Call it what you want chest beating insecurity whatever. I call what I do here standing up for coaches I know are doing their job. Denigrate? You come here on Christmas day and talk to me about denigration? Try the absolute disguting undeserved denigration of a man like Steve Ensminger. He is just one on many that are denigrated by people here but he is by far the most denigrated. Yes I do denigrate them cause that's when I see how awful they are at understanding football by incessantly trying to destroy a good football coach, a good man and a loyal true Tiger without even a rudimentary idea of what they are seeing You show no skill, no awareness of football and certainly no class by pouncing on me on Christmas day. Shove your denigration up your......... Well it's Christmas so Merry Christmas hypocrite.
True. We often get into 3rd and 12 just to toy with them and when they are expecting a 10+ yard pass, BOOM, we dump it off for a 2 yard gain because around here we know how to punt! Better to give our punter some room than go for the 1st down.
What got Jerry fired was not plays it was partly his pushing his religious views on players and coaches and a complete asshole named Bod Broadhead.
We dumped it off 2 yds cause we have an 18 year old QB who panicks at times professor. You think E called a 2 yd play when he knows we need 12? Do you know anything about a QB checking down If he thinks he can't throw a 12 yd pass?
E clearly gave him the option. For whatever reason. You dont have to have every route 12 yards. Saints often put a guy in space within striking distance. The odds are much greater when, you know, you are closer to your target....
Oh I see E should have said throw and interception instead of throwing a complete pass to a guy who maybe breaks a tackle or the defender falls down and makes that 12 yds. Or maybe The QB panicked and dumped it too early. What do you think?
Brodhead did hire Bill Arnsparger who would have won a natty if he had stayed. And he did hire Skip Bertman. I rest my case
