John Fox's greatest decisions


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

What do you think?

* Drafting Peppers

* Starting Peete over Weinke in first season (established conservative, win with defense MO)

* Keeping Kasay over Shayne Graham

* Replacing Peete with Delhomme after one bad half

* Letting Trgovac go finally, replacing him with Meeks

* Letting Henning go finally (hey, that's what the fans wanted)

* Letting Crossman go finally

Trgo was one of the meanest people I think ever worked for the Panthers.

With that said, of the few times I met him he was really nice to me.

Had some good conversations with him.

Not sure why. Guess I just had that "it" factor.

Maybe I should play QB.

He hated kids, though, it seemed.

I like his decision to clap when our team fumbles....

Actually, Fox's loyalty to his players and his tendency to encourage them no matter the situation is one of the things that has made him successful. Most of his players over the years have loved him. When you love your coach you will play a lot harder for them than for some dick who freaks out everytime you make a mistake. These are professional athletes, they don't need someone yelling at them to let them know that they shouldn't fumble the ball.

Yeah. He and Henning were opposites. Henning was a friendly old guy who had all the confidence in the world. He'd flat out tell you if he had enough talent on hand or not. Trgo seemed to be afraid of what everyone thought of him. And he carried it around with him, too. But you'd never hear him rip one of his players.

We, the fans, asked for Henning's head for so many years because of what we deemed as his anemic offense.

In comes Davidson, and many are calling for his head because of what we deem as an anemic offense.

Did anyone watch the Dolphins/Jets game last night? Jets have a pretty decent defense. Was that an anemic offense?

The problem IS Fox/Hurney.

    • Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.
    • Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
    • The salary cap is the reason we got Phillips and Lloyd
