Portis and Cooley Calling Out an Offensive Teammate?

Documented FACT!

I guess that just about sums it up in a nutshell. I'd still like to hear how Trample The Elderly describes it.

Hard to accuse Moss of giving up on a route that had carried all but his toes out of bounds, thrown slightly behind him, and on which the QB had already gone beyond the line of scrimmage (how can you give up on a pass route when the play can no longer legally be considered a pass??). The pick was all Jason.

Sometimes you guys hate just to hate. I mean jeeez.

That was a pretty picture you painted partner but I saw it differently. I saw that Moss was possibly supposed to run an out route. He ran up and started out. He slowed down to almost a walk. When seeing JC scrambling he continued his route at a slow jog and ran toward the side line. At the point JC was scrambling He was only 5yrds off the side line. He had to stop to keep his toes in bounds no doubt. The defender ran into him (which I still think should have been a foul) knocking him out of bounds prior to the interception.

All JC...no. Sorry. When he saw his QB was in trouble he should have came back to the ball, changed his out route to an in route/slant, faked the defender with a stop and go...anything but he didn't. He continued his route to the sideline with little room left to continue. That's atleast half his fault also.

JC on the other hand should have thrown the ball away.

Between the defense trying so hard to punish the Giants with outstanding hits that they missed tackles and the offense trying to hard to make a play we lost.

Grabing a CB's facemask and shoving the back of his head into his shoulders is what I'd call a lack of mental toughness. Punching a guy in the helmet is too. He's also given up on plays. I'm not talking about last Sunday, that was suspect.

Running a route and catching a ball isn't magic. It's not like he's being asked to eat soup with chop sticks.

I'm done. Let's see how he fairs against the Rams.

It's going to get worse next week.

A poor choice of strike.

Hit the solar plexus, it's closer and less protected.

You forgot he shinned his shoes last year.

Cooley seems to be suggesting that other players are not doing what they should be. Is this okay? Well, it depends. Sometimes a comment like that can fire up other players, sometimes it can piss them off. It really comes down to how respected the individual is who said it, and in this case we know this shouldn't be a problem as Cooley is a respected player on the team. Nevertheless, I'd rather he make the comment behind closed doors, which he very well may have.

Campbell should have stepped up in the pocket. Mistake well one of his many in the game.

So until these other receivers can beat single coverage let's not even get silly and talk about benching our only starting caliber receiver...

That's simply not true. Kelly was open a number of times but Campbell either overthrew him, didn't see him, or was locked on to Cooley or ARE. Now, ARE got us quite a few yards, so i'm not criticizing that, but Kelly was doing his job and getting open. Maybe not on every play, but no one gets open on every play. Kelly did his job. ARE did his job. Cooley did his job. Our offensive line did their job. I can't definitively say that about any other offensive player.

Sorry for being a downer. I just hate the effing Giants and that Cross-Eyed Mary QB. It's not fair. He can look strait ahead and see the whole damn field; It's like that she-he runner from Africa.

Eff the Giants and eff the Rams too. I hope we kill those miserable bastards!

If we don't beat the Rams by atleast 14 points, then this team isn't going to win more than 5 games. If we lose to the Rams, Zorn's on notice. If we start out 0-4, Zorn should be fired.

That said, I think we should expect the skins to be 3-1 in the first quarter of the season. Anything less is simply unacceptable.

I just got through the tape and can safely tell you that you've jumped to a lot of unfounded conclusions based around a single unfounded premise (i.e. Campbell had a terrible game, and subsequent ad homenim attacks).
