I rage against Spaz's prevent, Tranquill's third and two and red zone calls and, well, the flag girls at half time (WTF?). But, I think all this throwing Spaz and Tranq under the bus is way premature and undeserved. We've got a very good shot at an 8-4 season; anyone who expected more than that a year ago was on acid.mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-22966738367338869432009-11-23T20:11:24.582-05:002009-11-23T20:11:24.582-05:00There is world of difference btw being the boss, #...There is world of difference btw being the boss, #1, and being #2, whether it be in sports, biz, medicine, govt etc<br /><br />Leading vs following.

But how does the guy go from defensive genius - and the defense has been the strength of this team since he's been here - to being someone with a confidence problem? just 'cause he isn't a Jags-like cheerleader doesn't mean he's not a good head coach.Was Jags really a good HC for the program? Obviously, not (and I liked/like the guy). <br /> Heck, it looks like we're exceeding expectations this season and recruiting well too. <br />Anyway, my point is, if he was the defensive coach, and the defense on this team has never quit, why all of the sudden is he a quitter as HC? He's not.blisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738621049003351937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-45358808907947932662009-11-23T16:41:15.507-05:002009-11-23T16:41:15.507-05:00John excellent point.

Spaz needs to teach his players -- to use a cliche -- to play 60 minutes of football and not take out the white flag.<br /><br />He also did something similar in the V-Tech game (sending in the second team when teh game was still very much in reach)) which cost us a score too and was demoralizing to the firt team.<br /><br />Spaz seems to have some confidence issues himself -- does he really believe in his team -- and that's not a good thing in a leader.mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-49440125280776513402009-11-23T16:12:20.671-05:002009-11-23T16:12:20.671-05:00My concern is that, hurt or not, Spaz stuck with S...My concern is that, hurt or not, Spaz stuck with Shinskie until there were five minutes left in the fourth quarter and the game was still within reach. Putting Marsco in was sending the signal to Butch Davis "okay, you've won the game, see you next year." That was my biggest issue with this game. People have said a lot about Spaz rolling over when he doesn't think we'll win and that act says a lot.SaturdaysOnSheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397599362587805623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-4006481314928311672009-11-23T16:02:59.986-05:002009-11-23T16:02:59.986-05:00Did Shinskie have a hurt thumb?

Was that effecting his throwing?<br /><br />If so, why wasn't Masco put in when it was clear Shinkie had no zip on his throws?<br /><br />To me, there was a noticable lessening in Shinskie's usual velocity, and this seemed to make the difference between good throws and bad ones.mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.com
