Re: Maile's response to Shelley's mom

Well fighting with your teammates is a good reason Cussing out your coaches another Acting like a spoiled brat on the sidelines, pouting and isolating himself while the whole team is struggling would be good My favorite:: not throwing the ball to a player(s) because you dont like him and letting th...

Re: Will our O Line block better.....

Linemen need to have a good feel for what a QB or rb is going to do. We've had QBs in the past who were all over the place back there, and they tended to get sacked a lot. There's the effect of a QB's demotivating the line by behavior, of course, but we don't even need to go there. Fact is, JS and ...

Re: If another quarterback is decent

We have tried two of them so far this year. Shelly hasn’t worked out yet, and Peasley needs more time to ...
