Going back to what was said earlier in the thread: Amobi Okoye: We got punched and didnt punch back Brad Davies: Talked about needing to come out today and be physical. Got off to 2-0 start, you were physical. Something different and I didnt see that today. Nowhere to be found today. Amobi Okoye: It's...certain thing in some players that aren't not in other players. Some players..Certain thing in all players. All players, certain aspect or feeling. Some of them/us, you can bring it out on. Some of us, it takes a coach, preferably a player to bring it out. Today, those of us who needed someone else to bring it out, in a sense didnt accept it. You werent ready to accept whatever someone told you to use that as the motivation factor to bring the physicality out of you. And I think that's what happened today. Some players might not wanted to just grow on there own, not knowing that there are certain things you can't do on your own. It will take another player, another coach, another factor to help you out. http://kilt.cbslocal.com/2010/10/10/amobi-okoye-2/
This is the bit I heard. And, the verbal delivery was just as tentative and rambling as the print looks. I got the impression either he was afraid to call somebody out, or he was about to make himself and others look very, very bad and tried to backstep what he saying. I've never seen Amobi so incoherent. He sounded literally preteen.
There should be big, giant flashing lights going off in McNair's mind after two consecutive home performances like that. Forget the comments. Obviously it would be counterproductive to fire the head coach in the middle of the season, but it needs to be an option with Bush, or the secondary coach David Gibbs. McNair also needs to be prepared to cut bait with Kubiak at the end of the season. Mediocrity should not be the goal.
I know this game is over and time to move on but Lance Zierlein went back and broke down how the Giants used scheme to stop the Texans running game .
That's a great blog by Lance thanks for posting. I recall the Moose also noticed it during the broadcast but didn't go into great detail.
Dressen couldn't block for **** in those first 2 clips. That Smith play looks really costly now that you can see what was going on.
Smith definitely loses his temper more than most on the D, but that was a chop block and with the refs now being behind the OL, stuff like that should be called with a lot more consistency. Is Myers really the one that marks blocking assignments? This is the center's duty on all teams?
