Phillips is least of their problems--he only is the DC--with a HC title. Jerry Jones runs that clown show and that arrogant little orphan Annie mofo Jason Garrett is their biggest problem on the coaching staff. Imagine a Princeton grad who coaches and gets too caught up in trying to outsmart people and thinking you get more credit then if you just go after an opponent with your strength until they stop it? Whoops--wrong place to point this out. Of course there's no evidence that JT3 would rather "look smart" instead of win games, but that's typical RDF logic for you. And anyone is going to look bad when your tackle is so inept he has to go John Cena on Orakpo on the last play. When you have an area/matchup you can exploit repeatedly and choose to ignore that to run your "system"--that is being stubborn. When you repeat that scenario for years--you are either mentally inept or arrogant. I credit the gentlemen for being intelligent so I choose to call it arrogance. Intelligence in sports is keeping things simple--i.e. acquire/recruit talented athletes, devises a system around THEIR abilities that lets them perform to a level and when changes are made--you adjust to allow THEIR abilities to give you best chance to win. Coaches who are arrogant ignore the formula as they can't give up the control/power to allow the athletes to shine. If you are a great coach--you have great players. Some say "well it's easy for that guy to coach, because.." and they list numerous talent advantages as to why they win-and it all goes back to "If I had that type of talent, i'd win too"--well go get it. There are plenty of talented players out there-but thing is-when you get the talent--you better not be afraid to let it shine. Now why this happens? Ego? Control freak? Ignorance? All I can say is that if want to run a system--recruit to it--and don't waste time chasing guys who will not fit/or you will limit their game. If you have matchup advantages that are going to hurt your opponent-you use it. Biggest mistake most coaches make--they try to strive for "balance" (especially in football) and they go away from what works. It's specifically III's biggest weakness--in games where teams can't matchup with Hibbert/Monroe--they should put their butts in the post and punish them. When you play less athletic teams--run them off the court and just play. When you force a system and balance on a game--you aren't using your advantages. Adjustments are what coaches should do on a gameday--but gameplanning is simple--look for areas you have advantages--and exploit it--and do it until your opponent adjusts. Guys like Jason Garrett don't do that--they want to prove how smart they are--and 80% of college coaches are complete control freaks who will not change what they do--even when they ask for outside help, or go observe Professional teams, etc..... Remember--most coaches are former players and what is scary is how a lot of talented people in their sports have no concept of how to evaluate talent or understand how to keep it simple--they just think far too much. If someone can't stop you--keep attacking them until they force you to change. If someone isn't as good as you--just go out and play and wipe them off the court. If you don't want to have burden of chasing elite athletes--then recruit to your system--but you better recruit to a level that maximizes your system (i.e. Georgetown has to go BIG) or change the expectations. You can't run a program in Major D1 like an Ivy League program--it won't hold up. You can't run the Princeton Offense with a small ball team--it's a complete failure. You can't win an NFL game if you insist on forcing balance to a game when it's not needed. Doesn't take an Ivy league education to understand and if anything--the simple man is the PHD in sports world. That meaning the guy who judges with his EYES and not his ears. Far too often we let others influence what makes a "Great" coach/player/team and facts are just watch-the results speak for itself. Realize a lot of people just follow teams for personal enjoyment and that is great, but if you have questions as to why things don't work--it's really not that hard--just watch and go back and see what works/what doesn't work in a game, season, career, etc...and it's really not that complicated and certainly not as much as the majority of coaches make it seem to help them save face when they lose. Coaches preach about competition as to why they mess up--but it's really fear, arrogance, and stupidity and usually centered around fear of losing control. They are control freaks who need to get the credit/absolve the blame, too arrogant to understand the players are most important aspect of of their job, and too stupid to realize it until they are replaced.

I am soooooo stupid.
For some reason, I looked at the Charger/Chief game and figured it should be an easy win for the Chargers. I totally ignored the fact that, as sure as the sun rises in the east, the Chargers under Norval Turner (aside - isn't Norval Shaggy's name from Scooby Doo?) will start the season by coming out and crapping the bed. Way to go, Chargers. Fool me thrice, and I'm an idiot.

Norv Turner is the Typhoid Mary of football coaches.
Not only will the Chargers almost certainly not win a Super Bowl under his watch, like every other team that he has coached, the Chargers will definitely be left in far worse shape than they were when he got there.
That being said, they'll probably still win their division.

So what's so wrong with Clinton Portis sharing his thoughts on what he perceives to be human nature? You put a person in a room full of nude word class athletes of the opposite sex, and they're likely to have thoughts other than their profession.
Is he just considered a jerk for saying it? "You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an a$$hole."

Portis is correct and in all honesty--I've never understood why reporters need to be in the lockerroom after a game anyways--just conduct postgame stuff on the field/court and give them access and let players have privacy in lockerroom.

I'm sorry, what did Portis say? I wasn't paying attention. I was too distracted looking at this. Sweet Jesus! Are you freaking serious?? Shakira just looked at that and said, "Daaaaaaaammmmnnnn..."

The idea is that, immediately afterwards, people are more candid and give better interviews than Nuke Laloosh. The problem I've had with Inez is that she's not a reporter - she's designed as a distraction (anyone who disagrees can take a look at the picture where she measures Tom Brady's biceps). Erin Andrews is fundamentally different - she's pretty, and she does Dancing with the Stars, but, when she's on the job, she asks head coaches the same inane questions that every sideline reporter does. She's a reporter and Inez isn't.

Can we split this into two threads, please?
1. Message board slapfights with tough guy language backed up by...nothing.
2. Photos posted by Boz. (Keep up the good work!)
I'll be behind Door #2.

Actually you did--my original post in this thread was strictly about Garrett and how he's an awful OC and to blame and you responded by placing blame on Alex Barron--who btw was allowed on last play of game to block Orakpo 1 on 1 while Marion Barber went out for a 2 yard pass route on last play of game that would've resulted in him making a bee line for out of bounds as he's gone from physical to "I better stay around and collect most of that $ I got" mode. Garrett and III share some similarities too-to what extent is up to you--but can't say they don't.

While I am never in a bad mood when the Skins go down in flames (even more so when they blow a 17-point lead to do so), I am really continuing to have a tough time with this ice the kicker strategy.
Yes, it is perfectly legal. And yes, I appreciate gamesmanship. Moreover, I don't know that there is a fair way to stop this strategy by rule. Teams have to have the ability to call a timeout right up until the ball is snapped. At any point in the game, on offense or on defense.
It's just something about seems so damn bush league. I really don't know why I feel that way. It's not like someone cheated -- or faked an injury, like getting hit by a pitch -- to gain an advantage.
It just seems skeezy.
On the other hand, coaches have been doing this for a few years now. By this time, kickers really need to be prepared for the fact that they may have to kick twice. Even if I don't like it, it's legal and within the rules, so adapt.
In other news, Baltimore puts up yet another stinker against the Bungles. This is becoming an annual ritual.

I feel compelled to direct all of them to this story from just a couple years ago- sports.outsidethebeltway.com/2007/12/coach-joe-gibbs-blunder-wins-game-for-buffalo-bills/There are truly no limits to the hate I feel toward the "fans" of this franchise, easily the absolutely most ignorant fanbase in America.

I'd like to see it eliminated. It's stupid.
At least the refs shouldn't cater to it -- get in position on the field.
