I have no desire to rewatch this one but anyone remember the play where Lechler punted and Jon Weeks, the long snapper, was the first one down the field? That's just crazy. Perhaps they need to find another long snapper and let Weeks takeover the gunner position......
-------------------------------------------------
I think OB saying Weeden didn't get snaps this week (or some such) and wasn't prepared was just so much coachspeak (or flat out lying if you prefer). OB could've yanked Hoyer and given Weeden plays similar to what he was using in the Indy road game.... He certainly would've made do if Hoyer had went down with injury..... For whatever reason, OB was not going to yank Hoyer even though millions could see that he (Hoyer) wasn't on his game, was totally puckered up and wasn't going to get it back.... Sort of a case of the captain going down with the ship......
-------------------------------------------------
I think they're are a few "seniors" on our team that need to go (lookin' at you Nate Washington). I've always been averse to coaches that use the go-with-the-seniors mentality in crunch time while the younger, athletic, higher-upside guy rots on the bench...........
------------------------------------------------
At one point, the thought crossed my mind to just run the damn ball every single play and turn off the passing game. It probably would've resulted in a score in one situation and minimized the turnovers in others..
