Coach Cowher says......


Recommended Posts

We have been running it. What game is he watching?

We stuck with the run the last 2 weeks...we won. First 3 games Fox got away from the run and wanted to install a more balanced attack (the duo actually was running the best in the losses but Fox elected to let Jake lose the games instead).

I'm sure pass protection had nothing to do with that..

Not sure I understand. So the running backs were running well....but it is the OL faults for not protecting Jake....which is why the run was abandoned to early for 4 consecutive games? Easy solution to the obvious. AZ they should have ran and ran. Philly they should have ran and ran...Dallas, Alt etc. The ran game was finding success in all those games...why put it on Jake (and the OL if that makes you happy). They still put too much on Jake and he has messed everything up...I don't care who you want to have him share the blame with......that is the most retarded coaching I have ever seen. Fox claims to want to run the ball but he has been afraid to do it up until the last 2 games despite it working.

This I can agree with... Pardon me being particular when I get tired of seeing people like Koolkatluke say Jake is the reason we are 2-3 when there are so many other factors involved..

he has 11 sacks and just like Cutler, who has 7 INTs and 10 sacks where as people like Peyton and co have 2 or 3 sacks... There is a correlation between the two (I realize Jake is fairly immobile, but that's not the entire story).. I just think a fair assessment is in order instead of hearing things like "Pep has been invisible all season long" when we all know that's not the case... (just another example)

I def want to see a new coach brought in as I'm tired of seeing the same team over the last several years, even in regards to them playing down to competition.. It's the little things that are starting to get to me, not just the big things.. I'd love a new QB as well. Perhaps Jake bounces back, but as a fan I have no control of that.. However, I do expect people to be reasonable at the same time. I don't think that's too much to ask. Esp when someone says they rather have Romo then Delhomme... The same poo would be happening, just different names... I mean, wtf are we really talking about here.. :)

We threw more because we were behind in those games. Do you really think we should have been running the ball when we were behind Philly by 2 or 3 td's?

    • I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE. 
    • You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.
    • According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
