  • Maybe Crowell is smoking up Gordons pot.

  • good for montgomery. sometimes the biggest motivator is to open the blinds to show the world how unspectacular one's performance is. you want a RB that is going full-speed every play. although i like crowell (minus the fumbles) i just don't see the attack mentality on every down.

    we haven't had a RB like that in years.

    I don't know if this applies here, but football coaches can be some of the dumbest people around. Sorry if anyone here takes offense to that. But that's what I've noticed. That's why the smart ones rise to the top pretty quickly. Literally think of any coach, NFL or college, and ask yourself "what's this guy's intelligence level?" and it probably correlates directly with his success. Best college coaches: Saban, Holtz, Meyer, Paterno, etc. Brilliant guys.

    Fortunately Pettine seems like a very cerebral individual.

    not to specifically call you out, but fan boi internet posters are THE stupidest around, think they are smarter than the people who actually hold a coaching job. You assume so much in your posts that it's hard to not see your very close to those who have their heads up their asses and smell roses.

  • He might have been called out, but he is still listed as 1st string. It's a coaching motivation thing IMHO.

  • yep...and after listening to the whole interview(in context)...I wouldnt say he called him out, at all......just typical coach speak...

  • Agree... was addressed to the group as a whole with a little added emphasis on the lead Dawg to raise the level of competition.

    Will be interesting to see how they respond.

    I agree......and, from what Im hearing, West and Duke Johnson are the 2 who need the most pushing....

    Been yapping on the radio about West today....saying he had what looked like a small hissy fit yesterday about padding up and practicing....and followed by bad body language when force to .....

  • Why would he get mad about practicing? Because he's hurt? Trade him.

    Ahmad Bradshaw is my sleeper. Does he have any character issues?

    If he don't want to practice get rid of him.

    idk about that, Just 5 years ago Hillis hit the hole like he was never gonna get the ball again. He was the first Cleveland Browns running back to be named AFC Offensive Player of the Week since Eric Metcalf in 1992

    and i was gonna bring up metcalf....as small as he was. at least he had heart.

    hillis was the only thing good offensively about that team that year so a lot of praise gets heaped on him for that, meanwhile he did diddly squat after 2010. he was playing for his pay day.

  • from what I seen Friday good for Montgomery and good maybe for a better Run Defense that looks a hell of a lot better on 1's and 2's. their i'll say it for now. Shelton looked unmoveable and others followed. Thursday will be a good thing to see with no Red Jersey on QB's and RG3 and others. Get your stop watch's ready to time Shelton's 40 time to QB.

    They may be smarter, but they are not more qualified to be football coaches.

    Wilbert Montgomery, for example, has been an NFL running backs coach for 18 years, been on the staff of three Super Bow teams, and coached up the likes of Marshall Faulk, Steven Jackson and Ray Rice, so I think he knows a starting RB when he sees ones, and how to motivate NFL players.

    There's not too many dummy football coaches at the NFL level, they know their shit.

    sure they are....that's why they're criticizing from behind a keyboard.

  • No, they're critiquing from behind a keyboard because they were able to get jobs that didn't require 80 hour weeks for 6 months of the year for low 6 figure salaries.

    And yeah, they know football. More than most fans. But some fans think their coaches are beyond reproach and I can't stand that.

  • I love what Montgomery did. Challenge their manhood and pride, and get them to play better than they think they can........... That's what any good coach does, at any level, in any sport.

  • Crow will get his 1000 yards this year. Coach Montgomery knows what he is doing, kinda like child psychology. West is the dude who I just dont think has his heart in it, he wants to be with the Ravens. Raised around that town and went to Townsen. I really wished we could get a 5th for him and just call it what it is and have Duke and Draughn in the back field.

    Perhaps not coaches, but I'd be happy to say some of the more educated fans would make fine scouts for their respective teams.

    Im with you.....thinking it's Crows job if he wants it......

    Although I do understand RB by committee and the concept of having 2 guys who can do the job.....I think QB's and RB's need lots of reps to get a rhythm and rotating them is counter productive......would just love to see Crow get 20-25 a few times......I say he rips it up!
