By vigorously applying consequence for stupid decisions from day one. Commit a stupid penalty, you’re off the field for at least a series. Commit a backbreaking fumble, on the bench. Miss tackles, lazy angles, whatever… apply consequence. That way every player that walks on the field knows where the fuck they are and are playing smart at their highest effort every play. The first thought in Williams mind walking out as the returner should have been field awareness. The very first thought of a well coached player is awareness of the situation because the coaches instill it and demand it.
Right, but if the player just isn't good... they so stupid things. I can't pick up a guitar and play Zeppelin solos just because my guitar teacher is telling me every day what I need to do or else I'll fail.
Then it’s next man up. All the more reason to show that BS won’t be tolerated, you have plenty of disposable players that you don’t have to worry about losing at the end of the season. The trash can take itself out at that point.
We could have drafted a CB to fill the gaping hole but didn't. We focused on offense which improved at the detriment of the defense. Also Saleh and duct tape got more production out of the same players.
Well we DID draft a CB I think in the 3rd round…the feedback was that he was a bit slow But at this point, put him in and see if he can do better…what the fuck is there to lose?
Yeah, I’ve been thinking about some version of this as well…you can’t pull out an OL if he commits a holding call here or there, or a CB if he gets flagged for PI, so it’s not always cut and dried, but if you fumble? Shit yeah…go sit on the bench for a quarter and think about what you did. As to the KR, I’d have cut his worthless ass just like we did Gipson. Next man up is easy in that case. But this dude not only fumbled but then fair caught a punt on our own 2? Time to go see about a new team. No, you can’t cut or bench everyone, but for guys who are more consistently dumb or overly penalty prone, you can bench them for a series, for a quarter, for a game, depending on who they are and who the next man up would be. Gotta do something to get the message across
Comon...next man up really... these players are bad and not smart it shows. If they are 1st stringers, your going to puy in their back-up? Glad your not coaching this team... Just accept the fact that their players blow and as others have stated, they get told what they should be doing but do not have the capacity to execute it. I am as disgusted as you and others, how do you think Glenn feels watching these fools?
I do accept that they suck. I don’t accept that they don’t understand football. Bullshit. That’s coaching.
