Re: EZU discussion
Stupid decision to go for 2 at this point in the game.

Re: EZU discussion
Going for 2 there makes little to no sense. At least not to me, anyway.
We need a big stop here

Re: EZU discussion
I'm not going to say a whole lot about the call as much as I have complained about too conservative over the last year or so

Re: EZU discussion
Hate to be doom and gloom but I don’t see a guaranteed W on the SBC east schedule

Re: EZU discussion
Honest question, doesn't it seem like players are more concerned with getting their celebrations correct than making it back to the line/huddle? I get it when you do something truly special, but it seems like guys are just trying to make highlight reels. Maybe I'm wrong and just becoming an old fart. Just wish I'd see more hustle focused on getting back into position/huddle after a play is over.

Re: EZU discussion
99% of the time I’d tell you that you were old and need to just get over it. However, I’ve seen more than a few instances of App defensive players having to sprint into position because they were too busy celebrating a tackle of a runner who just gained 4 yards.mountainman33 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 4:08 pmHonest question, doesn't it seem like players are more concerned with getting their celebrations correct than making it back to the line/huddle?

You can bark and dance all you want… if you’re clearly better.

Re: EZU discussion
I think it is the old fart mentality unfortunately. I feel the same as you. I still have one in high school. A cheerleader fortunately. If I had a son on our high school football team I would ring his neck. The kids today unfortunately are more about the look at me thing. It's a way different world from growing up in 70's and 80's. Not saying good or bad just different.mountainman33 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 4:08 pmHonest question, doesn't it seem like players are more concerned with getting their celebrations correct than making it back to the line/huddle?

Re: EZU discussion
Good to know it's not just me. If we were rolling and up a ton I'd get it, but they've been slow getting back into position. Granted I haven't played since the late 90s, but my coaches preached hustle back to your position when the O is running tempo.MrCraig wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 4:15 pm99% of the time I’d tell you that you were old and need to just get over it.
