Marshall William Faulk (born February 26, 1973) is a former football player who was a running back in the NFL for 13 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and St. Louis Rams. He is regarded as one of the greatest running backs of all time.

He played college football for the San Diego State Aztecs, with whom he was a two-time consensus All-American. He was selected by the Colts as the second overall pick in the 1994 NFL Draft; he was with the Colts for five seasons and played the last eight seasons of his career with the Rams. He was a member of the Greatest Show on Turf, a name given to the St. Louis Rams team that appeared in two Super Bowls and won Super Bowl XXXIV. In 2000, he was named the MVP of the NFL.

He is one of only three NFL players to reach at least 10,000 rushing yards and 5,000 receiving yards and the only one to amass 12,000 yards rushing and 6,000 yards receiving. He was an analyst for various programs on the NFL Network until December 2017. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2017.

He was born and raised in New Orleans. He attended Carver High School in the Ninth Ward, where he played for the Carver Rams high school football team. A standout track sprinter, he was timed at 10.3 seconds in the 100 meters, 21.74 over 200 meters, and 49.4 in the 400 meters. While growing up he sold popcorn at New Orleans Saints games in the Louisiana Superdome.

During his final two years playing for Carver High, he rushed 1,800 yards and scored thirty-two touchdowns. In his senior season, he played defensive back, intercepting 11 passes and returning six of them for touchdowns. africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Perfect Barrel Length

This is another one of those debates that seems to constantly rage on and on and on. So I’ll take a few moments to discuss my experience and thoughts on the matter. For this particular discussion, we’ll focus mainly on the .223/5.56 caliber as it is the most common caliber today for the AR-15 platform. The advantages and disadvantages of different barrel lengths are fairly well documented.

The basis for this comes from the original design of the 5.56 cartridge which was designed around a rifle length gas system and a 20” barrel. To get the absolute best velocity, north of 3000fps and terminal ballistics of the small 5.56 cartridge, the 20” barrel is definitely the way to go. They also shoot the softest. The main disadvantage of this is the added length of the rifle which can be less effective when clearing rooms. The length is even more if you plan to run a suppressor. The 20” barrel rifles will also have the most weight. Just take a look at my recent M16A4 project I embarked on using a basic Colt 20” rifle picked up from Brownells. It’s the longest and the heaviest out of my AR-15 rifles, except for maybe my purpose built 20” AR15 match rifle.

A 16” barrel is probably the most common as it’s the shortest length one can go and still retain a rifle buttstock without it being considered a pistol or going the short barreled rifle route via the ATF. The 16” can be had with a carbine or midlength gas system. The midlength gas system offers a softer recoil and less wear on the parts overall than the carbine gas system. When adding a suppressor, it’s still somewhat unwieldy in my opinion, but still nothing like a 20” rifle would be. The shortest barrel length I will ever go with the 5.56 cartridge is 10.3”. The 10.3” barrel offers a short barrel that with a suppressor attached, it’s about the length of a 16” barrel. Unfortunately, you have to file a form 1 with the ATF and pay the extra tax in order to attach a rifle butt stock. The other disadvantage comes from the cartridge itself. Since the 5.56 cartridge is designed around a 20” barrel, you lose a ton of velocity when using a 10.3” barrel which reduces it’s range as well as ballistic efficiency. This is where some intermediate length barrels come into play. Recently I put together an upper receiver using parts from Brownells, like their lightweight Wrenchman handguard and nitride bolt carrier group, Aero receiver and a 12.5” Rosco K9 Sage barrel. The barrel itself is interesting as it has a proprietary patrol length gas system from Rosco. Just 2” of added barrel length can increase the velocity 100-200 FPS in the 5.56 cartridge increasing it’s range as well as ballistic efficiency, while still maintaining a short overall profile than a 16” barrel.

People are still trying to find that sweet spot between barrel length, efficiency and range, while maintaining a shorter overall profile and lower weight. At the end of the day, there is no free lunch and everything is a compromise in one way or another when it comes to barrel length. What you’re willing to compromise ultimately is up to the end user and his or her use case.

Guy down the block called me over today to look at some stuff for him, turns out he was given an M1889 Mida Brescia 10.3mm Italian Army pistol and he had no idea what he had. He said if I looked at I could have some old ammo he was given also. I'm like "You had me at free ammo." I tore the pistol down, it's missing one part, of course that one part is the little arm that allows it to fire in double action. Other than that it seems to be in full working order. To bad I don't have a box of 10.3 Italian sitting around. I did get most of 3 boxes of vintage M1911 ammo from Frankford Arsenal, all 3 boxes are from the same lot number. Also a full bandolier of PING machine food (M1 Garand), an bunch of .38 and .38 long Colt, some 45-70 Gov., one round each of 52-70 Sharps and .50 Maynard carbine. None of it I shoot, other than the 45 ACP but that vintage stuff looks rough. Still a cool day none the less.

closing bell: on this day: RTARLsman rankings following the games of week 7, college football season 2018

Football sucks and I hate all of you even more than normal.

Don’t get the wrong impression. It’s not you. It’s Mark Richt. And Malik Rosier. And I guess Thomas Brown but I don’t actually know what he does for his money. Same thing with Jon Richt. Actually, I can tell you that Jon Richt sucks because if he was a good QB coach then I wouldn’t feel like this right now during what should be a happy time: hyping up random college players as I make up mind slowly about which individual one is the best.

1. TUA TAGOVAILOA, QB, Alabama

It’s hard to think of anybody as better than Tua right now as he puts up stats that would look good in Tecmo Super Bowl. Would he be able to do this stuff on another team? No. But he’d still be really good.

2. ED OLIVER, DT, Houston

I told you it wouldn’t take more than one good game for Oliver’s stats to look amazing. And he got that last week. With Nick Bosa quitting, Oliver is no longer the only semi-official draft entrant for 2019. Bosa will get drafted higher than Oliver but he can’t win any trophies this year so who is actually better?

3. DARRELL HENDERSON, RB, Memphis

Yards per carry is down to a paltry 10.3 but he’s still way up in rushing yardage numbers so I guess I’ll leave him up here for now.

4. GARDNER MINSHEW, QB, Washington State

He’s just another Air Raid QB but he’s got a great name and sometimes that’s all I want.

5. DWAYNE HASKINS, QB, Ohio State

He’s in position to make a run at most passing TDs in a single season (currently held by Colt Brennan.) That’s kind of dumb but cool also. Haskins is going to need all of 15 games to get there but is that any stupider than playing in an offense that throws 70 times a game? No.

6. BRIAN BURNS, EDGE, Florida State

It’s very much not his fault that FSU is a trash pile. Burns is kind of skinny for an NFL EDGE prospect but he might be good enough that it doesn’t matter much. It’s possible he’s just feasting on bad opposition but he looks like a monster when I’ve seen him play.

7. JUWAN FOGGIE, LB, Charlotte

I have no real clue about this kid but I like his name and he used to be a WR before switching to linebacker. And now he is tied for the national lead in interceptions, which sort of makes sense for a former WR even if it’s weird for a LB.

8. GREG DORTCH, WR, Wake Forest

A triple threat! Dortch has good hands and reminds me of the trend around/after Raghib Ismail where every team tried to have a WR that could also line up at RB sometimes and then return kicks.

9. JUSTIN HERBERT, QB, Oregon

He keeps pushing Oregon to wins after I kept talking about how they were sort of shitty early on. Now I’m jealous of Oregon having Mario Cristobal as their head coach and I want Herbert to go anywhere but the Giants in the draft next year.

10. D.K. METCALF, WR, Mississippi

This is a goodbye. Metcalf is out for the year with a neck injury which might mean that he isn’t even going to get paid next year and that is incredibly sad. Between him and Ahmmon Richards I’d like to extend my deepest sympathies to whichever hapless player becomes my new favorite WR in the country.

Who is a contender and who’s a pretender out of the NFL’s unbeaten teams?

Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images

Five undefeated teams remain. Who has a chance to make a deep run?

The NFL will finish Week 3 with five undefeated teams. In the NFC, the Cardinals, Panthers, and Rams are all undefeated. The Raiders and Broncos are unbeaten in the AFC.

A good start might seem like any team could achieve, but historically starting 3-0 bodes well for a teams long-term chances in the season. Over the last five years a total of 25 teams have been undefeated by the close of Week 3, with 18 of them making the playoffs by year’s end. Four of them went on to appear in the Super Bowl. Outside of a wholly bizarre 2016, in which five teams started 3-0, but only one made the playoffs, the trend is fairly constant that starting strong means finishing strong.

Statistically speaking we’re going to see two of the remaining five undefeated teams miss out on the playoffs. Let’s break it down and try to work out who it might be.

Denver Broncos

Week 1: 27-13 win over Giants Week 2: 23-13 win over Jaguars Week 3: 26-0 win over Jets

Why the Broncos are contenders

It’s difficult to call Denver a “surprise” so far, because they’ve beaten bad teams they should have beaten. However, inside of the raw results there are signs of a team trending upwards in a big way.

Teddy Bridgewater is cementing himself as the team’s answer at quarterback and more importantly he’s not making mistakes. This is allowing a team, who frankly don’t have a lot of explosiveness on offense, to grind out wins. It’s a case of an offense not screwing things up for the defense, which is where the Broncos have really excelled. The team ranks in the top 5 of every defensive statistical category, and leads the NFL in stopping drives, with opponents only scoring on 10.3 percent of their possessions.

If this holds the Broncos will be playoff bound in the AFC West, something that nobody predicted.

Why the Broncos are pretenders

Without question Denver has had the softest cupcake start to the 2021 season. All three opponents represent some of the most dysfunctional teams in the league, and outside of the blowout win of the Jets, it’s not like these have been exceptionally convincing wins.

When the dust settles you need an element of explosiveness to win games in the NFL against elite teams, and thus far the Broncos haven’t shown it. This has been a fun start to the season, but the lack of big plays will begin to rear their head when up against teams who won’t crumble against Denver’s defense

Verdict: PRETENDER

Arizona Cardinals

Week 1: 38-13 win over Titans Week 2: 34-33 win over Vikings Week 3: 31-19 win over Jaguars

Why the Cardinals are contenders

The Arizona offensive principles are well known, with Kyler Murray being the perfect quarterback to happily throw 50 times a game when asked. Obviously there’s a ton of firepower on this offense, with the Cardinals averaging 34 points a game, but this season they’ve added a wrinkle with a solid defense.

As it stands the team is allowing 5.4 yards-per-play across both phases, good for 12th in the NFL. That isn’t wholly remarkable in isolation, but the team played two very strong offensive teams in the first two weeks of the season. Pair that with an offense in the top 10 in both passing and rushing, and you have a recipe for success.

Why the Cardinals are pretenders

I don’t blame you for being excited with this team after the first two weeks when they stuck it to two teams that have legitimate playoff resumes, but that game in Week 3 against the hapless Jaguars was far too close for comfort.

There’s also a worrying trend that the explosive pass rush we saw in Week 1 is slowing down, and generating far less pressure than they did against Tennessee. The question is whether this team has enough gas for the long haul, or how they’ll handle adversity when it strikes.

Verdict: CONTENDER (with a little trepidation)

Carolina Panthers

Week 1: 19-14 over Jets Week 2: 26-7 over Saints Week 3: 24-9 over Texans

Why the Panthers are contenders

I don’t think anyone expected the team’s defense to be this good, even the most die-hard Panthers fans. Yes the talent was there in the front seven, but 2021 has been the year it’s all meshed together. Carolina’s defense is damn near impenetrable, allowing just 3.8 yards-per-play, and a paltry 36 first downs over the three games.

On the flip side you have Sam Darnold, who is playing the best football of his career in his new home and immediately finding a rapport with top receiver D.J. Moore. Darnold is far from taking over games himself, but he’s doing a lot under center and when that’s supported by the defense you have a recipe for success.

Why the Panthers are pretenders

Much like the Broncos, look at who they’ve played. That Week 2 win over the Saints goes a long way to making a statement, but that was also an injury-ravaged New Orleans team the Panthers faced.

The defense has been absolutely phenomenal, but it’s unrealistic to think it will hold — especially against some of the offenses the Panthers are facing coming up. It’s been a hell of a start for a team many expected to go 5-12 on the season, but with key injuries to Christian McCaffery and Jaycee Horn it’s growing closer to the point where the clock strikes midnight on this Cinderella story.

Verdict: PRETENDER

Las Vegas Raiders

Week 1: 33-27 over Ravens Week 2: 26-17 over Steelers Week 3: 31-28 over Dolphins

Why the Raiders are contenders

Boasting the best offense in the NFL, Las Vegas is averaging 471 yards-per-game on the back of Derek Carr, who has gone full Super Saiyan on the season. Carr has already thrown for 1,200 yards this season, and we just finished Week 3. That’s a breakneck pace to keep up, but he’s playing really great football and keeping the Raiders competitive, even when their defense falters. Of course, it helps when you have as many athletic receivers as Vegas does, each of whom is able to break huge gains at the drop of a hat.

As time goes on the Steelers look worse, but beating the Ravens in Week 1 remains a huge statement game — and that narrow win over the Dolphins is traditionally a place where the Raiders would fall into a trap game, but they avoided it this time.

Why the Raiders are pretenders

Defensively the team is mediocre. Right now that’s okay because the offense has been so good, but it’s concerning to see the team in the middle of the pack in pass defense, and bottom third in run defense.

That’s putting way too much pressure on Derek Carr and company, and will be something to watch. Still, I think there’s a spark to this team and they’re hot at the right time. I’m buying in.

Verdict: CONTENDER

Los Angeles Rams

Week 1: 34-14 over Bears Week 2: 27-24 over Colts Week 3: 34-24 over Buccaneers

Why the Rams are contenders

The Rams took their already stellar playmaking defense and added Matthew Stafford to the other side of the ball. It’s that simple. We talked about the importance of explosiveness earlier with the Broncos, and that’s what Stafford is offering in spades over Jared Goff.

You can argue that two of the teams they’ve played so far have fallen off, but these are still three wins over playoff teams a year ago, including an anchoring win over the Super Bowl champs that shows this season isn’t a flash in the pan.

The Rams are playing in a really tough division, but right now they’re the class of the NFC West and compare favorably when it’s time for divisional games.

Why the Rams are pretenders

I don’t have a really good answer here. If you’re going to nitpick you can point to Stafford’s start and have doubts whether he can keep up his pace, but there’s so much wiggle room here that he can drop off a little and the Rams will still be serious threats every week.

Verdict: CONTENDER

Can any of these teams go all the way?

Statistically speaking there’s a 16 percent chance one of these teams will make the Super Bowl. If I had to put money on it there’s only one answer: The Los Angeles Rams.

This team isn’t far removed from making the big game already, doing it in 2019 and I think there’s enough talent to get the job done. It’s risky making a proclamation like that, but so far the Rams are worth it. They’re simply put, a very, very good football team.

Popular Rifle Builds for Cloners

youtube

Maybe you have heard of a group of individuals in the firearms community known as “cloners.” Cloners build rifles that resemble actual service rifles. Sometimes these clone rifles very accurately represent the actual platform. Each component is carefully selected to build the most authentic looking rifle. Other times they are simply an informal example of an actual military rifle and are just an inspiration for a unique project. It all depends on the cloner’s end goal.

The three most common clones are the M4, MK12, and MK18. These frequently copied models have not only been used in recent wars but are also seen frequently in the entertainment industry such as movies and TV shows. All are proven platforms with their own iconic look and characteristics. It is not all for show though. The military have designed these platforms to fulfill specific roles.

The M4 needs no introduction. This is a standard issue service rifle for many soldiers and the model has gone through a number of reiterations. Branches of the military have elected to choose a variety of their own parts such as stocks, fore-ends, lights, lasers, etc. but for the most part the M4 is traditionally built on a Colt receiver with a 14.5-inch barrel and fixed front sight post. Iron sights, red dot (Aimpoint or EOTech) or ACOG will usually be the sighting system on top. This is a rifle that can fill almost any role and is a good beginner project for a first-time cloner. SEE AT GUNS.COM FROM $1,050

For some cloning is a challenge to build a rifle that is exactly to spec but for others it is a fun way to remember our history and maybe put their own personal twist on it. (Photo: Ben Brown/Guns.com)

Sometimes you want a rile with precision. The MK12 Special Purpose Rifle (SPR) was designed to be more effective at further distances. This rifle chambered in 5.56 is often cloned but does use some unique parts that may require some in depth searching if you want an accurate clone. It has gone through a number of variations but usually you will find these tack drivers with 2.5-10x variable scopes, 18-inch free floated barrels that sit under a 12-inch handguard. A great place to source MK12 components is from Precision Reflex Inc. SEE AT GUNS.COM FROM $2,054

The most popular of the three clones right now is the MK18 chambered in 5.56. Since the MK18 uses a 10.3-inch barrel you will find clones that are in “pistol” form but if you are looking to be as authentic as possible then you will need to build an SBR. A Daniel Defense MK18 is a pretty easy way to knock out a large portion of a MK18 clone. These guns were originally desired for “close quarter battle (CQB)” but have also been found in other roles because of their compact size. These shorties receive a lot of publicity due to a large portion of the Special Operations Community using them. SEE AT GUNS.COM FROM $1,796

For some cloning is a challenge to build a rifle that is exactly to spec but for others it is a fun way to remember our history and maybe put their own personal twist on it. I would recommend if you start a clone build to not get wrapped up in the specifics of every piece. Some of these components can be extremely rare and take years to find. Above all else, have fun with it and build something you will enjoy shooting.
