Q. Talk about running the ball up the middle on four straight plays near the goal line and coming up empty.

"We don't want sideways runs. We want to get across the goal line. I don't think that's abnormal. Good teams run and are successful. We expected to get it."

Q. How's the offense line playing?

"1-3. Like I've coached, like the offense, the defense and kicking teams have been."

you know how different an answer it would be if you replaced "offensive line" with "Delhomme"?

If running up the middle didn't work the first 3 times, what the f*ck makes him think that it will on the 4th try?

[Jangler]

odds are odd.

Q. How's the offense line playing?

"1-3. Like I've coached, like the offense, the defense and kicking teams have been."

This is the best answer I've ever seen him give, actually, which isn't saying a lot but hey.

If running up the middle didn't work the first 3 times, what the f*ck makes him think that it will on the 4th try?

Because it eventually works sometimes. If you get 1 foot each time and you are 4 foot from the goal-line, guess what you get on the 4th down run?

After 8 years, why does anyone expect anything of value from John's press conferences?

you know how different an answer it would be if you replaced "offensive line" with "Delhomme"?

Better? you put an average QB behind this OLine, and you see what we get. You put Brady behind this OLine and you still get a bad result. We've seen these examples everywhere this season, even on different teams, and even past year examples. Brady fuged up a lot when pressured.

OLine... is a correct statement. Delhomme, is not. Granted he f**ked the Moose interception and almost had another to Smith in the endzone. I'm not taking that away or saying Delhomme is a great QB.

But you won't find any better results with a better QB behind this line. There is no pocket, no protection, and no push for a run game. You would need Superman behind the line in that case.

When he gets protection, he's done a decent job.

[top dawg]

The only thing that I learned of any importance is that Mike Goodson's nickname is Goody.
