Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Player execution, a thing that can doom or glorify.

David Tyree.

One play. The difference between putting your team in position to win a Super Bowl or losing. A questionable player in talent executed the play well, just like the rest of his Offense mates and he made a catch that we will continue to see in highlights of previous Super Bowls for MANY years.

The Giants were lucky that they weren't the 2010 Cowboys...Because they would have found a way to shoot at their own foots...

  • The OLine would have failed to pickup a DLineman, which would rush untouched.
  • Leonard or Gurode would react slowly to a quick move from an interior Lineman.
  • Romo would throw too high or too low.
  • The receiver would fail to make the catch, but would tip the ball, leaving an easy to intercept floating ball.
  • An OLineman is flagged for whatever.
  • An elegible or inelegible pass catcher is flagged for whatever.
  • 12 men on the field flag.
  • They score a TD but allow a kick return for a TD in the next play.

Do you seriously think that a coaching change, right now, will force all those problems to go away? I don't. I don't trust the Coaching staff, but I also have very little trust on the players. Things need to change, but I can't see a short term change, be it forced, or not.

I'll continue to watch and cheer, but I'm thinking about next year.

Argh, football is the most frustrating of sports. The most troubling thing is that on the play in mention, 3 of those things did happen (poor protection, poor throw, and flags that could have been thrown) and yet Manning and Tyree still made the play and still had it count. To win most football games, you have to be both good and lucky. Unfortunately, the 2010 Cowboys haven’t been enough of either.

Player Execution?

As John McKay said, I’m in favor of it.
