Pathetic......... cant stop there..... they were all playing half speed... no effort. i mean, even to the point where they were trying to get back in the game. HAS THIS NFL TEAM HEARD OF NO HUDDLE? maybe we just have a bunch of wasters, ''airheads'' coaching and playing? no smart football has been shown for some time now. WE WERE WHO WE THOUGHT WE WERE!
I disagree. Last week their heart could be questioned, but not this week with guys like Courtney Bryan, Greg Camarillo and Ed Miles playing big minutes. A bad team with tons of injuries is going to result in a loss. At the beginning of the game I was thinking there was no way we could win this game with the bare bones team they put on the field today.
The reason those players were in was because our starters have given up on this season. No one wants to play, because playing means possibly getting hurt for a wasted season. And Cameron is letting them do this. Cam is a terrible coach. These all may be second or third stringers, but someone's supposed to COACH them into being better. If you have people who can't even play the game, why are they on the team in the first place? This is Cam's team, not Wannstedts. Not Sabans. Cam picked these players, he cut the ones he didnt like, and he's "coached" the ones he has on the team. Don't blame this on Wanny or anyone else. It's Cams team, no matter who plays. If the starters don't want to go out and play for Cameron, then he's truly lost them.
No, the reason they are in is because the guys they are replacing are injured. And while Cam has not done a good job, I don't care how good of a coach this team had you can't coach poor talent. And Cameron didn't pick these players. Mueller made the draft picks, and Wanny and Saban left him with the cupboard bare. This team is where they are because of the poor decisions made by previous personnel guys and everyone knows that. If you can't see that then you don't know how the NFL works. Cam can't just snap his fingers and bring and have a good QB appear or better linebackers, linemen or better corners. You take what you are given in your first year.
I'm sorry, but if you can't coach the BASICS like TACKLING, CATCHING THE BALL and DISCIPLINE of not getting penalties, you should at LEAST inspire motivation into your players. Cam can't do any of these things. As for what Wanny and Spielman left him, no. He didn't make out like a bandit like Wade Phillips and inherit a great team. But every single person on that roster is there because Cam and Mueller wanted them there. There are plenty of FA's out there to bring in that WILL tackle, and run the correct routes and not drop the ball. The problem is, Cam traded those players away. If you think Cam doesn't have control over how his team is run throughout the season, you're dead wrong. He and Mueller built our current team and every decision is run through him. He just picked terrible players to be the depth on our team. No, he wasn't given a butt load of talent from our past team. But what he brought himself has been a bust. A broken QB, a useless Joey Porter that cost millions, a receiver/punt returner at 9 that hasn't pulled his weight, and countless other decisions, both gametime and over the course of the season that hasn't worked out. Some of its luck. Most of it is bad coaching. And if you're a head coach in this league, part of your responsibility is to take the heat when you lose. It's time for Cam to accept his responsibility and take the heat. And don't even dare to tell me that Zach Thomas is truly hurt with all his migraines from the fender bender after the pats game. Come on, the guy wants to be traded and doesn't want to risk getting hurt. Look at the Patriots, how many guys are playing hurt on their team? Some guys will become "injured" when they've got nothing left to fight for. Self preservation, and your nuts if you think its not happening right now.
Wow. So let me get this right. Cam wanted to have the talent that is on this team? You obviously don't have much of a clue about how NFL teams are run. And to say Zach Thomas wants to be out takes the cake. You do know he was put on IR against his wishes right? Or was that some kind of conspiracy to boost up his value? Give me a break.
