Yeah. I hear you but bottom line he nailed it. The timing is impeccable. Perhaps he's smarter than you give him credit for... Perhaps he's lighting a fire for the NE game & beyond. Lord knows we're going to need all the fire we can muster this week.
What did he nail ?
That you have to fight, that you have to want to win, that mistakes are stupid when it cost you, that we could have played better or more intelligent ?
Those are just platitudes. Everybody can say such things. And they are always right. But it does not help because they dont show the real problem. And i do think Haley does not know the problem. If he did knew he would be coaching our team or he would (maybe) twitter it (and not the crap he actually did).
He is an emotional guys. I give him that. But not much more. Unless he shows me else.
Really i did not see any problem that our players had with there motivation or their will to fight. In fact i did see the oposite.
What i did see was a offense that was not able to establish a real threat in the running game and a passing game that was medicore.
And what i did see was a defense that got tired at the end of the third quater.
Both is explainable. Our offense lost three cornerstones (Murray, Romo, Bryant). They also lost Dunbar last night. Without our offense our defense was on the field alot.
Our defense lost alot of players and if you look at our roster (especially at DL) you will discover that right now we are much worse then last year (that was right after we lost Gregory).
We had to replace two good right DEs (Spencer and IKD the other name right now). Replacements are Hardy who is out and DLaw who is still a second year player and cant be compared to for example Spencer. We also lost Gregory. And we lost our three technique to FA. So what do people expect from our DL
LB wise we lost three good players to FA. We replaced one with a second year player and right now (after Lees inury) with a rookie (Wilson). Still our main contributer on defense last year (MCClain) was not eligible until yesterday.
So those are two positions (DL and LB) we are personally worse then last year. How do people expect us to be a better defenese ? Maybe on paper. Or maybe later in the year. But right now this is not a good defense and it cant be a good one right now. Just because it misses alot of players.
We also lost Lee yesterday. Wilson clearly was not ready. Did you see the miscommunications at the end of the fourth quater and in overtime ? The LBs had no clue at all.
its easy to say you are all stupid. Its another thing to actually talk about the real problems and help to avoid them or to support your team with knowledge.
But again its so easy to bash someone.
