Vicious Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 he is starting to trim the fat, no pun intended. he is trying his hardest to assemble a team out of what's left from coach giggles and crap and working around what mess blank and mckay have created by bringing in over the hill free agents who are over paid for what they do. dunn should only be sniffing the field when norwood gets tired. brooking has lost a step and if you watch him he seems to look for reasons not to plug up a hole and for the runner outside where boley or williams can make a play. milloy is getting punked on pump fakes. hall can't keep his mouth shut. alge can't keep himself healthy. the perfect qb for this system fights dogs, and his replacement can't throw the ball past 10yrds effectively. his o-line was starved the last few years and couldn't pass block to save their lives. what would you do if you were put in that situation? i think he's done a pretty good job so far. this team is gonna be very competitive when he gets his players in here so back off and give the man a chance. look what he has to work with, a bunch of drama queens who are undisciplined and soft from having a soft ex-coach and owner who gives them too much say so. hopefully blank learned not to be so soft and free spending from the mike v experience. it's time some of those vets hit the road or start respecting their coach and executing the schemes instead of trying to inflate personal stats.

Bartkowski Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 i have been wondering if this wasn't was gonna happen. tear it down & start over. i think that it is a good idea. get rid of the dead weight & the "me" players & build a real team. go bobby go.

birdofprey7 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 i have no problem with what he did.....when was the last time you saw the patriots players complaining and moaning? it's breeding professionalism and a work ethic that is dedicated to a philosophy of "you're either with us or against us". personally, i like the approach...if a player is a problem, get rid of 'em. if they don't want to be here, great...leave, no matter how good a player is, there is always someone better and they are one play or one season away from being left behind.case in point:larry johnsonshaun alexanderi like petrino's approach...he wants professional men, not meangelo babies.i think i just nutted on myself!!!

Vicious Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 it's ridiculous how impatient some people are. the only reason mora did so well his first year is because he had a team that was built up by reeves with quality players. then he starts to get rid of those players and brought in some of his guys and you see what the result of that was. now bp has to get rid of those overpaid drama queens and bring in quality serviceable guys who will buy into the scheme and execute it starting with that sorry excuse for an o-line and a scat back trying to play a power back.

Vicious Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 blank needs to harden up and quit catering to the players every demand and start caring more about winning. deangelo needs to be disciplined for his comments especially the one's about him being only in it for the money and questioning his coaches. everybody hear would be fired if we called our boss out to the press and talked about making more money somewhere else. that was as big a slap in the face of blank as what mora said about taking the uw job right then and there if it was open in the middle of the season. there needs to be a huge attitude change around the branch and it may come at the expense of a few jobs. good!

blueboy50 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 i agree take a look at the the young first year coach in pittsburgh. he didn't try to right the ship he just took over the job steering it.come on...you're smarter than that! he's doing exactly what mora was called in to do...take a team with playoff potential, and hopefully steer them to some success. we had some potential when mike was playing qb because he helped to disquise our ol faults. the running game success and top helped keep the defense off the field... thus hiding other faults in the secondary. bp would be steering this ship in much the same way as in pittsburg...if mv were playing. but he's not guys. without him, it's time for some constructive change. and i am all for someone who has the guts to to rebuild a program that we can be proud of (not just fans) but truely proud of, for a long time. there's no reason we can't have the same success being enjoyed by the elite clubs, but we are going to have to make some big changes first.go get'em bobby!

mikeghc Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 i agree, if jackson wasn't doing his job of taking on 2 blockers then i'm glad he's gone.which is what we first heard, and indeed if true, then he needs to be gone. from what i read in bp's statement about it being a football decision, that too makes sense. coleman returns, lewis is playing well, you don't need all 3, so who's expendable? just too bad the trade deadline passed.

egoprime Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 tell ne again. how well did we do the last half of last year? not well at all, and a major contributor to our second half record the last two season was injuries, particularly to our defense. the vast majority of winning teams in the nfl have good defenses, our team has been too beaten up the last two seasons. taking a look at this season, the only significant injury on our d has been coleman, but even then our d has played decent, well enough to win. its our offense that is dragging us down. obviously.
