Q: Why wasn’t he in the game at the end yesterday?

VERMEIL: “Just left him out because it was the kind of ****ing stuff that we were ****ing doing that ****ing Derrick Blaylock can ****ing do and do well in the kind of ****ing situation in the game.”

Jeez...Dickie V is kinda upset.

Bob Dole distinctly heard the word "****". Where is the word "****" in this ****ing transcript?

“I thought defensively we did some very, very good things. We gave them a 17-yard run on the second run of the ball game and then they never got another one the rest of the half. Then we had a breakout run in the second half that has sort of been part of our MO. But I feel that we’re gaining on the defense overall within the scheme.

Enough of this BS. How do you some very, very good things and give up 184 yards rushing?

Vermeil knows as much about defense as I do about rocket science.

Carolina averaged 2.7 yards a rush in the first half.

Anyway, we're fucked.

Q: What packages do you have that don’t involve Priest?

VERMEIL: “Nothing.”

Q: Then why wasn’t he in the game? I’m not sure I understand why he wasn’t in the game….

VERMEIL: “Because we didn’t want him in the game at the time. Is that a good enough answer? It had nothing to do with his injury because I walked right up to him and asked him and that’s the only thing I can tell you. The truth. That’s why he wasn’t in the game. The situation in a game like that down by 11 we just left him out of there.”

****

Nice message to send to the team.

Down 11 in the middle of the 4th.

Quit.

I care about the end result. If you get C all semester and tank the final and fail the class, then you have failed.

I don't want to hear about the great things the defense did. I don't want Vermeil sugar coating anything anymore. His loving, ass-kissing approach to this defense makes me sick. Your defense gives up an average of 175 rushing yards per game this year and all he wants to do is talk about what he saw that was right.

That approach doesn't work. He tried it last year and it sucked.

I wish Gunther would crack the god damn whip and start treating these idiots like the underachieving bastards they are.

Umm, the nature of the game of football is segmented. Individual plays are played until completion, then the respective units regroup and go at it again.
It's not that hard a concept, really TBG.

Q: Overall offensively are you able to put your finger on why you haven’t been able to operate as efficiently?

VERMEIL: “After two games we’re playing two better defensive teams than we played last year after two games. That’s part of it. I’ve had some concerns and I still have them. We’re not as functionally coordinated in scheme right now – sort of bouncing around. I think that’s because people have seen us within the scheme. That helps them.

“For a while there (vs. Carolina) you can’t execute the play-action passing game better than Trent Green did it. He did a real nice job. But we’re not in rhythm with ourselves as an offensive team right now. I think that’s the blend of the run with the pass and the coordination of them. Then we turn it over twice in the second half. Normally when you get two turnovers and score on defense you should win the football game.”

Well at least he ****ing knows what large ****ing portion of the ****ing problem is.

Let's just hope he grabs AS by the neck and tells him to get his act in gear or else....

There is a difference between whether or not you care about the end result and whether or not you understand the game.
If you see flashes of brilliance, followed by a breakdown, you treat that condition much different than seeing nothing of redeeming value.

No shit it's segmented. I don't care about hearing about the right things they may have done a fraction of the time if one play is done the right way and the next is done poor. Obviously there is a problem there if they know how to do it the right way and screw up the next. The make-shift Panthers line managed to come out on top if they controlled the ball for 10 minutes more than the Chiefs and had twice as many rushing yards.

I'm just sick of hearing the good things this defense did when they can't stop anyone.

But what does Vermeil expect? He didn't do one tackling drill in training camp, and coincidentally the defense can't tackle to save their lives.

Just because that is the approach taken in public does not mean it is the approach taken behind the scenes.

Just something to think about.

That's perfectly fine, . . . as a fan's take. As a take of someone denigrating the football knowledge of an NFL coach, it's shit. Plain and simple.

That's brilliant, ignore anything any player might be doing right. Go into the practice facility with the red ass, yelling "you're all shit, and can't do anything right. There's nothing to be improved upon. . . . Matter of fact, hand me my blowtorch. I'm burning this whole thing to the ground."

Vermeil has been fluffing the defense since they were blistered against the Broncos last year. Obvioulsy 10 months later, his approach still doesn't work. I don't want him to yell you're all shit, I want some blame being put on this unit. I think it's pointless to keep building up this defense only to watch them fold on Sundays.

I just don't put much faith in Vermeil's ability to recognize good defense. He's had 4 years here to turn the thing around, and when you finish in the low 20s in defense all four years that tells me he doesn't know the defensive side of the ball.

Are you saying you want a new head coach?
