Inquiring minds wanna know---where's Merriman?

[TEK2000]

Do you have comprehension issues?

What part of me saying earlier:

"No it (coaching and scheme) can be to blame alot. But theres no getting around that if you dont have enough players you aint gonna get where you wanna be."

Choosing to use the Run-and-Shoot would've been pretty stoopid for us in the mid 90's. Our players werent suited to go that way.

But by the same token not just anyone could swipe the scheme and coach we had to run it that we *did* use.. and be assured any kind of success.

What do I have to say for us to get on even remotely the same page? That many HC are stiffs that have no idea how to get the most out of their talent.. regardless of the amount of talent that may be? Of course I would agree with that.

All I'm saying is it's possible to take an all world staff and still go .500 on the year.

Ask the Commanders.

We basically think the same thing... but you want to point primarily to the players as being a problem and I tend to, at least for this season, point to the coaching as the problem for the lack of production this season. Obviously you've got to have a perfect mix of good coaching, talent, and execution to get to the Super Bowl.

All I'm saying is its possible to have a heck of a lot more talent than your opponent and still screw things up because you don't use the talent properly.

is he even on the field?

classic Nantz quote today..."Matt Light owns Shawn Merriman"

damn...maybe had the Chargers drafted Demarcus Ware instead

could probably say the same thing about Luis Castilo eh? has he made a play yet?

During the game the announcer actually said that Merriman makes a living beating a back or TE to the QB because they move him around so much.

No way!

He ALWAYS beats a double team AND then HURDLES a RB AND then gets a sack + forced fumble.

It's time to start hiring all of Belichick's assistants. The guy knows how to build an offensive line, and he dang sure knows how to build a game plan.

Merriman could not penitrate that OLINE. wow!

The roids are wearing off.

Phillips was penetrating.

 

[Mansta54]

My "inside sources" have told me that Merriman was seen buying a whizzenator shortly after the playoff game.


On a serious note, does this remind anyone of the kid in the movie "The Program" (yes I know that movie was not very good) that took the roids but had to quit and his play suffered?

Ahh, I actually like that movie. Especially Halle!!!!

So coaching and scheme are pretty much meaningless and the success of a team depends entirely on the talent of the players. Gotcha.

it depends on both, why is this so hard for people to grasp? Greg Williams coached a marvelous scheme in Washington

now look what happened to that unit when the talent fell of the face of the Earth?

I was just being a smart *** to DipChit cuz he and I keep saying the same things over and over again.

We're all right.. as I said in my last post, it takes a perfect mix of talent, coaching, and execution to win a Super Bowl.

He had a ski mask on too but his roid swollen forehead was an easy giveaway.

AND.... he was seen doing his "LT Dance" after picking up the goods....

Ware has proven he can get 3 sacks against garbage teams, just like Merriman. Does it really matter? Both players' respective teams are at home watching now.

The Chargers do play against the Oakland Raaaaaaiduuuhz twice a year. That's at least 20 sacks for SD right there and Merriman would probably get most of those.

 

[TwoSteppinJJ]

Im glad im not as torn apart about Merriman as most of you guys are. Im guessing some of you guys toss and turn at night thinking about Merriman this Merriman That.

 

[Don Corleone]

Roids are wearing off.

Just wait till next season.

He will either get a year suspension or 5 sacks.

It takes time for the roids to wear off. I had a friend that took them. He bulked up in a hurry, and then quit taking them. He still looked pumped about 4 months after he quit. I then saw him a year later with a pot belly.

Though my bet is that Merriman has changed to a new dopeman, and to a new steroid that isn't detectable by NFL testing standards.

Hey Shawne...what's that in your hand??
