I'll probably post something sometime on the decline of the newspaper, as it's something (obviously) of interest to me.<BR/><BR/>I liked Borges and would have been curious to see what happened this year with a QB who was completely healthy and less schizophrenic, but there's no way you can blame Tubby for making the change given the results over the past two years. I mean, 97th is 97th is 97th and I agree it seemed like a lot of the innovation of Borges' first two years at the helm, for whatever reason, was gone.Jerry Hinnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097537044668238939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-74879546959699551202008-07-26T13:57:00.000-04:002008-07-26T13:57:00.000-04:00.....There's been many a morning that I've pulled ........There's been many a morning that I've pulled open my newspaper sports section, and wished I lived in a different city. This morning's Melick drivel is a great example. If it's not Melick, it's Scarbinsky, or Jon Solomon. Scab-picker/Finebaum wanna-bees, all! <BR/><BR/>.....Sadly, the Borges offense had become predictable. There was going to be two or three formations. Someone would go in motion. Brandon would pull up and change the play. The clock would run. And run. And run. Finally, with 0.0000001 seconds on the play clock, the ball would be snapped. After all that hoopla, it would either be a handoff into the line on first down, or a quick hitch pass to Rod Smith on 2nd and long. Smith would be covered, and Cox would stand there three steps behind the line of scrimmage, and eventually get bent up like Gumby. Third and long would be another drop-back, with an all-out blitz coming. I'm sure that by this time, Cox had double vision, and the appearance of 20 or so defenders bearing in on him was pretty rattling!<BR/><BR/>.....I'm serious about that piddly cupcake effort business. I think they yanked Brandon Cox at the end of the first quarter, last year. I think the team gets into all sorts of bad habits, slopping around against lesser teams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
