The inability of some of our coaches to recognize actual talent is becoming legendary. Isn't an inability to recognize what a fullback or a power back can do in non-hitting and non-tackling practices somewhat a matter of common sense?
Why after he tore off a couple of 10-20 yard runs during the first game or two wasn't it obvious enough to get him more carries vs Lameford? Do I just need to accept that our OC is one of the most inexperienced rookies we have? I guess so if he's coming back.
I'm still puzzled by why experienced fans who have some decent fundamental knowledge of the game seem to have better instincts and observational skills than the guy who are actually getting paid to run the team. How do they fail to see what others don't fail to miss?
I dunno, it must be somewhat like trying to understand quantum theory or something but missing out on common sense solutions.
pretty much. look at Jordan's feet when he has the ball and you see enough to know he's got game. Langford is a better receiver, he has speed but his vision sucks.

You know that's long been my point about judging talent. It's far more about watching a player actually play than it is about stats. It's like ever since FF became popular we have the cadre of fans who ONLY go by stats.
If a guy can play the game well the stats will come. I played a lot of baseball and fast pitch softball over the years and coached both as well and I could look at a player in practice and see whether or not they had the fundamentals down or far more or whether they just failed to have even the minimum required skills to play.
Have we lost our ability to even watch a game and tell who can play and who can't?
