CAUGHT IN THE TRAP

CAUGHT IN THE TRAP

 

Thoughts from the mind like a steel trap�

 

-          Hey, everyone�LAY OFF Stewart for a change, fer chrissakes.The man is NOT the most accurate QB on the planet, and he never will be.Check out those skillets that Plaxico wears on his hands if you want to find blame!!Sheez.We fried eggs in Boy Scouts with those skillets!?!!

-          Rollouts?Where are they???MIA in the Mularkey offense.We have the most athletic QB this side of Vick, and all we get is the STALE quarterback draw�and everyone in the stadium knows it�s coming!!Memo to Mike:roll out Stewart.Not once.Like maybe TEN TIMES A GAME, you imbecile!!!

-          The Trap was totally outspoken in his desire to CUT Jerame 2-Man.Trap called for it repeatedly in training camp.NOW � weeks later � need we even ASK the obvious???WHAT FUNCTION does this oxygen-stealer have on this team?Pass catcher???Was there a bigger drop in the Raiduh game than 2-Man�s drop of a 3rd down pass right in his mitts???And people have the nerve to rip on Stewart????WTF?

-          As many have already posted, and as many writers have already written:stopping the 3rd down blues starts directly with eschewing the soft, passive coverage of wide receivers�what point is there in having big, physical cornerbacks when they get stuck in a wussy scheme that has them playing 15-yards off the receivers???Press coverage, supported by blitzing the piss out of the QB, hitting him, and making him THINK about it the next play he goes back to pass.This is very simple, yet the simpleminded on the Cowherd staff get migraines trying to figure it out�?

-          Trap also begged for Simmons to be the right guard from day one.In typical fashion, and just as Trap predicted, the buffoons on the Cowherd staff stubbornly stuck with a fat tackle who has no footwork to play guard.And people actually DEFEND Cowherd�s intelligence???What is that about?

-          Trap is still backing the elevation of Mike Logan to starter.Alexander�s �knowledge� is way overrated�Trap will take speed, ballhawking, and hitting over all of Alexander�s knowledge any day�

-          Everyone seen how wide open the Stiller tight ends have been on every pass that�s been thrown to them?Memo to Mularkey:Keep throwing to them until the defense respects it, you numbskull!Just don�t throw to 2-Man � he can�t catch a Kleenex with flypaper.

-          Can Clements PLEASE teach Stewart how to throw the ball with AIR under it when going deep??Please!Stewart hasn�t thrown a deep ball with a high trajectory since the Michigan game�

-          Josh Miller has Trap�s ire.He punts from his own 10, and shanks a 38-yarder.He punts from the 50 and booms the ball into the endzone�WTF?

-          Let�s ride the Bus against the Brownies.Just pound and pound and pound�with a few bombs to Plex to keep them honest�!

-          BTW,I watched a good bit of the Brownie game, and watched Earl Holmes closely.�� He had a good game.I did, however, feel that he does not get the gaps and fissures in the 4-3 defense that he used to get in the 3-4.I�m thinking that he is suited only for the 3-4 defense, something my esteemed colleague Steel Haven brought up long ago�

-          For anyone who did not read Steel Phantom�s column earlier this week about the Law of Unintended Consequences�please read it.It is incredibly balls on, and meticulously well-written.A MUST READ.
