What Gantt thinks

http://www.heraldonline.com/206/story/123888.html

 

Peppers isn't a leader, shocking.

 

Peppers is right, he's playing decent. I know that teams are having trouble running to his side, but he won't get credit for that. People like Gantt only grade on sacks.

 

I really think the press is getting pissed at Fox not for his coaching but for his interviews. Reed was squawking too.

 

If being a dick to the media was important, Coughlin would be undefeated. If being fun and animated mattered more than winning, Steve Mariucci would still be in the league and John L. Smith would still be at Michigan State.

Meanwhile, Belichick is some genius for being "secretive" to the media.

 

early on, Peppers did struggle v/s STL when being run at with a doubleteam, but come on.

Anyway, this is part of being the sack leader on a team that's not generating pressure. People point the finger at you. Doesn't justify it, I guess, but it happens.

 

Reed and Gantt need to take a nice long swig of shut the fuck up. As soon as either one of them can watch a play and identify anything that's going on, then perhaps they can share their opinion. For now, both are dumb fucks who couldn't analyze a Pee Wee game, but because they are allowed to cover the Panthers, both think they get to wear the big boy pants.

 

That would be fine and dandy if he is able to get the team passionate as a whole. If not, it is a fault of his.

 

Give me some conclusive evidence that the team isn't passionate. Give me a list of plays where you see a guy giving up, and prove that it's John Fox's fault. That's the thing about writing such vague nonsense. It's a cheap and easy way to create a story.

If Gantt wants to do some good, he should rant about Colbert and Kalil playing like garbage on Sunday. He doesn't do that because he's less intimidated by Fox, who welcomes criticism, as opposed to a player who could beat his ass.

 

Well, to me they don't look passionate as a whole and while I guess Gantt could be making up the idea that they don't act passionate in the locker room but I am still going to put more faith in my observation and his over someone who doesn't ever seem question the teams staff.

Regardless, I said "if" when saying that the stoic behavior of the coach is an issue "if" he can't fire his team up and get them playing with intensity.

I haven't seen what I consider to be intensity since 2005.
