Huard vs. Croyle: Attitude

Direckshun · 09-04-2007, 11:34 PM

I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm growing more and more disillusioned with Croyle as the days go by.

But every bit of evidence I've seen comparing the mindsets of these two men favors Huard over Croyle by a mile. On the field, Huard is a firecracker with lots of energy and passion. Croyle is as cool as Trent and seems completely unaffected by anything good or bad that happens. A good completion? Light jog to the huddle. Interception. Strip off the chin guard and walk to the sidelines.

Watching Hard Knocks, it's becoming more and more apparent who the better leader is. Croyle interacts some with his teammates, but it's Huard who's in the faces of his teammates in the backfield. He's approaching them between plays on the bench and giving feedback and criticism of what the younger guys are doing. He's the positive presense and rock-solid leader in terms of knowing exactly what everybody needs to be doing in the huddle.

As Croyle's current limitations become more and more evident, my main complaint is that he's just too lax, about everything. Inside him, I'm told, bubbles a swagger and a competitive fire. On the outside, all I see is a kid unmoved by his successes and a quiet surrender when he fails.

You want that fire, I think. You want that passion, that leadership on the sidelines, and it's Huard who has it. Not Croyle.

Croyle doesn't know the offense as well as Huard. He's not going to presume to get in some guy's face and tell him what's up because he's not the veteran.

I thought Priest said he was going to be our leader, anyway.

Please stay on topic. This thread is about how much Brodie jumps up and down and spits.

I, too, noticed that he was getting in Bowe's face during Hard Knocks. Still, leadership is something that can be developed. Even if Croyle has natural leadership abilities, we might not see them until he gets more comfortable. It's hard to lead a team whenever you're not a starter. The possibility of starting brought it out in Huard.

Should say something about being square.

"Bowe, I noticed you were a hair deep on that route."

"Bowe, _______ you wanna run the 4......"

Getting up in someone's face is:

"Bowe, goddammitt n00b, learn the motherfucking playbook. Figure out what the fuck a goddamned 7 route is. I'm sick and tired of this bullshit."

I remember last year when LJ dropped his third wide open pass in the flat of the game. Huard stares right at him, and you can clearly see him mouth "What the F**K is your deal?" With his palms facing the sky. The expression was priceless. I wish I had a picture of that, Huard in the main picture with LJ in the background with his hands on his head.
