Your reading comprehension sucks balls. I said "both" to WP's question about talent and/or practice times.

Per the report, here are the two authors of the survey. It's too bad that they didn't use a well-respected market research run by a football fan who wouldn't have approached the survey with an underlying motive.

And that suddenly validate's your stance? :spock:

You're right. Herm's camps have paid great dividends on all sides of the ball.

yeah i think Herm practices for 3 hours on how to run the ball 3 times up the gut and and then works on yelling punt team kick it down in there!

From a player's standpoint he probably is.



-Short, Relaxed practices

-A summer vacation in River Falls Wisconsin

-He doesn't butt into a player's personal life

-If you are losing badly, he'll let you take the rest of the game off and tell press you had a neck injury

-Herm willingly plays the goobers of the league, think of how many there are buried on the rosters of NFL teams who'd get to see the field under Herm.

-No expectations - we can lose, laugh about it, and keep getting paid.

-None of those pesky games after the regular season is over to worry about getting ready for.



The only problem is, you might, at any given time be the player he throws under the bus to save himself.

He would probably punt on first down so we don't have a turnover, but the three runs are part of his ball control plan.

Have you even BEEN to River Falls since Herm Edwards became head coach?

You really need to get a life and quit taking everything that is posted so seriously.

So you don't believe what you wrote?

I believe Herm runs one of the easier training camps in the league. I also believe you play like you practice.

I remember Marty commenting at season's end back in the 90's about taking responsibility for all the injuries his players had because he didn't have them physically ready to compete. He vowed that would not happen again. Injuries were way down the next year because he worked them really hard in the offseason. Marty ran some tough camps/practices and his teams showed it.

You couldn't be more wrong.

According to you I'm always wrong. 'Couse someone with your level of credentials calling me wrong really doesn't have any affect whatsoever on my self-esteem.


Jest 'cause you right fore nick doesn't make you an espert.

You're wrong.

I'm wrong that I'm wrong?
