Weekly AC drivel

[1965southpaw]

Castonzo on Grady and Big Joe

"It's frustrating cause you can't practice something when you can't figure out why it's happening".......uh, isn't it your job and Philbin's job to be able to figure out what's going wrong?

Pagano' message to team....."we're a winning football team"....Actually, no Chuck you aren't.

8 sacks in Tenn game, Jax got 10 against you last game.....what are you going to do differently......"watch film, figure out what works, play better, be better on fundamentals,........". Blah, blah, blah, blah

A winning team... that's tough to read with a straight face, let alone say out loud. We led 7 of our 8 losses at halftime. Our season average second half points is 6.5. By Pags' logic, we should call an 8-3 team that was behind at halftime for 7 of it's wins a losing team.

Despite my own attempts to convince myself to the contrary, I knew at halftime we were going to lose the Tennessee game. After we forced two turnovers and held them to 8 yards rushing or somesuch. Everyone on this board probably knew it too.

Yes, that little gem was a perfect glimpse into Chuckie's bizzaro world where losing is winning but what frustrated me more was the first point re: not being able to figure things out......I get it's not easy to figure out why guys make some of the poise/mental mistakes they do and change it....like fielding a punt at the 5 yard line, failing to throw your body over a fumble deep in your own end zone, etc.....pick your poison. But to consistently fail to recognize and handle blitzes is UNEXCUSABLE.......it is absolutely something that the Offensive coaching brain trust, the QB, the line, and the receivers should be able to diagnose as a systemic issue and learn how to read and adjust and get better. The fact that they aren't getting better in some areas that are basic football really troubles me........and for them to have such learned helplessness about it just pisses me off.

I'd say they should leave him at the next Hardee's location, but then we'd have zero serviceable olinesmen.

There should be no surprise in hearing this type of unaccountable talk coming from him....read this utterly bizarre piece on how far he goes to prevent himself from hearing criticism. I think AC is a great fit in the puzzle of insanity that is a Pags football team...

Well, tbh, he should not listen to armchair critics. He should listen to his coaches. Well, if he had good coaches.

I understand ignoring fan criticism but that is pretty extreme.

THAT alone should be grounds for drug testing and having him committed to a lunatic asylum

"He said this Judge"

Judge... "OMG lock him up for his own safety, full restraints, he is clearly delusional!"
