Gross places blame on O-line

"I love that guy," said Gross. " He was one of the main reasons I wanted to re-sign here because I love blocking for him and he’s our quarterback. I told him because I knew what happened, that it wasn’t even half on him -- less than half should've been.

:eek:

It was a cream... not pills

I still can't understand how it was the OLine's fault when the coaches didn't adjust for blitz packages of 9 guys attacking the gaps. How are 5 guys supposed to block for 9 rushers? It's simple.. run a two TE set the rest fo the game.. put King on the LTE and Barnidge on the RTE, and have them keep the Guards from getting to Jake up the middle like that.

This is elementary pee-wee football here... with that formation, you can still rush up the middle or bounce it out to the sides, still pass to your WR with a good amount of Play Action going on, and still have those TEs go out in the flats for short dumpoffs if the blitz doesn't come.

Coaches? Hello? Please wake the F up now!

Gross is right but I think Jake also has a responsibility to read the field and make adjustments, go into no huddle if he wants to. Fox's seems to have his back 100% so if he wanted to I'm sure he could call the plays he wants to run. He should take control and he should want control just like the best of them do( Palmer, Brady, Manning, Brees, etc).

    • Happy they won convincingly instead of letting them hang around. Montreal is cooked, and rather than play hockey, they've decided to take some really cheap shots at guys. I get a player may feel a need to set the tone, and I understand how that works. But to 2-hand cross check someone intentionally in the face, to have a guy down on the ice and put his head into the ice with a stick, to just start punching anyone who gets within arm's reach- that's not setting the tone. That is nothing short of playing dirty.  That said, the Canes.... oh boy. They could have run this score to 6-0 with half a power play. It's embarrassing how bad the PP is. If the Canes go to the Cup finals against a team who scores at least 1 goal per game on the PP, they'll lose the close games because of the lack of results on the PP. 
    • Because he knows they are winning the cup. And I fully support his decision. 
    • After Brindamour figured out how to stop that stupid behind the net offense setup Montreal did in Game 1 they’ve been dead to rights. They don’t have an answer and the series is over. I hope Canes fans relentlessly torment Carter Hart about being a rapist so we can win our second cup
