Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Saw it live. It was totally cringe TV. Blache was in that "I am totally pissed and if you were here I might punch you in the face but since you're not I'll just close my eyes and tear you apart with my mind" modes.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

I was watching that live on Friday night and it was like something out of The Office, it was that awkward. The look on Matich's face was PRICELESS!

In the end is this really a big deal? : )

Blache is bringing grumpy back, my god

Yes it was. I give a lot of credit to Matich for just letting it happen and holding his head. Blache was out of line and should apologize.

No but it is interesting. And we are on a message board where we talk about interesting things. Somehow people seem to miss that around here sometimes.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Was pretty hilarious, especially watching it live. I think in the future anyone asking Blache needs to be ready for anything. The guy has always been a "live-wire", he is brutally honest, and doesnt care if anyone likes it. Gotta love a coach like that, or at least I do.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Maybe a little overboard, but I've grown to like Blache. He's honest.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Hell yeah make reporters think, they ask the same questions. I like Blache and support his reaction.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

I like Blache, he doesnt make excuses and tells it like it is. He doesnt fluff up any stuff. I like a coach that is totally honest and is always looking to get better.

Are you saying Matich deserved it?

Did he deserve it No, but think ask me something different be creative.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

I know someone on this board who might have an opinion on this...

But anyhow, maybe next time I see Matich hanging around my office I'll ask him about it

Have you seen Matich's latest blog post? "Greg Blache is a classy guy...not"

But seriously...this kind of reminded me of the time Brunell got pissed at Czaban when Czabe asked him if he would offer to basically bench himself for the good of the team. But anyway, Blache basically put it out there when he said several years ago that "sacks were overrated" and our pass rush has been suspect so, like it or not, he's going to get questions about our pass rush and how he plans on addressing it. And he's not the reporter asking the questions, so he doesn't have to "throw questions" back at Matich

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Blache's professionalism was like the south end of a northbound skunk.

"Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs! Playoffs?"

I know it was just a heated moment thing but he could have just gotten mad and said so instead of making it a little too personal.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

I saw it on CSN and it was akward. I felt for Matich because I worked with the public for 10 years. In that situation Blache could say pretty much anything he wanted without far of losing his job where Matich was handcuffed by doing his job.

It was much like when I was a desk clerk back i nthe day at a hotel people would treat me like crap and I could not say crap back because I would lose my job.

What would Blache say if Danny asked that question? I am sure it would have been a diffrent answer. Basically I feel like Blache threw a suckers punch because he knew that MAtich could not hit back.

I thought Matich handled it well. Blache has been answering the same questions about sacks for many years and I'm sure he's tired of hearing it but there's a reason he hears it so much. He heard the same type of questions in Chicago. If his teams got more pressure on the QB's and could stop third and long a little more often he wouldn't get so many questions about why there isn't any.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Not that big of a deal. Probably will not happen again. We've all seen worse.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

I think Blache should remember that he's not speaking to some pencil-neck reporter.

Matich got pushed around like a little girl in the NFL. Id bet that Blache could take care of himself. :)

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Weird interaction. I think it was a legitimate question, and one that should be expected. His reaction was a little overboard, but he's a football coach...

No big deal. Just kind of out of the blue and weird.

Trevor's a nice guy. Maybe there is something between them I don't know about.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Wow really this was blown out of proportion, while he did seem a little irritated. Todays pc era really doesnt allow much honest questions so you cant really fault the reporter. Seems like their is always an alterior motive as in a tv station that supports and reports on the team. So was nice to see some answers that were on his mind.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

No big deal here. It was right after a game and sometimes emotions are running high. If you asked Blache this question today he probably would be a little more chill.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Luckly Tanner Cooley didn't ask him the question.

:laughing2 That's funny.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

OUCH!!
Maybe Roger Goodell will suspend him for a few games?

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

No big deal. When I read the thread title I was expecting some f bombs or something. Or at least yelling. Blache was a little defensive but I can understand why a guy would get frustrated. Ithink it was a little over blown. Next subject time to move on.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

oh my god that is CLASSIC .. anyone who doesn't appreciate that rant by BLACHE doesn't like football .. Blache was fired up, Trevor asked the wrong question at the wrong time that set him off .. I love it .. I can only pray that the defense is as fired up as that dude ..

Hail Blache

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Exactly what we need, some pisstivity, even if it's unwarranted. Gregg Blache is running the defense, not running for mayor. Too bad it wasn't Chick Hernandez that asked that question.

Here's your [URL="http://smartfootball.com/notes/smart-notes-83009"]Blache-defense[/URL], courtesy of a most unlikely source:

[quote=Chris Brown][B]- And now for something completely different: Redskins defensive coordinator Greg Blanche (sic) gives as good as he gets.[/B] After the Redskins’ preseason loss to the Patriots, ‘Skins DC Greg Blanche fielded a question about the play of his defensive line against Tom Brady. After giving an answer (a somewhat informative one, I thought) Blanche [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2009/08/greg_blache_blows_up_trevor_ma.html?wprss=dcsportsbog"]turns the tables[/URL], and fires the question back to the questioner, Trevor Matich. Matich [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/matichblache.bmp"]looked disgusted[/URL], and Chris Chase over at [URL="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Redskins-defensive-coordinator-goes-off-on-telev?urn=nfl,185909"]Shutdown Corner[/URL] questions Blanche’s decision to fire back, but I actually thought it was kind of refreshing. Blanche was generally good natured about it, and had brought up a good point, [B]that “pressure on the QB” is not the end all be all of defense.[/B] Now, the ‘Skins’ haven’t exactly been great in the pressure department, but [B]Blanche is right that a guy like Brady is adept at checking plays and doing things to either negate pressure or figure out when there won’t be much.[/B] In any event, judge the interchange for yourselves:[/quote]

Pisstivity ... now that could become a classic word. :laughing2

Zorn thinks we need to "act medium" .. you say more "pisstivity" ... Let's have a vote people... which way should we go!??!

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

I'd like to see some pisstivity from the defense. Let the offense "act medium".

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

I third pisstivity.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

^^ what he said but fourth.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

If coach doesn't want to be asked about our pass rush ,,, maybe he should come up with a scheme/game plan that actually hits the qb ? I do not have a problem with his response , and I like coach Blache , but it wasn't like he was asked " your pass rush sucked " what are you doing ? Lets just hope on 9-14- 09 , we hear " coach , how did you get to poor lil Eli 8 times today " , and have you ever had two int's returned for tds in 1 qtr before today ?

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

I think both of them are OK with what transpired. An analyst doesn't always ask questions about what he has observed. Matich wasn't impying that the team still isn't pressuring opposing teams' QBs. It seems that he was just following up on the the storyline of the addition of rookie sensation Orakpo and stud FA aquistion Haynesworth. And of course the questions are a result of previous years lack of production. Blache could've dodged the question with saying something like 'we're getting there' but, it's obvious that the analysts are irritating Blache by questioning something that has showed no reason to be questioned. And maybe him barking back will stop the redundancy. Despite the obvious increase of pass rush from the DL, Blache feels that it hasn't so far.

Re: Blache goes off on reporter
 

Looks like Tanner found a new bffl in Trevor. But seriously Tanner could learn a thing or two about how to deal with that situation from Matich. Matich will deal with it professionally, and he will have to interact with Blache for the next season.

Would Tanner be able to interact with Randy Moss all year if he had to? Hey it would be great blog material though..
