Urban - about DRC's high-stepping

[jw7]

I don't know what to make of this just yet. On the one hand it shows he is very emotional, but on the other, it raises concerns.

So as far as DRC changing his habits?
“Coaches said something, but you know, as far as toning it down … it’s not looking very good,” DRC said. “That’s just not me.”

That's just the excerpt that stood out to me. Read the whole article.

i have no problem with it, he scored. he didn't pull a dre bly or anything.

It's the modern athlete. Not all guys are prone to do that sort of stuff, but you are never going to get away from it on a team with 53 guys.

The Head Coach and Adrian Wilson had a problem with it. Meaning DRC should to. Both coach and player captian told DRC to knock it off and DRC tells them through the media a big screw you guys.

Somewhere along the way younger generations were taught to shun the concept of "we", and solely focus on "me"... It sucks. I hate it. And it is at the root of so much that is wrong about pro sports and society as a whole.
Somehow, being like Jerry Rice, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Franco Harris and more recently, Kurt Warner, Peyton Manning and Larry Fitzgerald totally became taboo, uncool and just wrong.
Sad...

I guess I am just old school and can't stand that type of show boating. Also, it appeared to me that at the very end he had to quit the high stepping to avoid being tackled. If he had not made it into the end zone, how ignorant. Celebrate on the sideline after the play is over. I know a lot of you won't agree with that, but these guys are making millions to do a job and after anyone makes any type of play we have to watch the antics. I guess that is why I like Fitz so much, he makes a play and then moves on to the next.

He's not quite Deion Sanders yet. When he gets to that type of elite level, he can showboat and "Primetime" all he wants. Right now he is just a rookie plus a few games. He needs to shut up, do his job, and listen to his superiors. He is not above the team.

Yeah, I want attention. So what?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Defensive players showboat after every freaking play it seems like. WR's get a first down, more showboating again.

I have absolutely NO problem highstepping as long as he makes it into the end zone.

Does highstepping serve a purpose? I mean is there some reason for him to do it that precludes him from not doing it when his coach and team captain ask him not to do it?

 

[DeAnna]

I don't recall any of the Patriots showboating all that much. Act like you've been there before.

Did the Ickey Woods shuffle? What about TO, OchoCinco and all of the other players that scores a touchdown and celebrate.

This is a great way for players to have fun while playing the game. It's important to do.

 

[Shane]

No it most certainly isnt important to do.

If he doesnt have fun playing football without the high stepping he needs to find a new career.

I wonder if DRC is even old enough to remember this:

You must be registered for see images attach

There are probably lots of people just like me who never had a reason to like anybody on the Bills, but became huge fans of Don Beebe just for this play.

 

[Mulli]

It's important to do? Oh well in that case... It is not like they get paid a ton of money so they can have fun when they are not at work...

Yes it's much harder to tackle him because the tackler ends up sliding underneath the feet. This is why Deion played his entire career and never once got tackled when highstepping out in front.

Oh sorry you were asking a serious question?

You are right. I used to do this in the front yard. Like Walter Payton.

I forgot.

I stand corrected.

Ugh. Do you always have fun being a police officer at your job? Are there some days where you do a little bit extra? Do you need to find a new career too?

DRC knew exactly where he was on the field and knew that there was no one behind him. You guys are way too uptight, especially after that kind of play that gave us a win.

Damn right it is important to do. It is very important to have fun at your job, no matter how much money you get paid.

Furthermore, it is part of their job to entertain us as fans. Winning should be enough, but it isn't. That's why we have cheerleaders too.

 

[Mulli]

It is not that important to have fun at work. That is why they call it work.

Disagree completely.

 

[Mulli]

Disagree completely.

I know. I was just giving you grief for the phrase "it is important to do."



The highstepping did work in my front yard. And I always do it when playing Madden.

3 weeks man. 3 weeks.

It was Larry Wilson that had a problem with it, not Adrian Wilson.

I dont mind it at all. Cornerbacks are supposed to piss people off.

You know it!!! Going to be a blast. Bring a warm coat, gloves, and a warm hat. It is getting cold already.

He stepped in front of a wide receiver to pick off that pass. Unless he's watching the video board and the guy (Daniels?) coming from across the field at the same time, he should be wondering where that receiver is and not taking any chances.

But it really doesn't matter what any of us think. I agree with Joe - if Coach Whisenhunt doesn't want you doing it, you don't do it.
