Im black and am not offended by this. Why is this a problem? His skin is the exact same color as the football its a fact we can all see! I bet Lamar is aware of this and it is a slight advantage I would think. [Reply]

You could tell he didn’t mean it at all in a racist manner and that’s the problem with today’s society. Obama always talked about, “it’s all about starting a conversation” Tim Ryan starts a conversation about his skin tone and how it might’ve helped hide the ball a bit and he’s being attacked like this? Lol...
If I was pale as **** with a white uniform and a white ball, and they said on air about me, his very pale skin makes it hard to see the ball, how in the world should or would that offend me?!?!?!? It’s fact if my pale skin is concealing the white or pale ball...
Remember when the Seahawks OL changed their gloves to match the opposing teams color jerseys? The NFL said that was illegal and a uniform violation. So I guess we need to use tinted footballs (colored is bad) to match the offensive teams jersey to make it fair for everyone? [Reply]

Russell Wilson is a really good version of Alex Smith. He is a game manager. Unlike Alex, he is more aggressive and has a better killer instinct. But I don't know... There just have been so many games in Russell's career where he puts up a blah performance when his run game and defense play well. The Brian Schottenheimer offense is built around your qb managing games. [Reply]
It was a stupid thing to say because of how people today will react to it, not because it’s really mean spirited or offensive. A person working in media should know better than to ever talk about anyone’s skin tone. [Reply]

Saw an interesting tweet today about how Kirby smart attacks a qb like this. Uses something called a mesh charge.
I still kind of thing nfl coaches are often late adjusting to tendencies that college coaches see. I still feel like lamar can eventually be held in check but nfl coaches haven't adapted to him yet. There seems to be lots of ways to hit lamar and hit him hard that nfl DCs aren't willing to try.
Wonder how much of that might play into our approach. We have the unique experience of an experienced college DC on our staff. [Reply]
