Rivercats eyeing Giants affiliation.
Cleveland—- The A's have enjoyed a terrific relationship with the Sacramento River Cats ever since the Triple-A club moved to California's capital in 2000. Among other things, the River Cats have won seven Pacific Coast League titles in that span, and they led minor-league baseball in attendance for eight years.

Can the Giants block the A's from moving a AAA team to San Jose?2. Joe Kehoskie Posted: May 19, 2014 at 07:50 PM (#4709811)
Yes.3. RMc (full name TBA) Posted: May 19, 2014 at 08:03 PM (#4709825)
Maybe just move the A's to Sacramento and be done with it?4. morineko Posted: May 19, 2014 at 09:32 PM (#4709863)
I foresee some musical player development contracts in AAA for the 2015 season. There is a metric crapload of expiring PDCs in both the IL and PCL at the end of this season. The Brewers' contract with Nashville is up and they're getting a new ballpark so that may be attractive to some teams.5. Justin T drives a crooked hoss Posted: May 19, 2014 at 09:46 PM (#4709870)
Someone's going to end up with the gag prize of the Las Vegas affiliation. It was the Mets the last time a load of PDCs expired.
Basically it's every two years that we have one of these shuffles, right?6. theboyqueen Posted: May 19, 2014 at 10:00 PM (#4709875)
Certainly looks like Sacramento intends to make a switch. And one wouldn't expect Wolff to throw them any bones to keep the status quo. But yeah, the A's should hope to get Fresno and not end up in a PCL launching pad.
IF the A's don't put up some kind of fight over this it's yet more evidence of their inept marketing (and this is a brilliant marketing move for the Giants). Sacramento is mostly Giants territory but there are a ton of A's fans up here and lots of kids are very attached to the Rivercats.7. TerpNats Posted: May 19, 2014 at 10:19 PM (#4709890)
We know the Mets would love to return to the IL, but where? Syracuse and the Nats are signed through '18, Rochester probably isn't interested in ditching the Twins and Buffalo was a Mets affiliate not so long ago and likely wants to stay with the Jays.8. Flynn Posted: May 20, 2014 at 06:10 AM (#4709972)
I feel bad for Fresno. That's been a good partnership on all fronts, and they've done nothing to lose the Giants. That said, the A's will likely be their consolation prize.9. Traderdave Posted: May 20, 2014 at 09:17 AM (#4710014)
But this feels rather damning. Sacramento being such Giants country that the local AAA team thinks they can make more money with the Giants is an indictment of how the A's have systematically bled fans for the last 20 years. Sactown was A's country.
While your broad point about the A's bumbling is (sadly) spot-on, I'm not so sure Sacto is no longer A's country. The A's have said many times over the years that a measurable portion of their attendance is from Sacramento. The record crowds at River Cats games are there to watch A's prospects, not Giants prospects.
I'm not flatly disagreeing with you, Flynn, but I suspect this is more a negotiating posture by the River Cats than it is a reflection of shifting Sacramento fandom.

'I've always loved wine!' Drew Barrymore plays a game of 'pinot pong' with Chelsea Handler
Drew Barrymore may have started a new trend.
The actress-turned-winemaker shared a sample of her vintage on The Chelsea Handler Show and ended up playing a hilarious version of a college drinking game on Tuesday night.
The two women started a new classed- up version of beer pong, swapping out beer for Barrymore's new vintage of pinot grigio and the standard red solo cups with elegant wine glasses.
Pinot and play: Drew Barrymore, who is now a winemaker, shared some of her vintage with Chelsea Handler on Tuesday, but made the talk show host work for it first
'Unlike my other guests who just bring alcohol and don't make me work for it, she said that I have to work for my Pinot Grigio and so, get up, I've never played this before,' Chelsea began.
'I haven't either,' Drew admitted with a smile.
The pair then walked over to a long table set up with rows of wine-filled glasses and proceeded to play a round of 'pinot pong.'
Enthusiast: Drew loves wine and she may have added Chelsea to the club after appearing on the late night talk show on Tuesday
Good shot: Chelsea's ping pong ball landed in Drew's glass, which meant that the actress had to guzzle it
Girls just want to have fun: Drew tossed back her wine with no trouble at all
They took turns tossing a white ping pong ball and Chelsea scored the first major coup when hers landed in one of Drew's glasses.
The new mother had no problem guzzling her pinot grigio in one long swallow.
Drew, who shares a home in Montecito, California with her husband Will Kopelman and their three-month-old daughter, Olive, declared that she became a winemaker because 'I've always loved wine, I mean, it's wine.'
Off the mark: Drew tried to shoot her ball into Chelsea's glass, but couldn't
So thirsty: Chelsea finally dropped one of her own balls into one of her own glasses, and then she gladly knocked back the wine
'I feel so elegant': Chelsea had the audience in stitches with her hilarious game-playing
The 37-year-old E.T. star tried to get one of her balls into Chelsea's glasses but missed everytime, quipping, 'I suck at this game.'
Chelsea, also 37, was obviously getting bored so she dropped one of her own ping pong balls into one of her own glasses, and then she drank the pale liquid in one swift toss.
'I can't even drink wine that fast,' Chelsea said with a grin, adding sarcastically: 'I feel so elegant.'
Trying new things: Drew said she's never played this game before, but she had so much fun she's surely to play it again
Honor: Drew created her Barrymore pinot grigio for her family; it was inspired by her travels through Italy
Delicious: Chelsea has certainly become a fan of the wine
Chelsea has made no secret of her fondness for vodka and tequila, but sipping wine is a new thing for her.
The outspoken talk show host - who wrote Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea - told Drew: 'I'm glad you picked a white wine because I feel like a dick whenever I drink red wine.'
Drew generously brought enough cases of her Barrymore wine so everyone in the audience could take home a free bottle.
Drew's Barrymore wine can be located through her website Barrymorewines.com. The star denotes a portion of the proceeds to charity.
Generous: Drew brought enough bottles of her Barrymore pinot grigio so that every member of the audience got to take one home

1999 Directed by Renny Harlin
On a remote former submarine refueling facility called Aquatica, a team of scientists are searching for a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Susan McAlester genetically engineers three Mako sharks, intending to increase their brain capacity so that they can harvest the tissue as a cure for Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, the increased brain capacity also makes the sharks smarter, faster, and more dangerous. Aquatica's financial backers are skeptical and nervous about the tests, and send a corporate executive to visit the facility.

Deep Blue Sea is a mess, but a deeply entertaining one (if you pardon my stupid pun)
Because it's a mess and because I'm lazy and tired, I'll just provide some thoughts and notes, instead of a proper review:
* First of all, Saffron Burrows. She's pretty and all that, but what a black hole of charisma she is in this movie. I don't think she emoted at all, even when she was in danger. I know, that she was supposed to be the cold, rational scientist, but she acted like she was the coldest cyborg ever built. Her dramatic performance is on par with Ashton Kutcher in The Butterfly Effect (this is not an compliment, as anyone can imagine).…
Part horror film, part action/adventure, part disaster movie, Renny Harlin's "Deep Blue Sea" is high-powered, multi-genre fun. Fast and full of crackling tension, the film is an exciting and full-bodied, pitting human versus nature in a battle of life and death. Harlin's most exhilarating outing, "Deep Blue Sea" is a relentlessly entertaining piece of work.
Yet another version of the "Frankenstein" myth, the film's narrative finds a group of scientists experimenting with shark's brains in order to find a cure for Alzheimer's. Of course, the scientists create monsters of the already-dangerous creatures, and all manner of Mako-generated mayhem breaks loose when the fish outgrow their captivity.
It is a compelling if recognizable story, and Harlin executes it with a ferocious…
Part of Dastardly Difficult December: film nr.65
One of my favourite words in the English language is the verb 'to guffaw'.
I don't guffaw often.
This film, with that one scene, made me guffaw repeatedly. Until it hurt.
It is because of that that it is one of my biggest guilty pleasures.
That and the super smart sharks.
And LL Cool J playing a chef.
And just, you know, stuff blowing up.
Little known fact: this was the motion picture that finally spurred the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to create the Golden Globe Award for Best Use of Stellan Skarsgård as an Underwater Projectile. It was also, unsurprisingly, the award's first winner.
1st hour: LL Cool J repeatedly threatens to kill a bird
2nd hour: God repeatedly threatens to kill LL Cool J
Happy Easter
I present to you the wonderful lyrics of LL Cool J's "Deepest Bluest" in its entirety.
Uh, my hat is like a shark's fin
[1] - Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
[Repeat 1 (5x)]
Manmade terror
Hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths
I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves
My world's deep blue
Killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but Barracudas ain't equal
To a half human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes baby they stare while you sleep
When your Titanic sinks I'm…
I used to watch this movie RELIGIOUSLY with my brother which is why I had to give it a 5 star rating. Also, they are trying to cure Alzheimer's... How can I not love it?! I used to find Thomas Jane so hot when I was younger.... when he swims with the 'tiger' shark I was like okay daddy 🙌🏼
Drinking game: take a shot every time Tom Jane falls on his ass and proceeds to do that "cool" slide over the slippery floor. You'll be completely shitfaced (or dead) when the credits start rolling.
Around 2000 it was known as 'The other shark movie' Never caught this the first time around. Never new it was directed by Renny Harlin. All I could think about while watching it was his aborted Aliens II. There's a scene in this film which resembles a ladder scene in Alien Resurection. Serviceable little action movie. Famous for its upredictable game of last man standing.
Bad 90s CGI and smart sharks who make dumb choices. When will they ever learn...
The Punisher takes on his most deadly for yet.... An 8000 pound mako shark hell bent on freedom.
Graphics don't hold up and it's ADR'd like crazy (apparently the set had a cricket problem), but still such fun!
i saw this movie a long time ago and i watched it until the end but it was a real disaster........no story at all. Why i kept watching it? I am fascinated with sharks!
0.5 stars just because they made it and probably had a lot of work with it.
Hmmm LL Cool J is a cook?
Another movie I loved during my teenage years that has lost a little of its magic after the most recent viewing.
+LL Cool J
+I liked the cast a lot.
+nice set pieces
+some unexpected stuff
+nice score
-too many slo-mo shots
-a bit stupid at times (helicopter scene/breaking glass scene)
-low on the horror front / not that scary
Although more action than horror this still serves its purpose and doesn't really get old.
Edit: I just remembered the "pissing against the wind" line and this definitely warrants an upgrade to 4 stars.
It seems like an excuse just barely good enough for justifying spending dozens of millions of dollars in a blatant Jaws/Jurassic Park/Alien rip-off, however the outcome is that kind of glorious studio product that appears to have no knowledge whatsoever of what any resemblance of an artistic vision is, and that's exactly why it succeeds. Even when shit still hasn't gone (literally) down in the beginning, the movie is already fun with its hilariously shameless effort in setting all the limitations for the action that's evidently about to happen. Sci-Fi-channel CGI, cute attempts at character development, wooden acting and LL Cool J also contribute a lot in the production's colossal entertainment value.

A new memoir of bad-ass parenting, Chinese style, from a self-proclaimed tiger mother has unleashed a ferocious roar.
Fallout was swift for Yale law professor Amy Chua after she published a stark essay in The Wall Street Journal exposing harsh words and heavy handed methods with her two teen daughters.
Her "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" shot to No. 6 in the Amazon sales rankings Tuesday, the day it was released, likely fueled by angry buzz over the weekend column and a headline Chua had nothing to do with: "Why Chinese Mothers are Superior."
Adult offspring of Asian and Asian American immigrants are weighing in on Chua's provocative description of Eastern-style parenting: No sleepovers or playdates. Grueling rote academics. Hours of piano and violin practice. Slurs like "lazy" and "garbage," and threats to burn stuffed animals when things don't go mom's way.
Some see truth and a borderline abuser. Others see dangerous stereotype with the potential to feed China haters and xenophobes. Still others publicly thanked their moms online for similar, though less extreme, methods.
Few had read the book themselves, missing out on more facetious nuances and details on Chua's journey to a softer approach with Sophia, 18, and Louisa, nicknamed Lulu and about to celebrate her 15th birthday with — gasp — a sleepover party.
"It's been tough on my kids," Chua said Wednesday. "They want to speak out over the thing that has hurt me the most, when people say, 'Oh, doesn't that kind of strict parenting produce meek robots?' My daughters could not be further from meek robots. They're confident, funny, kind, generous, with very big personalities, and they're always calling my bluff."
Chua, 48 and the daughter of Filipino immigrants of Chinese descent, insists her tone in the book is self-deprecating. It's a point she considers lost in the blogosphere, including heat from moms employing current Western philosophies she doesn't consider better or worse, but more lax and undisciplined.
"My first reaction was, 'Is this a joke?' I kept waiting for the punch line," said Frances Kai-Hwa Wang, 44, a second-generation Chinese American and mother of four in Ann Arbor, Mich. She had parents with high expectations but none of Chua's histrionics. "Her methods are so crude. The humiliations and the shaming. The kids will hear that voice in their heads for the rest of their lives."
Christine Lu's memories of her tiger mom growing up in Los Angeles are laden with sorrow. Mom's ramrod tactics failed on her ("life at home used to be horrible") but they worked on her older sister. She hit 28 and spiraled into a depression that led to her suicide after the startup where she worked fizzled.
"She graduated from Harvard with an MBA. That was the first time she had ever experienced failure," said the 34-year-old Lu, who was born in Taiwan and moved to LA with her parents and three siblings at age 2.
She stopped short of blaming her mom, adding: "It's the culture. Amy is a product of the culture, too."
It's a book of extreme parenting, for sure, a memoir and not a how-to manual, Chua cautions. Her parenting choices were conscious and reflect her upbringing: No TV, no pets, no computer games, no grades under A, no parts in school plays, no complaints about not having parts in school plays, no choice of extracurricular activities, nothing less than top spots in any school class except gym and drama, no musical instruments except piano or violin.
When Lulu had trouble with a tricky piece of music, Chua denied her bathroom breaks and threatened to ship off her dollhouse to the Salvation Army, piece by piece, until she got it right — which she did with pride, mom at her side.
When she pushed back at age 13, rejecting the violin, mom allowed for tennis instead, keeping a keen eye on her game.

The Best RPG Writing

Writing a narrative for a lengthy RPG is tricky. Not only do writers have to consider character development, realistic dialogue, and story progression, but they also have to make sure it complements the long-form gameplay. Storytelling has always been hit or miss for the role-playing genre, but writers...

With Royals having sold seven million copies and Lorde's debut album Pure Heroine reaching almost a million - eclipsing sales of all other music in New Zealand this year - we are witnessing popular culture history in the making and the rise of the "Empress of Anti-Pop".
OPINION: Lorde, aka Ella Yelich-O'Connor, is poised to revolutionise the established and artificially manufactured rules of youth pop culture, replacing them with something authentic and organic that could transform what kids are listening to.
You have only to look at Lorde to see her "difference" . . . the shock of hair, enveloping clothing, clod-hopper shoes, mystique and trance-like expression are not, in themselves, unique, but her "tell it like it is" attitude is.
Her cynical perspective on youth pop culture that resonates through her lyrics matches the anti-consumerist mood of millions of teenagers, their desperate yearning for authenticity and truth thoroughly misunderstood by rich music executives relentlessly pumping out sugary Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Demi Lovato hits that are enjoyed today and forgotten tomorrow.
It's not rocket science to identify why her success is linked with anti-consumption - the study of why people reject mainstream consumerism. Just look at Royals' lyrics: "But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your time piece. Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash. We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair."
The cynical framing of luxury brands rings true with research that has shown that once people attain a certain level of consumption, additional consumption no longer contributes anything to happiness; instead it is the rejection of consumption and pursuit of simplification that allows people to feel authenticated and fulfilled.
Pop culture implicitly, and more often than not explicitly, tells kids to drink more, be sexier, have perfect skin and a perfect body, be more glamorous, pimp your ride, twerk your butt, strut your stuff, writhe around, look fierce, have more swagger, wear more bling or hang naked from a wrecking ball. But what makes Lorde stand out is how she says "Hang on, get real, this isn't what it's really about for us". And that is where her "anti-pop" status has such appeal.
Lorde's rise to stardom fits with this as well. It's been alternative, going from an underground sensation through 60,000 free releases of her hit album online to her very clever marketing team. She explained earlier this year that the free release of her album was because her audience were teens who didn't have credit cards or extra money. This idealistic approach flies in the face of capitalism (some record executives may even label it naive), but it was a brilliant move since awareness and exposure is the hardest nut to crack for all emerging singers.
Then came her first sold-out concert in Auckland a few months ago as part of the I Heart Radio movement. Lorde's first official appearance was a potential cash cow, but tickets were priced at a shocking $0. As expected, the goodwill generated by this free concert made Lorde our favourite daughter.
Step three? In conjunction with the launch of her first official album, Lorde's marketing team posted her lyrics strategically around Auckland in locations such as the ceilings of buses and as screensavers in electronic stores. Give away the lyrics to your songs? Doesn't this spit in the face of IP ownership! But lyrics are freely available online these days, so why not beat everyone to the punch and use your own lyrics as the ad message. This increases interest, appreciation and engagement with all your potential audiences.
Turning down an offer to open for Katy Perry and retaining the rights to her songs shows Lorde's relationship with her music company is altruistic, a nice contrast to the horror stories of artist exploitation we sometimes hear. Rather than taking a short-term return-on-investment focus, which often dictates the rise and fall of the many short-lived pop and reality television stars, Universal NZ's approach to let Lorde's talent develop organically is a breath of fresh air, and once again runs against the factory line set-up of pop culture.
While Lorde does not go so far as to resort to consumer activism, there is certainly a theme of expressing what is real to teenagers around the world versus the unrealistic glorified expectations of what it means to be a teen, as portrayed by most other pop stars. It's beautifully represented in her lyrics. "We count our dollars on the train to the party. And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this. We didn't come from money."
It's safe to say that, with reports of Lorde earning a million dollars before her recent 17th birthday and last week signing a multimillion-dollar deal with a publishing house, counting dollars on the train is not going to be a problem any more.

Pedal power gets climate message across
Relevant offers
Five Dunedin students are walking the walk - or cycling it anyway - when it comes to climate change.
Lindsey Horne, Leander Schulz, Michael Fried, Letisha Nicholas, and Sophie Dobson are cycling to Auckland this month to attend Power Shift NZ-Pacific 2012, an international youth climate summit, from December 7 to 9, which brings together hundreds of young people from around New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
Organised by climate change action groups 350.org and Generation Zero, it is expected to attract at least 600 young people from New Zealand and the Pacific.
The group left Dunedin early on Monday morning and passed through Timaru on Wednesday.
Lindsey said the event would be "part festival, part conference, part workshop".
They would be excited to get there. "We are just frothing to go."
The issue was an important one, she said.
"Climate change is pretty much the defining issue of our generation.
"We are really passionate about making change."
She said cycling to the event was positive for three reasons.
"It's fun, people can see it and it is having an effect [by being carbon neutral].
"People see our generation as somewhat apathetic. We need to change that perception, because there are so many young people who would really speak out with even just a little encouragement.
"It's exciting to be part of a growing youth voice. I think climate change and environmental issues are where that voice will become really strong."
Letisha said that by cycling to the event the team were showing the country they were "walking the walk" when it came to making a difference.
"We are actually doing it."
Sophie said it was important to be leading by example.
"You get a lot of detractors who will say: 'Well, what are you doing about it?' "
The crew planned to ride almost every day for another 23 days, regardless of the weather, covering more than 1500 kilometres.
The cyclists are members of youth organisation Generation Zero, which aims to promote action on climate change.

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

The Catholic Church is the exponent of Reality. It is true. Its doctrines in matters large and small are statements of what is. . . .My conclusion – and that of all men who have ever once seen it – is the faith. Corporate, organized, a personality, teaching. A thing, not a theory. It."
Hilaire Belloc to G.K. Chesterton
"In assessing Our duty and the situation now prevailing, We have been weighed upon by the thought that a matter of this kind [i.e. error in respect of the Faith] is so grave and so dangerous that the Roman Pontiff, who is the representative upon earth of God and our God and Lord Jesus Christ, who holds the fullness of power over peoples and kingdoms, who may judge all and be judged by none in this world, may nonetheless be contradicted if he be found to have deviated from the Faith.

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II
A bit more food for thought…
"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

Retaliation is prohibited under numerous state and federal laws. The elements of a retaliation claim are:
- An individual has engaged in a protected activity;
- The employer took an adverse employment action against the individual; and
- There is a causal between the protected activity and the adverse action.
Here is some need-to-know information all company execs must have to avoid retaliation lawsuits.
Adverse employment actions don't just include major employment decisions like demotion or termination; decreased responsibilities, lowered performance ratings, failure to accommodate an employee's disability, etc., may also be considered signs of retaliation or a retaliatory motive. Courts have also ruled that a continuous series of small actions can add up to retaliation over time.
Engaging in a protected activity, such as filing a discrimination ...(register to read more)

From ProFootballTalk:
McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday that Capers will be back. Sort of.
Via Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, McCarthy said that he is "very confident" Capers will return in 2013, but that McCarthy plans to evaluate everyone.
Still, McCarthy bristled at the suggestion that Capers should be blamed. Via Seifert, McCarthy called it "ridiculous" that he has to answer questions and that he's "appalled" by the topic.

"McCarthy plans to evaluate everyone." Doesn't that sound familiar?

as frustrating as our defense has been, I am willing to give Dom some slack with regard to the personel he has to work with.
is a mystery, sometimes good, sometimes awful.
have never played a 3-4, and both ended on IR. If Worthy really had an ACL tear, it is possible we wont get him back until later next year, he may need to be PUPed.
Jarius Wynn
(last year's starting DE) was completely playing out of scheme, they just slapped a beer gut on a 4-3 DE and called it good. he sucked.
is not a DE. he gives it his best, but the man is a NT.
C.J. Wilson
is Jarius Wynn to a lesser extent, never makes much of an impact at all, is just "there".
none of our DL collapse the pocket consistantly, "their jobs are to eat blocks!"... while true, nobody is going to scheme doubles to any of these fellows because none of them are beating singles. they gotta EARN that attention.
kinda sucks, but not bad enough to replace before other needs.
aside from clay,
is our only LB with the stones to ATTACK O-linemen and bull through them (Hawk prefers to hand fight which NEVER WORKS),and Bish was down all year.
(hey, remember when Jarrett Bush was starting over Heyward and Shields?)
Nick Collins
was forced into early retirement, and we have yet to replace him. Nick was probably the most athletic player we had on D, along with the fact he called our coverage.
Erik Walden
is the one of the worst LBs I have ever seen. He can't cover, he can't contain, can barely tackle, and cannot beat single-blocking to save his life.
Clay Matthews
is fucking awsome.
I think 1-5 Williams,Shields,Heyward,House,Woodson (sometimes), is a pretty solid unit. It would be nice to have bigger DBs, but that is nitpicky.
Burnett is o.k.
IMO we really have a weak/soft DL, We need lineman who shove the OL back, why is it BAL, PIT, and SF's 3-man rushes still collapse the pocket and ours barely get passed the LoS? WEAK. we need lineman who play with POWER, our current bunch is holding us back.
Ted needs to do better!
in all my typing, I forgot what the OP was about... oh well

Good read here -
But McCarthy and Capers — assistant coaches were available to reporters after McCarthy's press conference — went out of their way to say they did adjust. Capers said he went from rushing four men, to trying to close scrambling lanes by rushing five, to using a "spy" to mirror Kaepernick when he dropped back to throw. But Kaepernick found a way to beat them all by scrambling or hitting passes against one-on-one coverage. Then in the second half he hurt the Packers with the read option — he rushed for 181 yards in the game — and a couple of big throws against zone coverage.
They actually used Erik Walden, then Dezman Moses and after each of those failed, then went to using Clay Matthews III as the Spy.

This is good news, jerking knees be damned. Capers is a helluva DC. No one could have beaten Kaepernick on Saturday. We had Joe Webb as a practice dummy. JOE WEBB. That's not much to work with.

Count me in the RajiRoar camp when it comes to Capers having not a hell of a lot to work with in his front 7. Great observation that Pickett really, really is a NT/DT. He is not an end, and has been playing out of position since we lost Cullen Jenkins. Rotating Pick and Raji would be the best move going forward, along with adding some real talent on the DL.
I do think Capers could put together a solid 4-3, or improve this defense with better personnel added by Ted & Co. to run his 3-4 currently in place. While I might prefer to have a new DC, I do think Capers can handle improving this defense with better personnel and a better plan.
I am super, super disappointed in how GB ended this season, and there are plenty of reasons why we were not competitive all the way through in looking at how our defense was handled:
1. Capers failed to have his players ready, and failed in his game time adjustments
2. Our DL coaching has appeared subpar
3. Our front 7 personnel is horrifically lacking in top talent (outside of Matthews, Raji and Pickett)
4. Injuries at key positions adversely affected our pass rush and run stopping ability
5. McCarthy's failure to commit to the run for a full 4 quarters made for really tough sledding for his defense in EVERY loss we had. Every single one, McCarthy gave up on the run, with fewer than 25-30 attempts by his RBs, losing time of possession, and allowing the opponent's offense back onto the field to score more points. Any defense will be worn down this way. Of note, we were ranked #2 in Three & Outs behind only NE for efficiency, yet only ranked #14 in Average Time of Possession.
Dedicated ATT by RBs:
v. SF 9/9/12 - 9 rushing attempts (SF had 26 rushing attempts)
v. SEA 9/24/12 - 19 rushing attempts (SEA had 26 rushing attempts)
v. IND 10/7/12 - 18 rushing attempts (IND had 24 rushing attempts)
v. NYG 11/25/12 - 23 rushing attempts (NYG had 29 rushing attempts) 5 of our rushing attempts came after 4:53 left in the game, trailing 38-10. Odd note, trailing 17-7, snakebit by Rodgers INT and subsequent NYG FG to end 1st quarter, we come out shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, resulting in sack, scramble, pass to Cobb for 6 and punt to start 2nd quarter).
v. MIN 12/30/12 - 16 rushing attempts (MIN had 35 rushing attempts)
v. SF 1/12/13 - 13 rushing attempts (SF had 27 rushing attempts, Kaepernick added another 16 on top of that)
We've added some good players who have proved their worth this season (Hayward, Moses, Daniels), and other who have potential to be great but suffered injury (Perry, Worthy). We are still a pretty damn good team overall. We just need to take this over the top, by adding better talent, improved coaching, and instilling a different mindset. Anyone else here screaming for our D to punch a ball out this season like I was? Like Chicago DID? We need some toughness. Some GAME. In many of our losses, if not all of them, we looked like weak sisters. Add to that, we played down to the levels of many inferior opponents, rather than punching them in the face. That must change, along with the 5 items listed. Do that, and we will be very, very tough to beat.

There's nothing wrong with the scheme, but a fresh mind would help. Darren Perry is younger, and by all accounts, a future defensive coordinator. He's possibly a future head coach, according to many. I'd like to see him take on a larger role, though maybe his role is greater than we all think.
Nonetheless, Capers is here to stay so no more excuses. The defense had its youth movement. They did in '09 and had an above average season, in my assessment. The numbers were good, but veteran QBs lit them up. They hit their peak in 2010 and fell off the rocker in 2011. Their struggles in '11 led to another youth movement this season, so if history is an indicator, then Capers had better have them playing well next year.
