John McMullen: A competition Nick Sirianni can't win

Forget the next friendly game of roshambo at the NovaCare Complex, the biggest competition at Eagles camp might be the innovative teacher swimming upstream against the expectation of helping the overwhelmed student.
Saturday's practice session in South Philadelphia was one for the books.

In this particular causality dilemma, you had to decipher if the chicken (Jonathan Gannon's defense) was the reincarnation of the 1985 Chicago Bears or the egg (a Jalen Hurts led offense without Brandon Brooks, Isaac Seumalo, and DeVonta Smith) was responsible for one of the worst offensive practices in my 25 years of doing this.
Let's dive in by starting with the guy responsible for it all, head coach Nick Sirianni.
You've probably heard a lot about Sirianni's affinity for using video while teaching over the past week.
On the surface that's a cute training-camp story for the dog days of August and not a bad idea when dealing with a younger generation indoctrinated into society with a natural affinity for streaming content in short bursts from smartphones that may or may not be evolving into an extra appendage.
The Eagles' rookie mentor has used videos of everyone from NBA legend Kobe Bryant to hot-dog-eating superstar Takeru Kobayashi, the latter clip expressing a very interesting take on fundamentals.
"Our fifth core value is fundamentals, and Kobayashi, there's this video of Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut competing and they go, 'Why is Kobayashi so good at eating hot dogs?'" opined Sirianni. "The details and fundamentals he puts into it -- he has to have the right temperature of water to dunk the thing. He has to break the hot dog perfectly in half.
"So my point on that is, yeah, we are all seeing it and watching it, and it's like, 'What's the point of that?' My point is, if you want to be the best in the world at what you do, right, on the football field, it comes down to the little things and that right there was a fundamental talk."
From an existential standpoint that's a unique way to reach a group of young men who will start to zone out after hearing the same voices every day, something Sirianni is very cognizant of due to his teaching background.
"At some point, my voice, they are going to hear me and I'm going to talk a lot but at some point, it can't just be my voice saying it," the coach explained. "So I have these things, these messages that I want to get across. So how do I get those messages across? I think it's the art of storytelling. I guess I'm a good storyteller. So you can have this storytelling, but then visual is so big in our profession."
All of this would make an interesting doctoral thesis but what are the lessons being taught? And is there a better way to teach them to NFL players?
After watching Hurts' Saturday practice, maybe stressing the fundamentals of a Carson Palmer via video is a better idea than the more layered approach of explaining their importance across any competition, even something as goofy and endearing as hot-dog eating.
And maybe waxing nostalgic about Bryant's legendary worth ethic where Kobe might head back to the gym after a late-night meal with Allen Iverson just as A.I. was hustling to hit the club isn't translated to an environment where 75- to 90-minute practices are the norm due to a decree from above.
To be fair, though, Sirianni is a creative guy using a wide array of techniques.
He's surely showing Hurts cut-ups of brilliant footwork and pristine arm angles. The coach has also made the best of his limited practice time on the field with briskly-paced sessions that maximize what's available to him. Then there are the pop quizzes in team meetings or even the halls of the NCC to keep everyone engaged.
"He's holding everybody (accountable)," running back Miles Sanders said when discussing his coach. "He puts all the film up on the screen in front of everybody. Everybody's nervous in there. He does pop quizzes every team meeting. That keeps us in our playbooks, testing our knowledge on the playbook and how we're learning it. I like it. It's keeping us all on our toes, and really keeping us locked in."
Sanders, of course, is also not all that upset over the length of practices:
"I love it. They're not three hours long," he said. "I love how they're making it very fun. Just gotta have fun with this stuff because training camp is not fun at all."
Finally, you have the constant competition like what Avonte Maddox described as a third-down jamboree Saturday which enabled the offense to save a little face on a run-of-the-mill Nick Mullens to Jason Huntley 3rd-and-5 conversion to punctuate the session.
"It's very important to compete and it's very important to win, to do our best and compete in whatever drill that may be," said linebacker Eric Wilson, who looked like Derrick Brooks while baiting Hurts into an ugly interception during the Saturday session. "We did competition in special teams – linebackers vs. linebackers, skills (returners and gunners) vs. skills. That's important, to compete every day, get better with yourself and make the person across you better."
By Sunday, in front of nearly, 26,000 at Lincoln Financial Field, the bleeding was slowed as Hurts was back to making some plays, most notably a beautiful 50/50 ball in which Quez Watkins went up over Anthony Harris to high point the football and the QB's best throw of the might, an outside-shoulder fade to Travis Fulgham for about 30 yards.
The cut wasn't closed though.
Along with the ups of the occasional big play from Hurts were the downs of shoddy decision-making whether that stems from holding onto the football too long, throwing into double coverage, or flushing too quickly instead of climbing the pocket.
When you understand the Jeffrey Lurie Eagles have always been obsessed with innovation and the race to stay ahead of the imaginary NFL curve it comes into focus why they landed on Sirianni, who seems tailor-made for that philosophy as a young coach who embraces out-of-the-box techniques to get the job done.
The caution sign to that isn't exactly flashing yet but after the next PBU parade by a defense that isn't supposed to be world-beaters, you should at least be reminded that by definition, innovation is always new but not everything new is innovative.
The value of an idea lies in its use.
More so, the bells and whistles always take a back seat to the talent, something Sirianni himself admitted last week when asked by PhillyVoice about another Lurie passion — analytics.
"You've got to think it's always, always, always, always about the players first," the coach admitted. "That's regardless of – you know, when we talk about game planning – that's regardless of whether you see a great play on tape or the analytics tell you something. It's still – I guess the old saying goes, 'It's about the Jimmys and Joes not the Xs and Os.'"
That's four different uses of "always" by Sirianni and the redundancy should not go unnoticed.
Right now, Sirianni might rather have a Jimmy or Joe at the controls of his offense because the Jalen running it just doesn't look good enough.

League One transfer rumours: Coventry City chase MK Dons ace plus latest on Charlie Kelman whilst George Dobson bid not 'acceptable',
South Shields FC chairman Geoff Thompson calls on community to help him realise Football League dream
South Shields FC owner Geoff Thompson has warned that he can't get the club into the Football League on his own '" and that he needs the whole town to back his vision.
Friday, 05 October, 2018, 10:50
From left, Foundation chief Steve Camm, joint team manager Lee Picton and chairman Geoff Thompson on stage at South Shields FC at the launch of Project EFL.
Mr Thompson has overseen a remarkable transformation of the club's fortunes since becoming chairman in 2015, with three successive promotions and a FA Vase win at Wembley.
His ambition is to get the Mariners back in the Football League, and has called on the community to pull together to help realise his dream.
Speaking at the launch of Project EFL yesterday, the 56-year-old businessman told a group of businessmen and sponsors from the borough that they had a vital role to play.
"I can't do this by myself, nor would I ever be so arrogant to think I could," he said.
"We need the support of the business community, sponsors, fans and everyone to achieve this dream."
South Shields are playing in the Evo-Stik Premier League, three rungs below the Football League, and averaged crowds of 1,500 last season.
Mr Thompson believes they will need to double their average attendance, however, to sustain a full-time football club that can push for further promotions.
He is determined to make the club sustainable and not reliant on personal investment from himself, having funded the redevelopment of Mariners Park out of his own pocket.
And with the club potentially looking to go full-time in the next couple of years, the launch of Project EFL is geared to putting a long-term strategy in place.
Mr Thompson, who founded energy supplier Utilitywise, added: "The pressure on me is if I can't marshal and engender the support of both the business community and fans coming in greater numbers, how do you fund the club post season 2019-2020? How do you fund a full-time team?
"As a ballpark number if you look at a million pound for first team wages, our budget is obviously lower than that, so if we are to succeed as a Conference side or above, we need to be able to fund that.
"I'm only going to be able to do that with the support of businesses and fans. I know that's a statement of the obvious, but I wouldn't want to be someone who throws loads of money at this and it be a white elephant and unsustainable.
"I don't want to be the bloke who blows millions of pounds on a project and for it to fail.
"There's a lot of smarter and wealthier people than me who have failed, so it's how you prevent that.
"In my view, the only way it is going to work is with the community, fans and sponsors."

Which sharpeners are best for colored pencils?
Once you get hooked on working with coloured pencils, it won't be long before you find yourself asking how to find a good sharpener. You will soon find that most sharpeners either never do a decent job in the first place or last just a few weeks and need either replacement blades or the total replacement. I found many brands of handheld sharpener that worked very well for a short time.
Why does a sharp pencil matter? Quite simply your work will always be better if you keep a sharp point on your pencil. A sharp point fills the tooth of the paper in - a blunt pencil glides over the surface leaving annoying little white dots in your work. A sharp pencil is essential for fine detail - you can only get the detail as fine as your point. Obvious, but true.
When l post on Instagram the question l am asked most often (because people see my photos and see the incredible points on my pencils) is, 'what sharpener do you use?'. My answer to this is always the Carl Angel 5. I love this sharpener. I love this sharpener. Did l mention that l love this sharpener? I have already written a blog post about it, but l thought a page here would be easier to find. So why is it so great you want to know?
The main thing is that this sharpener puts the longest, finest point on my pencils of any l have ever used. Every time. A point so beautiful you never want to try another sharpener. A point so beautiful l always keep a spare sharpener just in case. I don't want to be without one for even a day! If you read reviews online you will see some people complain there are no instructions about how to use it. Really it is s very simple. (Forget the silly and unnecessary desk clamp it comes with). Simply squeeze the clamps to allow your pencil in, let go and turn the handle until it stops grinding.
Now the first time you use it, you will eat a fair chunk of pencil as it puts that beautiful long shape on it. I must admit l was worried it was going to eat through my expensive pencils in no time. But no. After the first sharpen l need only turn the handle a couple of times to bring that fine, fine point back. I sharpen endlessly. I draw all day every day. And l actually enjoy sharpening my pencils with this sharpener.
The draw holds a lot of sharpenings, it is days before it needs emptying, this might seem trivial but it is really irritating to have to keep leaving your work to empty a box of shavings. And the draw glides in and out so smoothly, no fiddling around trying to piece compartments back together.
l have to tell you that it also sharpens those notoriously difficult to sharpen Prismacolors perfectly. They so rarely break in the Carl Angel 5 that l feel bad to even mention l have had it happen. I wouldn't even touch Prismacolors before because l used to go through half a pencil every time l tried to sharpen one with my hand held sharpener.
lf a point does break, (which is so, so unusual) and a sharp tap won't dislodge the point you will need to remove the blade from the unit and try dislodging it, which can be awkward. I usually use the point of a compass. The trickiest part is slotting the blade back in. Sometimes it pops back in first time and sometimes however carefully you line the slots up it doesn't want to go. This is a really minor niggle because there is so rarely a break that l would be really nit picking to mark it down any points over it.
Another huge plus for me is the longevity of the sharpener. One of these lasts me for about 18 months to two years before it doesn't get quite the point it used to. I used to pay $7 for the handheld sharpener l used. Which was good (but not as good as this beauty), but the blade lost it sharpness in about 6 weeks. So the extra cost of buying the Carl Angel 5 is more than worth it. Over the lifetime of the sharpener l save massively. This does bring me to my one downside of this product. The replacement blades are more expensive to buy than replacing the entire unit. This does irritate me, from the ridiculousness of it to start with, but mainly from an environmental, waste point of view. It is so very wasteful to replace a whole unit when all l need is the blade.
Now when l was reading reviews of this sharpener one of the few negatives l read was that the grips on the sharpener leave little indents in your pencils. Well, they do! But truthfully if you are the person that minds little indents on your pencils, you probably won't be using your pencils because you won't want to wear them down, in which case you won't need a sharpener!
What else can l say other than buy two, then when the first one eventually gives up, you won't have to spend even one day without this beautiful tool.

Streamyard comes with several drawbacks. First, it limits its users to 10 per stream, which limits the ability to host large events. The transitions could be smoother. They're also abrupt.

Constituents from Skipton and Ripon attended the first of two constituency EU debates organised by Julian Smith MP on Thursday night.
People from across the area filled the Ripon Spa Hotel ballroom to hear the arguments for remaining in and leaving the EU from a panel of experts.
Former Skipton and Ripon MP John Watson OBE and Wall Street Journal commentator Simon Nixon took to the floor to argue the case for Britain remaining in the EU, while UKIP Thirsk and Malton Chairman Toby Horton and Alan Halsall of Vote Leave spoke in favour of leaving the EU. The panelists answered questions on a number of topics from farming and agriculture to business and the economy.
Mr Smith will be holding a further debate in Skipton tomorrow featuring agricultural expert, Professor Wyn Grant, and a head-to-head debate between Ken Clarke MP and Nigel Evans MP.


Description: The Grail Administration Nigeria provides opportunities for adherents of the Grail Message in Nigeria to strive individually towards the realization of a mutual aim. This aim is expressed in the working together to deepen their experiencing of the truths found in the work: "In The Light Of Truth" The Grail Message; and to increase the awareness of the existence of the Grail Message to earnest seekers for the Truth of Life. The Author, in His foreword, specifically states that He is addressing earnest seekers only and further that He does not bring a new religion with His Work "but is intended as the torch to help all serious listeners or readers find the right path, which leads them to the longed-for height".

Director of Media & Public Relations at Wesleyan University
Aaron, 4 Students Publish New Epilepsy Research
by Lauren Rubenstein • March 6, 2012
Gloster Aaron, assistant professor of biology and assistant professor of neuroscience and behavior, has published a new study in PLoS ONE, an international, peer-reviewed online publication. The study is co-authored by four Wesleyan students: Jeffrey Walker BA '08/ MA '09, Greg Storch BA '10/MA '11, Bonnie Quach-Wong '12 and Julian Sonnenfeld '11.
In this study, the researchers were able to produce a cortical slice preparation that allows activity to propagate from neurons in one cortical hemisphere to the other hemisphere through the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is the largest structure that connects the right and left halves of our brain. By examining this activity in slices, the neurons can be studied and manipulated under a microscope while activity is ongoing. The slices will stay "alive" for many hours, if handled correctly. The researchers used this method to study seizure-like events, particularly their ability to propagate across the callosum in these slices.

Telfair's "Imaginary Landscapes" Debuts in New York Gallery
by Lauren Rubenstein • February 13, 2012
Tula Telfair's oil on canvas, "Built Exclusively for Delight," (2011) was one of 15 paintings featured in Telfair's Out of Sight: Imaginary Landscapes exhibit.
Professor of Art Tula Telfair's latest exhibition, Out of Sight: Imaginary Landscapes, opened at the Forum Gallery in New York, N.Y. on Jan. 5 to a packed crowd. The 15 large panoptic paintings shown in the exhibition, which ran through Feb. 11, depict majestic mountainous landscapes dominated by dramatic skies that reflect a broad range of locations and weather patterns.
As with Telfair's past work, her landscapes are derived from memory and imagination. Telfair, director of Wesleyan's Arts Studio Program, finds it fascinating when people tell her they can identify a particular location, since none actually exist.
"Since I have no idea when I begin what the final image will be, it feels like I'm exploring new territory when I start a painting, and that's very exciting. Because I can easily copy images, I tended to lose interest in the process when I worked from observation," she explains. But by painting from her imagination and memory, she is challenged intellectually, technically and emotionally. "Successfully painting an image that was not observed, but that viewers are convinced exists, is gratifying."
Telfair works on many canvases simultaneously. She begins by mixing colors for the skies and starts painting each one intuitively.
Stemler Authors Article on University Admission Test Prediction
An article by Steven Stemler, assistant professor of psychology, is published in Vol. 47, Issue 1 of Educational Psychologist.
In the article, "What Should University Admissions Tests Predict?" Stemler argues that because colleges and universities emphasize the development of a broad range of capabilities in their students—beyond just mastery of specific academic content—admissions tests should also capture a range of essential student qualities. The article includes a review of these common capabilities, such as cultural competence and ethical reasoning, which colleges and universities purport to seek and develop in their students. It then presents a conceptual model outlining what outcomes admissions tests ought to predict, and considers whether testing should be based on an applicant's aptitude, ability or achievement in these essential skill areas.
Rodriguez Mosquera's Article on Honor, Emotions in Diverse Cultures
Patricia Rodriguez Mosquera, assistant professor of psychology, is the co-author of "Honor and Emotion," published in the February issue of The Inquisitive Mind: Social Psychology for You (InMind). InMind is a peer-reviewed quarterly publication on social psychology geared toward a lay audience.
The article, co-authored with alumnae Martha Liskow '11 and Katie DiBona '11, answers the question, "What is honor?" It describes several different types of honor, including morality-based honor, family-based honor, and gender-related honor. The writers then explore the ways in which honor influences emotional experience and expressions. Findings described in the paper come from research into honor and emotion in Mediterranean, North American, Northern European and Middle-Eastern cultures. The full article is online here.
Birds Seek Caterpillars on Nutritious Trees, Says Biology Researchers
by Lauren Rubenstein • January 23, 2012
Christian Skorik photographed this black-capped chickadee munching on a caterpillar during his group's study.
A word of caution to the caterpillar munching on that delicious, nutritious black cherry tree: watch out for hungry birds.
Michael Singer, associate professor of biology, is the lead author of a new study published in The American Naturalist on the effect of a caterpillar's choice of feeding spot on its chances of becoming bird food. The article found that on balance, nutritious trees, like black cherry, can increase by 90 percent a caterpillar's risk of being taken by foraging birds. According to the article, this effect is seen because the most nutritious tree species harbor the greatest number of caterpillars, offering up the easiest pickings for birds. Unfortunately for caterpillars, feeding on less crowded, nutritionally poor trees, like American beech, also carries risk by slowing down a caterpillar's growth and prolonging its exposure to bird predation.
The article was co-authored by two former Wesleyan students—Tim Farkas '08, MA '10 and Christian Skorik '09, MA '10—and researchers at the University of California at Irvine. Numerous undergraduates in the Hughes summer research program assisted with the field experiment in Connecticut forests over a period of two years.
Tour Wesleyan's Campus on Google Maps
Take a stroll through Wesleyan's Center for the Arts on Google Maps' "Street View."
Prospective students from around the globe who are eager to explore Wesleyan's 340-acre campus can now do so from the comfort of their homes, thanks to a new partnership with Google.
Foss Hill, as seen on Google Maps.
Over the past few months, Google Maps has released new imagery of university campuses, including Wesleyan's, in its "Street View" collections. Google describes its expanding collection as an "ongoing effort to create a virtual mirror of the world."
According to a Jan. 11 Los Angeles Times story featuring Google's virtual campus tours, "Google announced it has more than tripled the number of university partners that participate in its Street View Program, allowing parents and students to imagine strolling along the Charles River at Boston University or enjoying the sunshine at Wesleyan University's Foss Hill, right on the computer." Google's updated list includes 27 universities in the U.S., 40 in Japan, two in Canada, two in Denmark, 10 in Great Britain and 11 in Taiwan, according to the Times story.

Griffin on Tech: China flexes its tech muscle at the Olympics
Peter Griffin, Editor. 18 February 2022, 11:00 am
Our 15 young athletes who have been competing in the Winter Olympics, including gold and silver medal-winning superstar Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, are getting intimately acquainted with the best technology China has to offer.
The apartments they stay in are equipped with smart beds that can monitor their breathing and heart rate, the mattresses capable of registering body signatures that can be sent to their coaches. Daily Covid test results and vaccine passport information is held in an app that needs to be scanned as people move around the Olympic village.
In the cafeterias, robotic serving staff deliver food to athletes' tables and admonish those they detect are not wearing the mandated face mask. More robots are out back in the kitchen cooking the food and delivery bots courier parcels around the Olympic villages.
China has also made its digital yuan available to visitors, encouraging them to download the app and load up on the currency, touting the Chinese central bank's leadership among governments in the digital currency space.
Every venue has 5G mobile access on tap, courtesy of Chinese mobile equipment giant Huawei no doubt, and clean energy has been wired in from wind and solar plants in the Zhangbei region north of Beijing to power the Olympic facilities. Cars and buses running on emission-free hydrogen ferry athletes and officials between venues.
It's all in service of promoting what the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee has dubbed the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics". But it is also making a point to the United States and the other wealthy nations that have sent their athletes to compete - China has become a technology powerhouse and it wants the world to know it.
Summer turns to winter
That's in stark contrast to the 2008 Summer Olympics, when the Chinese were still largely regarded as the low-cost electronics manufacturing centre for a host of US technology companies, Apple among them. That was before the rise of Alibaba, Xiaomi, Tencent, and iFlytek., the Chinese tech giants, who last year faced a crackdown from their own government as president Xi sought to excerpt tighter control over them.
Today, China and the US are locked in a stalemate over trade tariffs and have blacklisted each other's tech companies over alleged national security concerns. In reality, the two superpowers are exerting their dominance and jealously guarding advances in next-generation wireless networks, artificial intelligence and quantum computing, to maintain a competitive edge over the other.
I witnessed this in 2019 on a visit to Beijing, months before the emergence of Covid-19 from Wuhan in China signalled the beginning of a pandemic that has now claimed over five million lives globally. By the time I arrived in China, interviews I'd lined up months earlier with technologists and academics had been cancelled due to the escalating trade and geopolitical tensions between China and the US.
Since then, an uneasy peace has settled in. China needs the US and other wealthy nations as trading partners to grow its vast economy, so the factories still churn out phones, computers and components destined for the US. But it is investing heavily in emerging technologies with the aim of becoming self-sufficient in critical areas, such as semiconductor production.
Surveillance society
The display of technological prowess at the Olympics which end this weekend, where tens of thousands of athletes, staff, media and officials reside and work in one massive closed loop that extends from the airport to the Olympic village, has a darker less visible side.
The surveillance society that has accompanied the technological development of China is in full operation at the Olympics, complete with facial recognition cameras and government monitoring of the apps downloaded and used by visitors. The closed bubble is like a microcosm of China itself, where everything is closely observed and controlled.
Athletes may get served up burgers by robots, but they'll hit the great firewall of China trying to log onto Gmail or many western news websites. There's also the looming cloud over the games caused by the ongoing persecution of the Uyghur population in the Xinjiang province, which saw the US and other nations refuse to send diplomats to the games.
It's hard not to admire what China has achieved in 20 years in its tech industry. Shenzhen, for instance, used to be a small fishing village, now it is a powerhouse of innovation and one of the biggest electronics manufacturing centres in the world, with a fully-electric fleet of buses.
But technology will also increasingly serve as a tool for China's Communist Party to exert more control over its population. Beyond the pristine ski slopes and shiny innovations of Beijing's Olympic village, China's tech revolution serves as a warning against the misuse of technology in the service of authoritarianism.
