Game Balls, Game Goats & FU's...........................vs Clowns......

Great read on new head OL coach, Chris Morgan. Perhaps there's a silver lining here...

If they were to use this scheme- Green would be just fine as a guard in this scheme.
 
You better be carful because my BULLDOGG in new mexico has borrowed one of my KAYAKs and he has water-way to Canada................. I'm joining him as he comes by my house but only as a navigation specialist and once at your place just to meet yaz. Once the introductions are made I'm borrowing your kitchen to make some PIZZA while you and the DOGG share ideas.

Share ideas? How’s that pizza coming along?
 
My question is why now ? I realize our illustrious OL coach has left the building but if this guy was in the wings........... why wait till now? We've been having OL problems since game 2. It was said around gae 4 that the OL en wern't able to handle audibles so coaching was forbidding BEN to audible out of plays

It's almost like LeGlue, we have problems but can't fix until we are down to these guys. If our 3rd string OL or OL coach is better than the starter why the hell aren't they moved up and used? Poor talent evaluation.

Coach Cowher was a pretty good talent evaluator but also he surrounded hiself with good / better talent evaluators with out fear of someone being smarter/better than him and it paid off.

Could we do worse than Coach Tomlin,.... hell yes but he also isn't this GOD gifted coach that I hear so much about. To many basic coaching 101 things happening.

Look
If you had
One shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?
Yo

Claypool still has all the physical attributes. He needs to get with a good WR specialist immediately after the season. He needs a jugs machine and he needs to join DJ with the tennis ball daily routine. That will help him focus on catching those damn contestable catches. I know Ben throws him balls in wierd spots but when he gets his hands on them, he should catch the majority of them. He is strong enough to do it. This was his sophomore slump. A little maturity and specialty work this offseason and I am still hopeful he can be a damn good player for us. I'm certainly not writing off a physical freak like him after 2 years. Not a chance.
 
Our 2 best wins were over the Browns and we played well, but its still the Browns. Cle had a horrendous offensive game plan everyone from the announcers to TJ seemed confused. You have a dinged up QB, are playing against the worst run D in the league, have one of the best RBs in the game, and the Steelers were missing both starting MLBs so you decide on a pass heavy offense. Makes no sense at all.

Game Ball: Najee, Watt, Heyward, Highsmith, Oline (addition by subtraction). I'll put Ben on here just for sentimental purposes.
Cleveland OC: For not running 90% of the time

Goats: Claypool. About ready to cut the cord with him. Guy has talent, but has severely regressed and is becoming a mental case already. Some days he will make great contested catches, other times he just runs and falls. Not sure what the issue is.

Harvin: Feel bad for the guy, but new punter is killing it. The one from the endzone that was almost blocked and he got it to the 50 was impressive.

Announcers: The whole MNF thing on espn is just bland. The audio always seems odd to me and the announcers have 0 personality.

FUs: Bush, Green for being so crappy that 2nd / 3rd stringers look 100% better. Tomlin just for throwing out players based on pedigree in previous games
 
I agree. Emotions need to be put aside. The game was ugly. The offense has been tough to watch all season long.


Run blocking looked really improved last night
Run blocking improved once Coach Klemm left??? Unpossible!!!

JC is a Bama product keep him at the C. Green needs to hit the gym and get some peanut butter sammiches - move him to G.

Thank you, Ben. I cannot say anything more than what has already been expressed.

Now, I fully expect a win in Baltimore on Sunday and Trevor Lawrence needs play like a #1 draft pick - Indy could be resting their starters since they've clinched.

The Chargers and Raiders could put and end to the season should they tie. If they do, they both advance to the playoffs. If they don't...

We're in the big show.

The Colts will not be resting anybody, because at 9-7 they have not clinched anything.

I'm pretty sure the Colts need a win and they are in but we need a win and a Colt's loss to get in.
