Crow called out by coach
-
Agree... was addressed to the group as a whole
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 .....

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

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.

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.

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.
Lots of educated fans are smarter than lots of football coaches.

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.Lots of educated fans are smarter than lots of football coaches.

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.

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!

I agree. Means a lot coming from you. Weren't you a coach?
Coaching is about brains (insofar as their rarity makes those that have it rise to the top quickly) and connections. Take a smart guy who has vision but maybe isn't an Xs and Os mad scientist per se (Mack Brown comes to mind) and he is more likely to succeed than your Will Muschamp, Ed Orgeron types. Sorry for all the college references. Just know the landscape better.

I agree. Animal.
I do wonder about Cambridge's theory on West though. I sure never could play for the Ravens and I'm not even close to being a born and raised in Cleveland thoroughbred from day 1, immersed in Browns all my life-type of fan like West. I kinda feel for him and I agree we should shop him.

Id say that coaches are just like everything else.....there isnt any one attribute that makes them great.....
Some are great because they have brilliant football minds and excell at the X's and O's....
Some are great because they are great motivators and find a way to get players to excel...
Some are great because they have an uncanny eye for talent and seem to put the right guys in the right positions to succeed...
With College, some of the greatest simply had the right mix of charisma and leadership to become top recruiters and attract the best talent....
So....debate away.....but there are all types of super successful coaches with varying levels of X and O intelligence

My coaching time has been limited to younger kids and jr/sr high school as an assistant. As for what it takes? There truly is no formula that guarantee's a good/successful coach.
If there are any traits that all (should) share they would be passion, leadership, accountability... These are the things you first hear players describe about coaches they admire.

Really think Johnson & Johnson will cut into Crow and West carries but the more options we have to move the chains the better. It was clear neither West nor Crow was a threat in the passing game. Preseason may preview some good things out of this group if we can just keep them all on the field. Disappointing not knowing what you really have in this unit.
