2 Second Rule
No, not the one where we need to make sure that we can count to 2 between us and the car in front of us...the one in football.
As we look at our new QBs with our new defensive philosophy, I'm reminded of an article that I read shortly after Super Bowl LII. This the SB where Brandon Graham strips The GOAT and enable the Eagles to win their only Super Bowl.
I think this is a fantastic article that talks about the 2 second rule - one that I first recall hearing Ron Jaworski talk about several years ago. As Brandon Graham states, “We know we have two seconds or less.” Graham said. “After that, you have to get lucky.”
To me, the 2 second rule is what defines most successful teams (both offense and defense). If the pass rush can consistently force the QB to make decisions in 2 seconds, you'll likely see them make mistakes. Conversely, it is extremely difficult for a defense to consistently react to an offense that makes reads and gets the ball down the field in under 2.5 seconds.
Plus, it's always good to reminisce about UM superstars on the biggest stage.

I thought this was gonna be about how long you have to pick up a piece of dry food off a relatively clean floor.

What are you? A germaphobe? 5 second rule in my house..

I don’t like to set a specific time limit. I think you have to evaluate each drop individually based on how delicious the item is.

We must also consider location. Bathroom floors are exempt and shall result in immediate disposal of all food contents.

Kid in high school dropped a breath mint or something like that on the locker room floor and said “five second rule”. I was like, “I don’t think that applies in here.”

Building antibodies at a young age is a good thing. A fairly clean floor is fair game.

And maybe he built some good antibodies against pube mites and foot fungi.

I literally just dropped two slices of my leftover pepperoni and green olive pizza on the floor in front of the oven.
Fuck it, I'm drunk and hungry enough.

SMH you literally have your own chef

We don't worry about this in our family...most of us are either docs or nurses and we somehow believe that a super-immunity is naturally conferred to us. Really...and this is how my colleagues have always acted as well...the docs are the worst. We are curious creatures.

I thought this was going to be about my sex life
August 13th, 2021 at 7:09 PM ^
at least you're getting 2 seconds
August 13th, 2021 at 7:13 PM ^
The quicker you finish, the quicker you get to go again.

Look at Speedy Gonzales over here.

I knew a guy that had the nickname "the minute man", unbeknownst to him. Heard that one through the girl grapevine.

When we have a bad O-Line, that is about how long our QB has before he succumbs to the rush.
August 13th, 2021 at 6:54 PM ^
Hell man we get delay of game penalties off of kickoffs. How the hell we gonna do anything in 2 seconds?
August 13th, 2021 at 8:17 PM ^
This fact is unfortunately representative of the Michigan offense in the Harbaugh era. The inability to get off a quick snap is perhaps worse than anything done by Don Brown (setting aside last year.)
August 13th, 2021 at 7:12 PM ^
Are we talking 2 Navarre seconds or actual time?

Flashes back to nightmares of a recent former qb vacating clean pockets after 1 second
