Taking first team reps at today's Als practice. Gotta hand it to the Als, Pipkin didn't have a great game & now they bench him? Kid isn't even given the chance to redeem himself. If he struggles, put in Manziel. If not, keep playing him. They're destroying Pipkin's confidence because Kavis was stupid enough to mortgage the future for the next 2 seasons. If it was me, I wouldn't bench him. At least not yet. I think he deserved one more game to get back on track.
Mark Stephen pbp man of the Stamps tweeted this morning that Davaris Daniels has a broken shoulder. Likely done for the year. Stamps strongly considering bringing in Bakari Grant. But not us.
To win a championship is a goal of every team President, GM, HC & players. Not everyone does. Coaches are hired to eventually be fired if they don't perform. You can't say Miller lied. I'm sure he's worked very hard but so far it hasn't worked out. I don't hold that against him. I really don't care what Miller said as they all say that.
Tim Burke didn't say it outright but he sure showed it. Whether it was the sad eyes or just shrugging his shoulders when asked if he had any answers as a head coach. The 2013 season couldn't come soon enough to put him out of his misery.
As you say, we go away from what works & the offense goes into a shell. We have a run game going & then inexplicably stop using it. Misdirection works & then we go away from it. We become conservative in situations where we need to be aggressive & cute with stupid trick plays that don't work when we need to be physical. We throw short on second down & rely on the athletic ability of our receivers to get a first down. We refuse to stretch the field vertically. Yes, it does come down to LaPo.
