A Quote From The General | Page 2

For those who didn't watch or listen to Sings presser today he answered a question in a way that should make a lot of you happy. Reporter: Jimmy last week said that obviously you want to run the ball you don't want to put a square peg in a round hole and your not going to be stubborn about that and you did call more passing plays then running plays Sunday but at some point are you in your mind allowing the fact that you might turn into a passing team more then a physical running team? Coach Sing: I look at it this way when I say I want to be a physical team I want to be a physical team running the ball and I want to be a physical team throwing the ball. I want our WR's to be knocking the snot out of somebody, I want our OL to be running down the field hitting somebody. To me that's physical I have always said I don't care. Throwing the ball last year when Mike Martz was here I'm ok throwing the ball, as long as were not throwing it to the other team, I'm ok with that. But it has to go to our guys and if we have the confidence in our QB and the QB has confidence in the O Line and has confidence in the relationship with the WR's to throw the ball, I don't care about that. I care about winning that's whats important to me, I'm not tied up with this or that. I want to do what ever we have to do to win and that's what I'm looking for everyday. I was trying to copy his words verbatim so please excuse the writing. 16:22 when this is said

Coach or I? What I was trying to say that whilst I understand that he wishes us to be this tough physical football team that can bully teams into a win that is not the only way to win football games. We built a dynasty on playing slick offensive football that did not require anyone to run themselves into the ground.

The power running game is not working. The personnel is not getting it. There is change from the shotgun spread. Seems only logical to me to maintain what works.

What other kind of running would you like?

Show me don't tell me.

FB dive on 2 & 20 does not make sense.

i seriously think Raye is closer to getting the boot than we all think..we were all complaining bloody hell how bad shaun hill was, and BOOM he got the bench. I think if Raye keeps this up, he is gonna get canned sooner rather than later, Sing shows he doesnt mind doing it.

I don't think it's a good idea for Raye to get fired, we don't need another OC and further hindering AS growth. Sing needs to check his boy and tell him to stop calling dumbass plays.

Yeah but there is a difference between benching a QB and firing an OC. I think that behind closed doors there's got to be some sort of push for a more open attack and if that doesn't happen by season's end, then maybe Raye is gone.

More than likely he is here for a while.

Yea it's been said here for a while now but the playcalling is REALLY getting old quick. Just when you get up off the couch fistpumping an awesome drive, you sit down and shake your head in disgust on a WTF call.

To be fair though, every OC does this once in a while. I remember when we had Norv Turner, everything would be going smoothly, then out of nowhere he calls a triple reverse or something for a loss of 8 yards. I think Raye does need to improve. The offense must be opened up because this offense can get it done. It looks unstoppable at times, but the play calling is the one thing setting it back. We need to get more creative. I want to see some more slants, screens, play-actions, deep throws, some trick plays, etc. I don't mind running the ball, but not straight up the gut over and over if it isn't working.

We'll see how how he does against Tennessee. If he doesn't get it by this game, there's a good chance he never will, because Tennessee is ranked dead last in pass defense.
