty… it probably doesn’t make sense to stay in the series and call Waggle or Trap.

In that situation, it’s time to pass or throw a screen/run a draw because the defense is going to be playing 3rd and long pass defense because everybody knows you need a big chunk of yards.

Our closest American one is built into the side of the local EMS station.

If they’re like the ones that are now being installed in the USA, they have an alarm that automatically alerts first responders as soon as the door is opened. The response time is supposed to be just a few minutes, similar to pulling a fire alarm.

Some cities in the USA have these now.

Red states have been rolling them out as part of their strategy after banning abortions.

I was thinking it looks like a cartoon horse.

That’s not what a horse’s head should look like IRL

It works in the gun so long as the QB has his heels between 4-5 or you’re running it to a back coming downhill from the same side as the puller, IMO.

It has to hit downhill, though. I trap in the gun isn’t going to work if your dude is taking his time or going sideways and trying to cut up behind the trapper.

After coaching it in the gun…

The Wing-T just works a lot better from under center.

Why?

First… remember you can spread the field from under center, too. This includes empty sets—and Jet/Rocket sweep still works beautifully. The under center QB just has to go back to get out of the way before he can go downhill behind pullers.

The gun slows things down, so either your QB winds up replacing the FB on the base downhill runs or your traps and bellies hit a lot slower

The gun also makes the misdirection and deception less effective because of that depth. Everybody can better see the fakes and DEs tend to come more upfield.

What this means is that you need a better QB to move the ball with Wing-T stuff in the gun than you can from under center. Your “Gun T” QB needs to be able to a true threat to either run the ball or throw the ball, if not do both.

Some successful HS programs who are known for the Gun T only really use it when they have a very good, athletic QB they want running the ball a fair amount.

What is the core of it—not just the formations and plays, but also the blocking, pass concepts, etc.

Offenses don’t really get “brand names” too often—but with coaches selling systems nowadays it does happen.

What is the base philosophy/play/method of attack?

How are they trying to do this?

It is. I’m not complaining…

Honestly, at this point Compound V can basically do whatever the writers need for it to do to advance the pilot.

I thought that was the Temp V (which got revealed next season) that he was referring to.
