No. Our OL is full of panzies...
That made me so mad. Nobody stood up for him. NO REACTION AT ALL. Just watched it and walked to the sidelines. That's pathetic.
How hard is this to figure out? I mean we can't run block. We can't pass block. For years now. And how many changes have been made? Pathetic.
Well, prior to this year, there was all kinds of speculation and conjecture that the rest of the team hated Carr, and therefore never stuck up for him. Now, I don't know.
QFE x several years. There are more than a few of us who have been saying that very thing for a while now.
Yes, but I was generally considered a pessimist this off-season - I couldn't see all the good things in store this year.
I should have checked first...i started another thread saying the same thing u just said. Someone should remind Mr Mcnair this is football.
I am one that has now turned y'alls way...starting with the Mario pick. I'm ready for us to continue on the other side of the ball and build up both lines strong. If we can dominate w/ both our lines and 'win through the trenches', we'll win a lot more games. Considering we still have a ways to go untill we're a consistent playoff team....why not build the OL and DL up...so that we can then select the skill positions that will excel from the start.
I noticed that as well . It kinda made me a bit mad .
I don't care if it is DeMeco coming off the bench and starting some ****. Something needed to be done there. I think that play means more than people think. How do you think Schaub feels about it? That's like getting into a fight at a party and your friends stand and watch guys take cheap shots on you.
That was always an idiotic position to take. Players get paid on how they look on game film...they won't devalue themselves due to some dumb grudge.
theoretical grudge
In the old days they would have planted their QB .
Oh, I totally agree. Just pointing out the irony.
I know this isn't the PC thing to post , but I'm with you. old school. And I realize it was a clean hit....technically, someone should of had the guy in the dirt tring to rip the guys larnyx out. And further tried to kill anyone who was tring to pull him off the guy while he was tring to rip it out. MS's fault. first thing you learn playing football got a change of possession, either get in the middle of it or get away from it. You wanna watch, buy a ticket. He should of known better. A clear brain fart on MS's part. But agreed would of like to see that guy on the ground with his larnyx hanging out. Old school. They do it because we let them rough up J.J. durring the clots game.
thats 5 yards baby. move em back.
It was a false start on # 69 . lol
I wouldn't call Schaub a pansy, but I will agree with you on Carr. For all of his faults (and there were a lot of them, to many for him to be our starter) he was tough as nails.
I agree in part but in reality, at least the last 2-3 years, I wasn't sure if Carr was tough, or it was just the fact that he never stood in there and took big shots. Emmitt Smith used to be great and turning so that no one got a clean shot at him. Many times Dave would be in his protective shell before guys even got to him. But he had a good injury record.
The only scary injury I remembe Emmitt ever having was a hit on his noggin he took in Chicago and I'm not even sure I remember anybody hitting him...he jumped over a pack of players at the goal line and ended up landing on his head/neck. He had that "no feeling" sensation for a few seconds I think but I do believe he played the next week.
Not soft......."Nice guys"......per the marketing department. You know what they say about nice guys.......
You summed up how I have felt for awhile. Its like watching a team resign guys that haven't done a thing but the team thinks, "this is the year" or "he offers us X, even though he doesn't give us Y or Z." (say Astros with Lane or Everett, etc) You never break that mold so no one knows what could happen. I just get tired of hearing "he works hard, give him/them time." After Year 5, fans don't have time. They want results. Its almost like they look at it as if we are in a never ending expansion mode and that people should have patience. I have none and am tired of watching the same results.
if you WATCHED the game he was hit AFTER an interception, so most players were moving towards ball not looking back. I guess you would have preferred us getting offsetting penalties costing us yardage
If you want an honest answer...at that point in the game and how it was going...I'd much rather have seen someone go knock the guys block off. It would have been the one highlight. Remember George Teague when TO ran to the star at Texas Stadium?Mad respect for that hit. Show some heart and take up for the QB.if you WATCHED the game he was hit AFTER an interception, so most players were moving towards ball not looking back. I guess you would have preferred us getting offsetting penalties costing us yardage
I guess people have short memories when making a point. Earlier in that same game Winston had to be restrained from fighting with Bullock and from confronting the official the first time Schaub was hit.
I would like a mean streak on every down not just when the QB gets popped .
So now we are back to being seers who know the hearts of all men? Couldn't be that Pitts or whomever is over anxious to hit his guy or that a dumb penalty is just that, being dumb. Naah, it has to be fear.
I totally agree with the majority.
Hunter Smith gets away with an unneccesary shove. Our team doesn't respond.
Jax runs over us physically on both sides of the ball. Our team lays down.
Haynesworth pile drives our QB into the ground. Our team does nothing.
Florence blindsides our QB with a dirty hit. Our team lays down.
Soft? That doesn't even cover it.
Mario is the posterboy of SOFT
The whole offensive line - SOFT. Spencer had a mean streak, and he would have cracked Florence's skull. The rest of these guys should appear in a charmin commercial.
