ESPN First Take on now, Deangelo, J-Stew coming up

I watch ESPN First Take in the morning before I leave to work, and right before I had to turn off the TV to leave they hit me with the "Stay tuned, Deangelo Williams and Jonathon Stewart with us next". To which my response was to check my watch, pause for a length of time, and exclaim "Damnit!".

I'm sure the vid will be up on ESPN sometime this week.

I really hope they mean it when they say they are going to work harder this season.

I think what makes this different from 05 is that when we lost the NFCCG it was due to injuries and we were going up against a powerhouse seattle squad.

This season we were favored but got our asses handed to us by a team that simply wanted it more. I think that definatley bruised their egos enough that they now have something to prove which is nice in a way. Due to that ugly loss it's almost like we finished 8-8 instead of 12-4.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
