Hardy Seemed Upset About Something Tonight


Black

Recommended Posts

Might be a pointless thread, but I was 16 rows up tonight so I had a good view of the bench area.  During warmups, Hardy jogged off to the bench while everyone was doing drills, slammed his helmet down on the bench, and ran back onto the field without it, looking upset about something.  

 

He also sat by himself on the bench once the starters came out, away from everyone else, while everyone else hanging out talking with their position-mates.

 

Probably nothing, but something I noticed.

I noticed how distracted he looked in game too. He's not having a lot of fun right now between the lines. It has to be hard to play a game in his situation. Even the most focused players have issues staying productive and not letting the weight of a contract year weigh on them. Throw in his conviction and you have a recipe for a dangerously disappointing season. It's going to be an uphill climb for 76 this season. It's good that we're seeing some positive signs from the rest of the rotation.

WHAT!? Hardy has not struggled this preseason at all, so I don't know what would make you think he's going to have a disappointing season. Hardy owned Fisher.

maybe its because a nation full of people are judging him before a full trial and the fact that the media mentions it every time theyre talking about the Panthers.

 

Maybe the sitting alone part, but that doesn't explain him leaving his helmet on the sideline while everyone else warmed up.

    • I guess i have to add I am curious as well as to what Tepper has done that shows he has backed off.  Thats not a hard ask.  I guess I am in a holding pattern of what to believe until the wheels come off again.  Not saying thats going to happen but there is more data out there to suggest it will vs a turn around.
    • Never a fan of him for us but this is compete BS. Teddy seems like a good dude. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45740176/teddy-bridgewater-suspended-miami-northwestern-coaching-job
    • Running or being able to run the ball allows you to control the game. You control the pace, score, and time of possession. It does also allow your defense to rest and when they do get on the field, go 100%. That in turn forces the opponents offense not have 3 and outs. That's huge pressure, if the other team is just running the ball while having 14 plays drives.  If you are able to get 3.5 yards a carry and mix in smoke routes that gain similar while allowing the clock to run......you control the game.  Deal is nearly all rules changes in the 25 years have helped the passing part. Young folks and gambling folk want to see 37-45 scores. Those 10-16 score teams are poison and toxic, I don't care personally just win. I can enjoy a 6-3 slug-out just the same as 50-42.  There just too many factors to go over. Running used to be important for playoff ball, cause it was before half the league got domes. Running the ball in snow, cold, wet conditions was the path. Like NE played in that awful division each for 20 years during the Dynasty run, they normally had the #1 seed and home field. Thats why bill always had a #1 defense and enough offense to win. It was a huge advantage.    I have thought you need to pass in order to score, THEN you must be able to run the ball with 7minutes remaining to keep the other teams offense off the field. But if you're setup to pass and get no experience during the game to try rushing plays, who knows what you can do. So I feel you truly need a balanced attack, that's the key and main goal. Run for first downs went you need too and pass for TDs when you need too.
