Gus preaches competing.


Two players are competing for CB.


TMD complains.


Am I missing something?

Ummmm, thats my point - the competition clearly ended (or should have) with McCray's production the past several weeks. He's now earned the gig. There should be no indecision at this point. At a LATER time perhaps Gratz could get a chance to win the job back if McCray should regress. But as of right now McCray clearly should have won the gig. 

 

The competition was how each produced in GAME action when they had the chance. McCray clearly won to anyone with functioning eyes. It wasn't even close.  

 

I get it. You don't understand the definition of competition.

No, no, no.....they already competed. IN THE ACTUAL GAMES. McCray SHREDDED Gratz there, by comparison in play. At this point there should be no more "competing" in practice for Sunday's start - at least not until McCray gives you a reason via his play IN GAMES to re-visit the "competition". McCray earned & won it. This just comes off as either a lack of conviction on Bradley's part or incompetence as to how to handle situations/ manage.

This is reaching, even for you.

You just don't realize the myriad of things there are to complain about. Thankfully, we have someone around to point them out. Otherwise I wouldn't have known to be mad at Gus over doing what he said he'd do.  Now I know, and I'm furious.

How the hell is that reaching?!?!?!

 

More like, what I said was spot on.

You have a pretty high opinion of yourself, don't you?

Gus on Storm/Denard/Todman playing Sunday:

 

“I think that you will see all three of them have a chance to play in different roles,” Bradley said. “It does create opportunities. … All three will be utilized.”

So the game of TMD vs. The board is back lol.

Gus on Storm/Denard/Todman playing Sunday:

 

I am very interested in seeing Storm play this weekend.

It's terrible.

That has nothing to do with it. 

 

If you focus on the exact words of the tweet and my response, not sure how you can't see that my take is spot on. 

 

Put it this way, Gratz' first season and games this year was HIS part of the "competition". He had his chance. He played poorly throughout much of that time, including this season. McCray came in and played lights out in HIS part of the "competition" with his play in recent weeks.  At this point, there is (or should be) no giving Gratz another chance here this week in practice - McCray earned the opportunity by his play IN THE GAME to take the starting gig and run with it - at least until McCray gives Gus a reason via his play IN GAME to re-visit the competition between he and Gratz. Bradley just comes off as soft and without conviction by not handling the situation with the clarity and conviction I outlined above. 

 

The fact that people cannot see the sense of the above is mind boggling. 

---

Why does that response you quoted annoy you?


Truth hurt?

Beside the fact that he said they are leaning McCray's way but whatever continue your agenda...


I love the irony of you calling out Bradley's stones while you criticize behind a screen name and a key board.

not sure what TMD is complaining about here.

 

The corner that's been playing better is starting.

 

If he continues to play like he has, he will keep the starting job.  Simple as that.

 

If McCray falls on his face, Gratz will get another opportunity.  That's how it goes in the NFL.

The tweet surely made it sound as if there was still some doubt as to which of them were starting. It said Bradley was "leaning" towards McCray. IMO, after McCray played well -again- last Sunday, there should be no "leaning" towards McCray at this point, the answer out of Bradleys mouth should have been a decisive "McCray's the starter Sunday, period, because he's earned it" Period. If you're in a position of leadership, you will be respected more with decisions made with conviction rather than wishy washy. Theres really no reason for Bradley to be still leaving the door open for a Gratz start for Sunday, which his tweet suggested.

Hahahaahahahaba Jesus........


This is what we were missing while he was gone. Can't believe the message board didn't shut down from lack of intelligent posting without the genius.

You must not understand how the process works. When a backup outplays the injured starter, coaches want to see if that was an anomaly or sign they should rewrite the depth chart. Any player can have a few good games or a few bad games. By letting guys compete for a job in practices, the coaches are figuring out if McCray is a better cornerback or Gratz was in a funk. In other words, who is the long-term answer at that posiion?

 

Gus Bradley actually did have a conviction about McCray, but he wanted to double-check before naming Gratz the backup/nickel.
