The Little Things

[Sportster 72]

As fans we often criticize the coaching or play calling. I wonder how many notice the little things.

Do you think it was just a coincidence D Young had 3 TD runs or do you think the coaches saw something?

Same goes for Helu that one game. Some thought he was going to be seen a lot in that situation.

How about little to no blitzing against the Chargers this week and instead playing coverage and holding Rivers to one of his worst games of the year.

Sometimes it's the game within the game that makes football so fun. Cofield and Bowen expected the first down run inside the one on the goal line stand. They knew it because of film study and coaching. They recognized the play on 2nd down when San Diego went heavy, another tendency and they had Hall cover Gates just for that purpose. It's fun stuff.

it is hard after a loss to get people to think clearly . they want "heads " and everyone sucks

the team for the last 4 weeks less the broncos game appear to be turning a corner

Actually the team played well defensively against the Broncos for three quarters. If the offense could have got going a little bit .... if and buts right.

I am not trying to pick on anyone. We are all fans and get emotional sometimes. Some more than others. Just kidding. I see things while watching the game and other things aren't apparent until after the game when I think back on it. Still other things I learn from listening to people who know the game much better than I do. Keim, Cooley and Jurgensen.

In high school and the level of college football I am familiar with teams run plays. There are no option tree routes and although there are some audibles it is nothing like the pro level. It's fun to know what and why they are trying to do what they are doing. Sometimes us fans are right, I was glad to see Kyle come out after the Denver game and say if he had it to do over again he would do some things differently.
