So Now How Are You Going To Act?

Submitted by Swayze Howell Sheen on
So an epic post a couple down from this one has a clarification on the usage of the term Muggle from none other than one Vincent Smith (I'm going to assume it's really him). Though people say "players read the blogs" somehow it did not quite seem that way (at least to me) until I read that post and his subsequent comments.

So my question: how are you going to act knowing that classy players like him may be reading every word you write on this board?

The only thing that would blow my mind more would be a post from the coaches. Imagine if GMatt corrected a UFR?

I'm more concerned with the players feeling responsible for the coaches having to take so much heat and internalizing it themselves. It does seem like coaching observations outweigh player targeted commentary by an order of magnitude on this blog. And dang, the coaching has been awful, and not being able to comment on that would pretty much reduce the blog to virtually nothing at all.  

My biggest beef is not that the coaches don't know how to coach, they probably know what they know really well. Where they totally screw the pooch is in not adapting their coaching to the talent and instead they go forward with their hard wired beliefs.  I love reading about  poor Al Borges having had to adapt to Denard, and how he made allowances for Denard's talents in HIS scheme.  Whaaaaaat?  Why even F with Denard's talent at all?  He was an extremely rare talent, why couldn't Al just put that shit on hold for awhile and let Denard be himself completely? Whatever.

Back to the topic, the players are simply not fair game, they are one play away from a career ending injury on every snap and are not compensated (outside of scholarships).  Dudes pulling down millions and mid -six figure salaries should be expecting the heat when results are poor.  No big deal about that.
