Re: 'Bring the Pain' Stepping away from the panic button, slowly

Zorn stood by the call--so I'm not sure what else there is to say. I didn't think it was so bad, given down and distance--if it hits, it's bold. But ARE CANNOT take a sack there. Toss it the fuck out of bound, 2nd 10, still FG range, etc. Instead it's 2nd and 20.

I think Zorn calling out players (if you want to call it that) is fine--too little of that, IMO.

Zorn's pretty candid about stuff, and I've never been so into that it's all my fault coach speak. Whatever. Just call good plays and execute, and win some games. Then we won't have this stupid problem about how to best take the blame for our fuck ups.

Yeah but players want to hear from coaches sometime "Hey it was my fault," or "I'm just as much to blame" Something along those lines. Just to show the blame is universal (for lack of a better term)

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I definitely think ARE handled the play poorly. But I also think Zorn could have handled the response a bit better.

I guess even veterans such as ARE and Hines Ward make mistakes. So this BS
that a Rookie will make mistakes should apply to every football player. Its just part of the game . Let Fred Davis get on the field and get the ball in his hands.
