No.. Reserves need playing time. But saved 9 beers at happy hour! Am occupied for bit.
No.. Your opinion is valid.But with 4minutes left and a score of 42 to 16? Great Game Hawk Players. Headed in right direction.
He’s a center so I doubt it. Feel for the game isn’t a trait that runs in the ferentz family. They are lunch pail all the way. No one allowed in games unless you practice a million times without incident
First and foremost I'd like to think they are worried about doing what'll help them win the game they are playing.
You know what ... that could be part of it too. A lot of our players on O are still pretty young ... they can learn from each and every rep they get. Thus, game reps let them put up film on themselves that they can learn from. More importantly, it's against a different D ... so it forces them to have to adapt accordingly too.
Valid comment. I'm sure you would say the same if Stanley, Hockenson, Wirfs, Jackson, etc, were injured with the game in hand. Great opportunity for the backups to get some snaps blown. Only negative event of the day.
Wholly disagree. My big peeve in past years is how little the offense has worked on their sets and plays in real games. Too often the coaches have gone into a shell when we get a lead, instead of letting the top guys work on their timing and teamwork and cohesion and working out kinks. This is also part of the 'dont put things on film' versus 'work on stuff' argument. Often in the past, the coaches reign everything in and don't show stuff only to have execution on those things fail at key times. I'd rather they keep the oddball plays off film, but work on everything else as much as possible with the top guys. That is especially teue now that we are apparently moving to a more pass oriented offense...practice makes perfect.
