Brands just lost again....

[AndEEss]

I’m wondering if we might get 5 or 6 out of 184 instead of 3 or 4 now.

Those ankles looked ripe for the picking.

Brands will not shoot and will tie-up, block and hammer the head to try to take Brooks offense away, so it may be difficult to get bonus. Hopefully the ref will penalize the tactic and hit him with a few stall calls.

And Tim Johnson will praise him for holding center

I don’t recall Warner’s history of being one who keels over physically. He’s more known for not getting 100% cooperation from the gray matter.

Beard will rack up some NF for sure. Should be able to score on him easily in the third.

Warnerov /= Warner IYTAI

Nice!

I forgot - it’s “showing himself”. I think Gibbons says that (e.g. “Jake Ryan is doing a good job showing himself here” - as Nolf shoots again and again and again and Ryan just blocks)

Most, even around here, don't realize that the fundamental requirement in Neutral Position to avoid stalling (in both Folk & Free) is that each wrestler INITIATE 50% of the bonafide Offensive Attacks - entering into a collar-tie and pushing (i.e., dancing bear routine) is not an offensive attack. Many, even here, believe simple pushing without making a bonafide offensive move, while your opponent has made multiple shots, protects a wrestler from a stall call, it absolutely does not.

Weiler tried to tie up, too.

AB scored on him with a shot from his knees, from distance. Also got him with an ankle pick or two from a tie.

Exactly - where's the puke bucket when supposed "experts" qualify that as "good wrestling" (or "good defense" - it's against the rules to wrestle 100% defensively, especially if your opponent has made multiple shots / offensive attacks). Going into a head/collar tie and pushing does not qualify as an Offensive Attack or "Good Wrestling", quite the contrary in fact.

Carter says hello.

Yes, he does.

You think Terry Brands is saying to his son “Go get some takedowns” against Brooks? Come on

Most, even around here, don't realize that the fundamental requirement in Neutral Position to avoid stalling (in both Folk & Free) is that each wrestler INITIATE 50% of the bonafide Offensive Attacks ...

So if the number of such attacks is an odd number, then nobody can have initiated 50% of them, so at least half of all matches will have stalling called. #math!

Maybe because that's not true.

The fundamental requirement is improving position.
