THE LAURELS OF FUCKDOGGERY: 2020 Weekly Barnabus Fuckdoggle Award Thread

[George Cumby]

Instinct is everything for an ILB. You're so close to the line and you have to be able to process things quickly. As for that video, the 40 time is mediocre for a LB. But the 3-cone is pretty good, and the 25 reps on the bench is outstanding.

Aaron Jones was the 19th RB taken in the 2017 draft. His 40 time was just average for a RB. It's his vision, instinct and attitude that make him great.

Combine vs. Game Speed/Tape.

Credit wist, I have no clue how to gauge linebackers. QB's, I can see the confidence and command and arm and accuracy. I have no clue what the linebacker is supposed to do, or how quick he's supposed to be able to make a decision, but you're damn close to right-on with your assessment over the years. Teach me.the ways mr miagi

I do. His SS and 3 Cone times were good. More important than a 40 for ILB. More important than that is instincts. I didn't watch college tape, but his instincts are good from the limited play I watched. ILB requires fast diagnosis, good angles and quick change of direction. He seems to have all that. That being said, I am not sold after such a limited showing, but there is no reason to state emphatically that he can't play, and many reasons to believe he can.

Yea...basically this.

There weren't any true candidates in week two, but against the Saints, perhaps Ty Summers deserves a Fuckdoggle shoutout. He was forced into action by the Kirksey injury and donned the green dot helmet for the defense, finishing with 9 tackles. He had one nice play in the flat tackling Kamara, but mostly had a nondescript game. Lazard went undrafted and had a huge game. But he's already established in the offense, so maybe it would be disingenuous to award him a Fuckdoggle. What say you, rats?

When Summers made that tackle you’re speaking of, I immediately thought of that frustrated Vikings fan you quoted......” That never happens with my team. With my team, the shitty players are shitty.”

It gives me the warm and fuzzy to think of that Vikes fan suffering because our team develops players like Summers.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Probably Summers, but maybe Keke?

[George Cumby]

I saw Summers flailing about. IDK if his performance was good enough for the Fuckdoggle, but I wouldn't protest too much, either.

[Joemailman]

Summers is a 7th round pick who had to come off the bench unexpectedly. He's got my vote.

[CaptainKickass]

For me it was Billy Winn. Elevated from the practice squad just for this game.

I realize he's a veteran player but I was all "who?" when he signed to the practice squad and then later I was all "Oh yeah, forgot about him" when he made that play.

Veteran Billy Winn played in his first NFL game in nearly four years and had a deflected pass at the line of scrimmage to show for his efforts.

#93 did a good thing.

Yeah, I guess one doesn't really expect a seventh rounder to make the team let alone produce, even sporadically against a really good team.

[bobblehead]

Probably Summers, but maybe Keke?

Its hard to give real props to anyone on D, but they did enough in the 4th Quarter. Both of these fuckdoggles deserve some consideration though.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Without a preseason it's kind of hard to tell a fuck from a doggle.

It seems like there hasn't been a huge amount of turnover on the roster compared to recent years. I like that.
Still, I'm having trouble picking out the outstanding new players on defense. It will take a few more games.

ps. MN seems to have had a lot more turnover

The beauty of the Fuckdoggle seems to reside in its simplicity, but this thread brings out an interesting complexity. Is the Fuckdoggle an homage to depth or to coming out of obscurity and making something of yourself? Or is it both? If both, then maybe we have two meritorious candidates. But then there's an additional layer of complexity: Runyan, through no fault of his own, is already a known entity, national recognition. Barnes, nobody has ever heard of him before. I even had to scroll back up to remember his name when writing the previous sentence. So can an accident of birth damage your Fuckdoggle chances, or is the Fuckdoggle an equal opportunity award?

When Chester Marcol caught his own blocked kick and scored a touchdown, was that the ultimate fuckdoggle?

I think that was a Duckfoggle: backasswards. But Bart cut his ass a month after that Bears game, reportedly because he was bringing too much blow into the locker room, so maybe it was a fuckdoggle.

But I think Marcol's real fuckdoggle moment was post retirement when he survived his self-administered cocktail of vodka, battery acid and warfarin. I don't think he really understood how warfarin works, by the way, but that doesn't make the survival story any less dramatic.
