Dan, you knowledge is much appreciated! I think it also shows some of us lesser knowledge fans just how difficult this game can be on a mental level. Imagine having to make these decisions on the fly in seconds?
Thanks Dan!
Exactly! That's why I try to reiterate that I'm not trying to dump on these guys. I have a tremendous respect for what it takes to play and coach at that level. These guys are elite athletes and even PJ Williams--for as much as I criticize him--has made a place for himself at the NFL table. It's very easy to criticize from afar.
That being said, I have been coaching for a while and I get P'Oed off when I see bad fundamentals or us making the oppositions job easier than it should be. Like I said in another thread, that spectacular 50/50 ball that Hopkins caught over Eli Apple did not bother me. Him beating Lattimore deep on a key reception, just beating him 1-on-1... that stuff happens.
But when I see just bad football in critical situations, the coach in me gets irked. But it also provides material to share and discuss on here. I will definitely post some more positive X&O's stuff later
