All this "darksider" crap makes me want to puke even more than watching the team right now.
I'm with you Shane. I'm pissed about what I saw on the field yesterday, but I will remain a Card fan. I am NOT some juvenile little schoolboy who has to define his self worth by the need to identify with some social "gang".
My hope would be that Mac "sees the light" or "the writing on the wall" and makes some changes. I still think he could be a great head coach....given the right assistants. I do think there are some good ones on the team, but there are also a few "weeds" that need pulling.
I think the best 2 examples of what is so wrong with this team right now is:
!. Continuing to send Renaldo Hill out there. The combination of his lack of physical talent coupled with the defensive scheming is killing this team. I feel sorry for Hill, I really do. I think he gives it his best effort, but he is just over matched physically and further handcuffed by what "the team" seems expects him to be able to do.
Like Barrett, I think he would be OK as a nickel or backup, but he should not be starting game after game.
I shudder to think of what the Rams are going to do to this team next week. Talk about ugly.
The buck stops here at Marmie first for being the one responsible for this....and then Mac for allowing it to happen on a continuing basis.
This defense is the classic example of " how can you expect different results when you keep repeating the same behavior."
2. The offense seems to he a headless horseman. A total joke.
The Sullivan experiment didn't work. I hold nothing against Jerry Sullivan for that, nor Mac. I will even give both credit for somewhat admitting it...but an F in corrective action
....again the seeming flagship of this coaching regime.
..."blame" again -------------> Mac.
Mac does generally seem to be a good delegator, but you can't keep sending a boy to do a man's job, or like so many ******** politicians...overlooking personnel weakness out of personal "loyalty".
It is also true, that you don't throw away the old razor blade UNTIL you actually have a new one to replace it. Right now, it certainly not the best time in the world to go fishing for new coaches. You can't tamper, few coaches would jump ship now anyway, even if a position on the present Cards staff were a popular alternative....which would be highly questionable now, to say the least. That doesn't leave much of a pool to "work" with.
Both Mac and Marmie need to develop some cahones.
Someone has to be found that has at least some semblance af a clue of how to run this offense.
Maybe making Emmitt the OC now isn't such a bad idea after all.
It would also solve some of the dilemma regarding him and Shipp.
It sure couldn't be any worse than the joke now being perpetrated on everyone.
