Here comes the usless mask bull crap again

Articles starting to pop up about a surge of China Virus cases and should masks come back. Some govt hacks calling for it in places again.

I can't believe we as a society would fall for this again. Pandoras box was opened with all these governments and their orders the last time. THey will never totally let it go away.

The mask is USELESS. USELESS. The cowboys and leech blood sucking era gave up on the bandana masks years ago. Yet, we have people that want to wear these useless masks against a virus.

How about you take those masks and shove them up your behinds.

Video content planned for football here on HerdNation

Hey guys! Wanted to thank all of you for your support so far!

I'll be at Saturday evening's contest against Coastal Carolina and also plan to be at the contests with Appalachian State as well as Georgia State. Wanted to get to all six home games, but had difficulty obtaining the proper passes to do so. That has been straightened out and I should have the access.

We'll have video highlights posted to the website. It'll be through my YouTube channel so you can catch highlights there, if you like! I will have Saturday's contest posted early Sunday morning with the link to the video.

I'm still working on getting better at that craft, but I hope you'll enjoy the videos that are to come. Go Herd!

A few observations from JMU...

1. Our defense is good enough to win games... Have to give them a ton of credit. Porter, Burton, Gray, Sam, Abraham, all phenomenal yesterday. Find a way to score 20+ points we can beat anyone.

2. Fancher is the starter the rest of the season... The 2-QB platoon should be done for the year. Fancher showed yesterday why you go with one guy. He was bad in the first half, but he and the coaches made some adjustments at halftime and he looked much better in the second half. He needs snaps and he should get them the rest of the season, with Columbi as the backup.

3. Offensive line adjustments... Tip of the cap to Trickett, and Legg I suppose, there were some changes on the offensive line FINALLY. Palliant, who has played sparingly thus far this season, was our best offensive lineman yesterday. They left him in and he pushed guys around, especially in the running game. We also had two TEs in the game multiple times in the second half, which seems to help Fancher by improving the perimeter blocking.

4. Play calling was better... I can't speak for everyone, but I was fine with Fancher making a mistake or two as long as we were trying to be aggressive. Fancher has a good enough arm to throw intermediate routes, and yesterday we finally did that. Gammage and Keaton were both involved in the offense, Laborn was as good as he always is, and we made some big plays.

We aren't going to be a 40-points per game offense, we just aren't, but with our defense and even a mediocre offense we should be able to get to bowl eligibility and that has to be the goal.

Trump was loved by his supporters.

I randomly ran across this gentleman's obituary while looking at another one. Don't know this man and he is not famous. But, his obituary read the following and the background of the obitutary was Donald Trump speaking. I bet this man was salt of the Earth and a good man. Looks like he was happy to share the same birthday as President Donald J Trump. Trump, man of the people. You can't take that way. We miss you President Trump and God Bless you Mr Furr. Would have liked to go fishing or golfing with you, sir.

RIP, Mr Furr

PFF Defensive Grades: Marshall 26, No. 25 James Madison 12

In a crucial and much-needed performance, the Marshall defense put together its best Pro Football Focus mark of the 2022 campaign, posting an outstanding 88.7 PFF grade en route to a triumphant 26-12 victory over the previously ranked James Madison Dukes Saturday at Bridgeforth Stadium.

A PFF overview of the dominant performance, including that of Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week Owen Porter, is below!

DEFENSIVE LINE:

Following his career performance against James Madison, all eyes were squarely focused on Owen Porter -- and rightfully so.

Porter, who was absolutely relentless and disruptive in his pursuit all game, helped Marshall rally from an early 12-2 deficit by getting an astounding 17 pressures on 50 snaps. Of those 17 pressures, PFF had Porter dropping James Madison quarterback Billy Allen five times and adding in nine additional quarterback hurries to go along with nine total tackles and a pass deflection.

Not surprisingly, Porter's grade of 93.6 was the highest PFF mark of the entire defensive unit.

Immanuel Bush and TyQaze Leggs also posted strong PFF grades, with Bush collecting a 89.1 overall PFF grade and notching two sacks along with three pressures in just 28 snaps overall and Leggs collecting seven tackles from his defensive tackle position en route to an 83.7 overall PFF grade as Porter, Bush and Leggs notched the three highest overall PFF grades on the entire defense.

Anthony Watts (78 PFF), Isaiah Gibson (70.2 PFF), Sam Burton (66.2 PFF) and Koby Cumberlander (65.4 PFF) combined for seven total pressures, two tackles and two sacks while Elijah Alston (63.8 PFF), Emmanuel Balogun (60.9 PFF), Damion Barber (60.7 PFF) and Esaias Carpenter (59.7 PFF) rounded out the defensive front -- with Barber posting three quarterback hurries to compete a strong group effort from the defensive front.

LINEBACKERS:

Star linebacker Abraham Beauplan (64.4 PFF) only played 14 snaps in the contest and Jace Bobo posted the lowest grade on the defense at 41.5, but the workmanlike efforts of Charlie Gray and Eli Neal allowed the linebacking core to remain solid throughout the affair as Gray's 82.2 PFF and Neal's 78.3 PFF headed up the backers.

In all, Neal was listed as having nine tackles by PFF while Gray added in another seven himself. The pair also did well in coverage, allowing six receptions in eight targets but only allowing those completions to go for 27 yards total en route to holding the JMU offense to just 4.5 yards per completion on routes that the pair defended.

DEFENSIVE BACKS

While not producing its best PFF grade as a unit, the defensive secondary for Marshall was effective as the Thundering Herd got good efforts, in particular from Andre Sam and Steven Gilmore.

Sam, who posted the highest grade of all players in the secondary at a 74.5 PFF grade, made eight tackles (all solo) and allowed just two receptions in six targets for 18 yards while picking off a pass, while Gilmore, who posted a 70.3 PFF grade and has consistently been the highest graded corner all season long, didn't allow a reception in five targets. Both players played all 73 snaps in the contest.

E.J. Jackson, who played 44 snaps, made a pair of tackles and didn't allow a reception his way en route to a 67.9 PFF grade, while Kerion Martin (63.7 PFF), Isaiah Norman (61.9 PFF, five tackles), and Micah Abraham (60.2 PFF) all played well with Abraham being the only one of the group to allow a reception his direction (Abraham allowed four catches in eight targets for 104 yards).
