Are you guessing that the source was Mims, or do you have proof? Personally, I think SOB just made that shit up.
Just guessing it's hard for any QB to be a humble nice guy. Arnt these guys treated like kings all the way from when they enter HS as QB1??? Then what 4,5,6 years then treated as the next coming when they reach the NFL. As long as their dickhead ass arrives at work first thing in the morning and works harder than the rest of the team, I couldn't care if he wasn't everyone's best pal.

Right on BrowningNagle. What was said was no worst than a lot of people said about Christain Hackenberg, Geno Smith, Ken O'Brien, and Richard Todd. Also, I guess a lot of people have amnesia when Keyshawn Johnson blasted Wayne Chrebet. Do you know who said nothing about the book quotes? Bill Parcells.
I don’t think it was hero ball at all. But I think the miscommunication element of the play stems from the QB sneak is always a baked in option on short yardage plays nearly regardless of who the QB is if they see it as a viable opportunity to get the first down. The staff didn’t communicate to him that they wanted him to run the play as called no matter what. What makes it egregious by Saleh & friends (not Wilson) is that they called a timeout and didn’t tell him that or so it appears.
I’ve been interested in the verbiage of NFL play calls. In this instance why just call the handoff to Berrios? I’m guessing these calls have 2/3 options baked into them. When Wilson calls an audible, aka hands to the ears, the playcall changes, everyone communicates that it’s changed and the play is ran. Would a signal change the call to the handoff to Berrios or is it something that Wilson and Berrios only needed to know? Berrios runs across the motion and just expects the ball even if he doesn’t get it…
Yes. Berrios isn't aware of the option/audible. He will run the motion expecting the handoff 100% of the time.
I have to be honest about this... I love the whole SNY panel. I love their very no nonsense, no BS excuses way of critiquing the team. That's truly the way it should be. However, what everyone on the panel had to say about Zach following the Bucs game was quite something else. I really don't understand wth that was. It's obvious they spouted off without realizing they were having an "open mouth insert foot" moment. I think all of that rant should be taken with a grain of salt and some may say.... " consider the source".....
They ran the reverse to Berrios earlier on that same drive. They thought the Super Bowl defense was gonna get burned on the same trick play twice? It was terrible coaching all around.
I mean, if we watch the play it's pretty clear that Berrios would've converted had he gotten the ball. Was probably even open enough to get it into the endzone.
Always looks like that but NFL defenders close in quickly. Watch a football game from the endzone seats, its fascinating
I don't know about character flaw however Zach Wilson has done a lot of doing what he wants to do instead of just doing what he is asked to do. That 4th and 2 stands out as yet another "gonna do it my way and put the game in my hands" type moment in a season full of them. All he had to do was the "boring thing" and hand the ball off on the end around and he'd have accomplished the task he was given. I can't speak for Bart Scott but I have had my fill of watching Zach do what he wants to do instead of doing what he is asked to do. He's drained that account in my view and is overdrawing it every time he goes off script.
Couldn’t agree more. Awful bias take, unsubstantiated and dead wrong to boot. That issue was put to bed by the entire coaching staff.
Wilson has spent every game since he came back from injury doing the boring things instead of the flashy things. It's been a stark departure from what he was doing pre-injury.
Bart Scott is an idiot when it comes to football and life. For example, The Patriot way was about Brady, not Belichick. Patrick Mahomes is the “worst thing” that happened to the NFL. It’s hard for a black guy to turn pale. I turned pale, man. His stupid rant on the Bengals running up the score on the Ravens, about “killers” and “red dots” and implied the Ravens will now be out for blood against Burrow in the coming years. His stupid comment about Eli Manning and CTE The best one is when he said about the Patriots: Because, as we all know, “they’ve never made a Super Bowl when they had to go on the road at any point.” Obviously, this is fake news from this idiot. Why ESPN will not fire this bufoon is a mystery to me.
You can read between the lines and this has been possible all season long. The coaching staff was obviously frustrated with Zach's conduct on the field earlier in the year. However they have been more circumspect since then, probably realizing that there was no benefit to calling Zach out publicly - even with veiled statements - if he was not listening to what they were saying privately. The spontaneous "Mike White!" chants in the locker room were a canary in the coal mine on this issue. You and I may not know the details of the play calls but the players definitely do.
