Mualball does not equal Martyball

milkman · 11-26-2006, 12:24 AM

For those of you that can't seem to grasp the difference, allow me to define the philosophies.

Maulball is the aggressive attempt to physically dominate the opponent in pursuit of victory.

Martyball is the passive attempt to minimize mistakes in the pursuit of not losing, most often seen in crucial late season games and in the playoffs.

A perfect example of this was the Jets vs Chargers playoff game 2 years ago...thank you Marty

..and good ole Hermy pulled the same stunt the next week in Pittsburgh

The Chiefs didn't passively attempt to score points in the red zone, as some seem to think, against Denver.

Parker provided the numbers.
The Chiefs passed the ball in the red zone 8 times in 20 plays within the red zone.

That tells you that this is not Martyball.

What we don't know yet is whether Hermie will resort to Martyball in the playoffs.

Jets fans believe that is his MO.

I watched the SD-Jets and the Jets-Steeler game pretty carefully and I've reviewed the play-by-play game logs a couple times since. Herm did a great Marty-ball impersonaltion in both games. I'm hoping he's learned his lesson, and will give him the chance to prove himself based on his outstanding performance in leading the team through injuries and turmoil so far this season. I think you mentioned earlier today you were running along side the bandwagon. I'm running along side you, trying to decide whether to jump on board or use the rope in my hand to lassoe Herm off. For now, I'm just going to keep trotting along side.

The hope here, for me as well, is that Hermie learned from his experience.

I have to tell you..it looked like Herm was more hands off with Huard this year..last year when Bollinger took over for Pennington in Baltimore..Herm said ''any drive that ends in a kick is a good drive''..that kid never had a chance..

Maybe he did learn something by that experience..any time Herm is hands off on offense..it's a good thing

We will need to be able to run the ball come December and the weather changes-might as well kick it in gear now.

I have my windows open.......this is odd weather.

The problem with Marty wasn't that he didn't USE Maulball, he just didn't know when to QUIT using it. 3rd and 8 and the ignorant pissant would run Donnell Bennett up the centers ass or throw a swing pass.
