Skins-Jags Positives and Negatives

[JoeRedskin]

I like Cooley but, to me, he clearly needs more practice in front of the mic. A

s much as his arrogance of "If you haven't played in the NFL, you don't know sh** about it." rubs me the wrong way at times, BMitch is my favorite of the former player analysts - though I like Matich too. (Matich is always good for passing on a couple of insights that only a former player would notice and doing so in a manner that makes sense to those who haven't played the game since HS/College).

Keim doesn't understand football and is all about "connections" -- da fuq??

Shoot, I forgot about Matich. He's the best, the absolute best, of the local former athletes. Maybe even beyond that. I love his analysis

I like Cooley more than I expected to. I think he explains things well

Mitchell is good, he's a friend so I'll recuse myself from a full analysis. But in short, I think he can speak well to the emotion of playing football and all the intangible stuff but not really an Xs and Os guys

Doc has a very arrogant "if you don't play pro sports, your opinion doesn't matter" attitude and he refers to much to the "in my super bowl winning days" for my liking.

Liz Clarke is outstanding. Does the research, asks the right questions. Tremendous addition to Washington Post's staff. Sometimes the smartest ones are the ones who know they don't know enough to presume.

Sheehan's obsession with bringing up Shanahan at every turn this season is wearing on me. Just move on already

He made an observation about how Kerrigan dealt with the Jags RT that was something no one watching the game saw but once TM explained it, it was like "Wow ... that makes a lot of sense."

TM said Kerrigan had done really good film study of the Jags RT b/c he consistently anticipated the RT's initial move in the hand-fighting that goes on between linemen. According to TM, Kerrigan was able to consistently control the RT b/c the RT consistently started low with his hand placement and Kerrigan's initial move was to come low with his initial punch but, instead of going to the RT's body, used it to control/prevent the RT from raising his hands and get good placement on Kerrigan's body. TM's comment was that the consistency and precision with which Kerrigan was able to do this showed careful study of the RT's technique.

As a former lineman, it just made me say "Wow!" both b/c of Kerrigan's technique study and Matich's ability to see/understand this.

Sheehan's obsessions are very annoying.

Back in the early 90's I met Doc during my bar manager days when we did a radio show with 980. I guess it was 570 back in those days. What an asshole. Arrogant, made rude jokes to the staff, I was shocked at how much of a dick he was. Never liked that guy after that.

I was disgusted with his "analysis" after the Houston loss on ESPN980's MMBQ. He basically was surly, and refused to give any meaningful analysis, saying that it was only warranted after a win. Really? As a fan, I'm much more interested in an expert's analysis after a loss, and on that day, Doc completely mailed it in. Total waste of a segment, for which I'm pretty certain that he collected a check.

Yeah I worked with him a few times, flat out rude to everyone around him not wearing a Super Bowl ring...so basically everyone but Charles Mann.
