Blache goes off on reporter

[SmootSmack]

I know someone on this board who might have an opinion on this...

But anyhow, maybe next time I see Matich hanging around my office I'll ask him about it

Have you seen Matich's latest blog post? "Greg Blache is a classy guy...not"

But seriously...this kind of reminded me of the time Brunell got pissed at Czaban when Czabe asked him if he would offer to basically bench himself for the good of the team. But anyway, Blache basically put it out there when he said several years ago that "sacks were overrated" and our pass rush has been suspect so, like it or not, he's going to get questions about our pass rush and how he plans on addressing it. And he's not the reporter asking the questions, so he doesn't have to "throw questions" back at Matich

That was the part I didn't like. He tried to make Matich look dumb. I know it was just a heated moment thing but he could have just gotten mad and said so instead of making it a little too personal.

I thought Matich handled it well. Blache has been answering the same questions about sacks for many years and I'm sure he's tired of hearing it but there's a reason he hears it so much. He heard the same type of questions in Chicago. If his teams got more pressure on the QB's and could stop third and long a little more often he wouldn't get so many questions about why there isn't any.

Not that big of a deal. Probably will not happen again. We've all seen worse.

I think Blache should remember that he's not speaking to some pencil-neck reporter.

Matich got pushed around like a little girl in the NFL. Id bet that Blache could take care of himself.

Weird interaction. I think it was a legitimate question, and one that should be expected. His reaction was a little overboard, but he's a football coach...

No big deal. Just kind of out of the blue and weird.

Trevor's a nice guy. Maybe there is something between them I don't know about.

Wow really this was blown out of proportion, while he did seem a little irritated. Todays pc era really doesnt allow much honest questions so you cant really fault the reporter. Seems like their is always an alterior motive as in a tv station that supports and reports on the team. So was nice to see some answers that were on his mind.

I was watching this live myself and I thought it was a little much. Matich bends over backwards to be fair and for Blache to jump him strikes me as odd.

I agree about Matich. He's very fair and not confrontational at all. I hope he asks about d-line pressure after the Jags game. Something like, "Coach, the d-line got a lot of pressure on the QB tonight, did that help the DB's get those INT's and....could you walk the audience through what it's like to be an old grouch"? Blache might actually get a kick out of that.....or not.
