Moron is getting desperate for someone to respond to it. Don’t fall for it. Don’t feed the troll.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You are probably right but just remember they are not that good. They are second tier players, virtual cast offs USC didn’t want or need. If you don’t get even those kind of players what kind will you get?

I’m afraid we lost more than 2 games these past weeks; I think some key recruits are looking elsewhere.
Start with Malcolm Jones.

“We were in a position where there were a lot of plays to be made”

What the heck is that supposed to mean? He was able to get 11 guys out on the field? That statement is about as vague as Tedford’s offensive game plan.

NOSE TACKLE DERRICK HILL

On the starters getting most of the reps during a bye week

It shows that we’re here to work and we need to turn this around. We don’t’ deserve the days off if we’’re not performing. If you want days off, you have to earn them. I’m looking forward to battling this week.

……………..previous post………………….

“After the way they been playing the last two games, They do not need time off. They have not been playing physical or mentally tough, so they shouldn’t have any injuries to recover from. What they need to do is to start working out the other QB’s, to get them ready for the rest of the year, because you know how boy genius is going to perform. What scares me the most is tedford won’t make the move now, then we will be stuck with him all of next year. Tedford, you can’t live on Rogers legacy.”

But to get to the point where you are in the “zone” you have to work consciously and incredibly hard. Someone once said to one of the great classical musicians, “I would give my life to play like you.” The reply, “I did”.

you mean like the raiders’ “commitment to excellence?” tedford has these guys playing scared. remember those kids growing up with the parents who would be there at every practice, micromanaging the hell out of every movement? those kids always made stupid mistakes and had a mental collapse in a game because all they thought about was being perfect for dad. it’s a flawed analogy, sure, but it’s the general idea. tedford seems to think EVERY qb has to do x,y an z, to be successful. and you don’t completely overhaul someone’s mechanics after two years of college ball and expect him not to think about it. he should be playing on instinct, once the ball’s snapped. you’re in a zone. there’s no time to think. as much as i think harry edwards is a buffoon, he was onto something when he compared jerry rice’s pursuit of the perfect catch to john coltrane’s pursuit of the perfect piece of music. it’s the same in every sport or any performance at a high level. you get into a zone, you block everything out, you don’t hear the crowd, and it just happens. you think, and you fail.

Rollonubears,

I am guessing you never played football, or if you did, you did had a different view than anyone else I ever knew who played. Practice was never “fun”. You practiced so you could play in the games, but practice is necessarily repetitive. And you always strived to be flawless — what is the alternative — strive to be OK? Anyone who has an ounce of competitive spirit would not accept that.
