Re: Browns GM Andrew Berry: ‘No rule against extending’ Deshaun Watson’s contract; QB battle is performance-based PitDAWG 04/28/26 08:13 PM
I think him having already been a starting QB that worked in an O where he has already worked well in the run/pass option would make this an easy transition for him. As a senior he rushed for 777 yards and eight touchdowns on 139 carries.

Based on his 2025 season at Arkansas and his performance at the 2026 Senior Bowl, Taylen Green is a dual-threat quarterback who frequently operates out of RPO (Run-Pass Option) and read-option sets, utilizing his 6'6" frame and elite speed.

I don't think there needs to be a big cause for alarm in thinking Monken needs to slow walk this.

I think in order to make something like this work, the offense first has to establish an identity, and then you can start adding chunks of plays off of a subset of looks.

Ex. Jacoby Brissett and the QB sneaks. We still had a strong Oline and he was really good at executing that play. Then KS added wrinkles to it. I think this is how we build a subset of plays for Green (slowly).

WR's aren't a legitimate threat to run or pass equally from the pocket. Your options are far more limited than having a QB in there who can be a legitimate threat to do both. In Monken's first year here they drafted him and gave him an option we didn't see them give Stefanski. I won't try predict or try to guess what Stefanski would have done with such a tool at his disposal but at the same time I'm not going to point the finger at him because he never had such an option. But I am quite convinced that won't prevent others from doing so.

I have seen quite a bit through research but did not see a thing about snorkling.

That would be very cool. I know you can see active volcanoes and I knew about the tectonic plates.

But hey thanks. Sometimes people discover things that don't show up from Google searches.

The difference to me is more the coach.

If you run the same play everytime one player is on the filed it's predictable
If you run multiple plays then it is no different than using any other substitution

Exactly Pit..

You can build a short yardage/red zone scheme based on what Green can do. It won't be 1 or 2 plays, it will be a scheme with 10-15 plays built around the look the defense gives you. Now, given a defense each week, there might only be 4-5 of those plays that will be practiced against their particular defense set. THEN, you take those 5 plays inserted for that weekly game plan and it automatically turns into 10 plays by inverting the alignment.

Nothing is TOO vanilla in the NFL. Monken will be able to hide what he is doing with the limited number of plays schemed to Green.

It's why this type of scheming can work a lot better than the wildcat.

Re: DOJ charges Southern Poverty Law Center with fraud over secret funding of extremist groups PitDAWG 04/28/26 06:01 PM
SPLC Warned Law Enforcement About Las Vegas Terror Plan, New Motions Say

Newly filed motions seek to determine what grand jurors were told by Trump administration prior to indictment of Southern Poverty Law Center.

Attorneys for the Southern Poverty Law Center fired back against the Trump administration Tuesday in a pair of filings that accuse prosecutors of ignoring critical evidence in its indictment of the civil rights organization, perhaps even misleading grand jurors who approved the charges.

In the filings, SPLC lawyers argue that the group helped thwart a potential terrorist attack in Las Vegas in 2019 and tried to warn law enforcement before the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in 2017.

Defense attorneys are asking the court to unseal transcripts of grand jury proceedings to determine what grand jurors were told. The motions also ask for an order requiring Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to retract statements he made on Fox News and prohibiting Trump administration officials from continuing to wage a pre-trial PR campaign against the group.

“This prosecution is as unprecedented as it is irregular,” SPLC lawyers argue in one of the two motions. “Comments made by Administration officials and flaws in the indictment itself suggest the case results from misleading both the public and the grand jury that voted on the charges.”

‘Unite the Right’ warnings

As part of its efforts to prosecute the SPLC in the court of public opinion, Trump administration officials have accused the group of orchestrating the deadly “Unite the Right” rally.

President Trump himself has called the event “fake.”

Those accusations regarding Charlottesville are not contained in the indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama.

The indictment accuses the SPLC of fraud and money laundering in how it conducted an intelligence-gathering operation to dig up potential dirt on violent right-wing extremists.

Blanche told Fox News he had no evidence that SPLC ever shared information from those undercover sources with law enforcement.

In fact, defense lawyers insist that prosecutors knew that “the SPLC used the informant program to gather voluminous and detailed information about the risk of violence at Charlottesville.”

Here’s what the motion says about that effort.

“That information was memorialized and provided to law enforcement, including to the FBI’s Mobile, Alabama office—the very office leading the investigation of this case—in advance of the rally in the form of a 45-page “Event Alert.” That document warned the FBI of the specific individuals likely to attend the rally and foment violence, providing not only names and pictures, but specific details about associates, backgrounds, and criminal histories. For some of the individuals identified in this Event Alert, the SPLC even provided details about those individuals’ weapons of choice based on intelligence gathered through the informant program.”

While the Trump administration has argued the purpose of the informant program was to “manufacture racism,” defense attorneys say prosecutors ignored evidence that the SPLC shared intelligence with law enforcement “to thwart, stop, or otherwise help dismantle the activities of those racist groups.”

Individuals A and B

That motion identifies a person known as Individual A, a member of the extremist group Vanguard America who sought a security clearance as part of his work at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 2018. According to that filing, SPLC passed along information from one of its inside sources. Federal prosecutors charged Individual A, who was convicted and sent to prison.

In 2019, SPLC warned law enforcement that “Individual B, a member of white supremacist extremist group Atomwaffen Division, intended to engage in a major terrorist attack against Las Vegas citizens,” defense attorneys say.

That motion continues:

“The press release issued later by the Department of Justice detailed Individual B’s planned violence: [Individual B] admitted that, during online conversations between May 2019 and July 15, 2019, he discussed setting fire to a Las Vegas synagogue, and making Molotov cocktails and improvised explosive devices. Individual B further admitted that he conducted surveillance on a bar that he believed catered to the LGBTQ community, located on Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas, in preparation for a potential attack. The complaint filed by the government against Individual B, signed under oath by an FBI Special Agent, detailed specifically just how close Individual B got to executing a mass terror attack….”

Individual B, according to the motion, was charged, pled guilty and sentenced.

“The Department of Justice is well aware that the SPLC provided helpful information, through the use of its confidential informants, to law enforcement,” defense attorneys argue. “The Department of Justice also knows that these confidential informants helped law enforcement put violent extremists in jail.”

Magistrate Judge Kelly Fitzgerald Pate gave the government until May 5th to file a response.

Justice Department indicts former FBI Director James Comey for a second time PitDAWG 04/28/26 05:45 PM
Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted a second time by Trump’s Justice Department, two sources familiar told CNN.

The specific charges were not immediately clear.

President Donald Trump has long pressed for his political adversaries to face charges, including the former FBI director whom he believed to be a key player in the alleged effort to “weaponize” justice system against him.

In September of last year, the Justice Department first brought charges against Comey, accusing him of lying to Congress over leaks to the press. The case was dismissed late last year by a federal judge who found that the interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia had been improperly appointed, having skirted approval from the Senate.

Comey’s attorneys declined to comment for this story.

The effort appears to have been reinvigorated by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has picked up the pace in bringing cases that the president has publicly jockeyed for since he was tapped for the role.

The former director fell out of favor with Trump before he was first elected president, as Comey’s agency investigated the Trump campaign and ties to Russia. Comey was fired in the months after the inauguration.

Since his firing, Comey has become an ardent critic of Trump and key enemy of Republican’s in the White House and Capitol Hill.

Re: Cleveland Guardians 2.0 bonefish 04/28/26 03:25 PM
Because the game was televised in my market I got to watch the game last night.

I do not understand the bottom of the ninth.

When Manzardo singled why was he not pitch run for? It is a one run game bottom of the ninth.

You may want to steal to get into scoring position. You want to be able to score on a gap double or in the RF corner.

They get the double and Manzardo runs like fat Albert. He is stopped on third.

He doesn't score; they lose.

What was going through Vogt's mind?
