Quote:How am I taking a cheap shot?? :wacko: :wacko: I loved the player!! I actually blame coaching that instead of draining it into the skill players minds that they had to get every yard should instead have been preaching "pick your battles" and take the sideline (just go out of bounds) on some instances and live to play another down, especially when the potential benefit is only a few more feet of yardage, otherwise. The hit might have been cheap (low at knees) but thats exactly the kind of hit you avoid when you just go out of bounds rather than fighting for that extra 15-30 inches of field position. Jerry Rice made a (longer) career of doing just as I suggest. 

 

I guess when people WANT to view another poster in a certain light, they will use their agenda to craft it that way. 

You assume he made the choice to try to get another yard. You don't know. I've seen the play, and to assume that anything other than momentum took him where he went is highly speculative at best. Then to pass it off on coaching is straight up spin.

 

The ONLY blame for Banks lies with Buchanon and the cheap hit to the knees.

 

But....... since Buchanon wasn't and isn't a Jaguar, we know you wouldn't place the blame there.

 

Again, stay classy.....
