Bulger - no "4 AM courage"

Post #134,840 by deSitter 1/11/04 12:12:43 PM Reply	Bulger - no "4 AM courage" Shelby Foote said of US Grant - he had "4 AM courage" - you could wake him in the middle of the night and tell him his flank was turned, he'd light up a cigar and start giving accurate, effective orders. A real QB (McNabb, Favre, even Tom Brady) has that. Bulger choked. And I blame this on Martz - he has no confidence in him, no matter what he says. When it was clear he was choking (3 trips to red zone with no TDs), he should have pulled him, stuck the ball in Warner's gut and said "go get'em like ya used to do". The Rams should put Martz back on offense and give the head job to Lovie Smith - a real coach. -drl

Yes Bulger should have been able to punch one in...but he doesn't have the freedom that the qbs on your list have to "make things happen". (Again we're back at crap coaching). Also, you had much better weapons when Warner played. 4 receivers that would start n any team at #1...now you have Holt, and the one player that your coach just doesn't seem to know how to use...Marshall Faulk. If the opposition knows he's not in you game plan (very obvious early yesterday)...you can drop back to 5 in the box and double-cover the speedsters. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} It goes in, it must come out._{Teslacle's Deviant to Fudd's Law} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

They are IMO an above-average team with a fine head coach who plays football, not chess. I don't know who to root for in your game - you and Imric or Brett F :) It should be a good one! Prediction: Next year Warner will be starting QB. -drl
