He does have the rep of being better in games than practice, right?

I guess that's why. I would also say its that lack of drive that separates him from better QBs. I mean you can't play at the highest level and disregard practice, unless you're unnaturally gifted like Marino.

 

You're definitely blowing things out of proportion.

 

Yeah I agree not the smartest thing to say heading into camp. I personally think that practice should translate to the game. Like Sparano

would say "some guys flash in practice and don't show up in the game, and some look horrible in practice, and flash when it comes game

time". But when it comes to trying to show what you got for a new coaching staff , I think Moore needs to do well in practice if he wants

to win the job week one.

 

I think it is generally the case where practice translates to games.

Coaches like to play the percentages for the most part. If a player isn't that good in practice, how would you know if he is the type that plays better in games? Preseason?

 

Might not matter to him, but in general good practices by the team will lead to better play on Sundays. Chemistry developed between the QB and his WRs or TEs usually happens during practice.

 

If you don't practice good, then start doing so...such a stupid concept..

 

It does if someone else is practicing better.

..... true, and if Garrard should have a bad game you might get a chance to back that up, amIright? :shifty:

 

The problem with not doing well in practice is your teammates suffer. How are they going to get timing, rhythm down etc.

 

Someone is listening to Dan Le Batard today. :lol:

Moore is correct that games matter most, but practice prepares you for the game. Pick it up, Matt.

 

ding ding ding ding..we have a winner..

Matthew Moore..'find your practice game lad."

 

damn it...just found out that Philbin is gonna have them in the bubble for the first 45 mins of practice....oh well, whatta you gonna do..

 

I don't like over reactions. I don't think you are in this case though. That was a stupid thing to say while trying to compete for a job! Would be funny to hear Philbins honest thoughts.

 

We talking bout PRACTICE, man...

 

I also think Ben Volin needs to stop with his Matt Moore love affair.

 

Le Batard was actually talking about the Dolphins today? What a miracle.

 

Le Batard (actually, Stugotz) had a multi-segment game: "Nothing more annoying than…" Thus why CK seemed to be listening to Le Batard.

Also, CK, you have an iPhone. You are NEVER radio-less, sir.

 

He's the only reporter that covers the team that does that though.

 

Sounds like he lost the job already and he's making excuses for it ala the Daniel Thomas way

 

That's even more of a focus in a WCO than it was under Sparano.

 

Every time I read the word "Sparano" I remember just how happy I am that he's gone.

 

He's just lucky Kyle Orton's fanclub is quieter than mice pissing on cotton atm.

 

I guess relatively speaking Garrard and Moore just have so much more experience feeling and adjusting to the speed, but I would think that Tanny and his knowledge of the system would be fine in an ota setting, a little ahead of schedule.

 

yeah buddy! quieter then a toothless beaver!

 

Quieter than breast implants on a corpse.

 

That's my fav kind of beaver next to bald beavers and angry beavers.

 

They said the same thing about AJ Feeley .That he practiced poorly but that he would show up in real games when in fact he sucked at both.

 

Anyone who has actually played the game knows you can not practice all the time at 100%. Maybe you practice full speed 25% of the time. If so there would be more injuries then we have players, especially in the NFL.

 

If MMoore said that, I think he did Garrard a favor, I suspect Sherman and Philbin are going to put the best QB on the field Game 1 of regular season strictly by who WINS the QB batle in TC (i.e.: practice). If Moore thinks he can talk his way into winning the starting spot, IMO he's almost guaranteeing Garrard the starting spot Game 1 Reg. Season. Not hearing much out of Garrard, seems to me he's a bit of a crafty veteran who does his talking on the practice field as well as he does in real games, and he has the talent to get to the Pro Bowl with a team that IMHO had lousy receivers that year.

Moore had better turn that attitude around (IF he really said this) before tomorrow. OMG TC starts TOMORROW!!!

Pardon me I think I may have to clean my undies in front. :lol:

 

Garrard is the best QB on this roster and trust me, I'm not bragging when I say that.

 

We actually might be able to on hard knocks !!!!

 

25% is an extremely low number. Some of my most intense times on a football field in HS and college were against my teammates at practice. If you're not working your *** off, you're not getting better.

 

Considering TC just opened an hour ago, I doubt anyone has lost their job.

 

Moore might know Garrards back has him there only if Moore goes down hurt. They might not want to throw Garrard into full game mode unless they have no choice.
