If I read another quote from Mike about the importance of self scouting I'm going to post a strongly worded letter about it on this site that he'll never see. 

Why don't you send it to 1265 Lombardi?

Make certain that the letter is composed of words cut from newspaper headlines. 

You watch too many movies.

That said, TT and MM have made some very odd roster decisions this offseason and year.  2 RB's having fairly similar styles that don't have a great health history.  TE's - 2 of which are not NFL caliber (Rodgers and Perillo), continued faith in Don Barclay, etc. 

Good Lord, Man!   He who must not be named!  And you said his name!  Please, please, please!!    The initials D.B.   Are not welcome here!  The fact that this loser even made our roster makes me even more  skeptical of this coaching staff.  Thank you!

As far as HHCD, he's definitely an above average player but he did whiff.  We don't see as many safety/corner blitzes as before but there's also no Woody in the backfield.  I think HHCD makes those plays in the defensive backfield if they aren't so sporadic.  

Luck is no slouch, let's give him a little credit for that play.  He's good sized and athletic despite his goober looks.  It's not like he couldn't wrap up Tom Brady,  Luck makes people miss every week.

Today Mike said "it's a man to man game. Didn't do enough to win those matchups". He also said after watching the tape again he felt the energy yesterday was actually pretty good. 

Look. It's admirable stuff that Mike thinks his recievers are capable of more and he just needs to unlock their inner greatness. But that isn't a young Jordy, engaged Jennings, and crafty Driver running ISO routes. It's Adams,  a not yet back Jordy, Janis and Dick Rodgers. If the plan is to have those guys work harder to beat press man coverage it's going to be a lot more of the same theses final 8 games. 

The guy is as stubborn as they get. I just think the body of evidence shows his plan with this personnel group isn't ever coming together the way he's convinced himself it will. 

He is failing them by refusing to help them beat the man coverage.  We see a bubble screen now and then and that's the extent of the man beaters.  

Well, let me say from what we can see.  I'm not watching from the birds eye so I just have to assume that when Rodgers is holding the ball for 6 seconds it's because it's the stale asa plays that we've seen for 20 games now.

I love this group of interior DL. They all play their butts off and are stout against the run. I think they have found the right mix of good starters Daniels, Guion, and Pennell and good backups with guys like Clark (only a backup for now), Lowry and Ringo. All 6 seem to be unselfish grinders who consistently clog lanes. They need to improve the pass rush from the interior, seems like a lot of bull rush and not a lot of technique coming from everyone but Daniels. Clark has some serious athleticism and he will improve with time, but I'd like to see a guy like Pennell get some technique to go with his unique abilities.
