If that is what you want to tell yourself. You have several people on here telling you that you are reaching and just looking for something to whine about.
Yes, I noticed the like for the single person not related to you who kind of agreed with your point of view. EVERYONE else thought video proof you were wrong would shut you up, but maybe it's doctored! Doesn't mean you didn't choose to lie rather than admit you were wrong, which you did, because you were.
You sound like a petulant child for gods sake.
better start blaming Leach, then...because his record so far isn't much better.
2 in 3 is actually WAY better than 6 in 4. Second grade math says nearly three times better.
Speaking of making stuff up, the whole flu doesn't exist line is one of the things you are making up.
If he looked like crap on the scramble that gained yardage why did it make a highlight reel?
That's just reality, though. I mean, certainly there's some, other, made up, unverifiable truth that makes Wulff look good.
This is Ed and Sponge's first A-ha moment. And yeah, the "that might not even be the play!" hope. Nope, it is, and you're a moron all over again.
This was just a great clip to watch. Thanks for the memories. Pole will live forever, won't he? Didn't get to the end zone but what a way to take the wind out of the Mutt sails.
Meh, I watched the clock on that play compared to a few of his other scrambles, and he was 1-2 seconds slower to the sideline, and didn't look as explosive(especially given all that "just into the game adrenaline") , but agree to disagree, and that's that.
I'll put this out there, on why they put that in the reel. Just an editor's perspective here. First off, we can all agree, finding highlights might be hard for this time period in WSU football. So right there, your bin of clips is limited. But also, when you edit this kind of stuff, you are a slave to the music. When the music takes a downturn, what do you do? Put something up that's exciting when the music isn't?! No. You find something appropriate to the music, not something contradictory. And IMHO, this was an attempt to show grit. I don't know that it was affective because if you didn't know he broke a bone there, it wouldn't make sense. But for those that do know, it made sense. Just my .02 worth. IMHO, I would have found a celebration clip, slow mo'ed it (as the music slows down), I envision an LB standing over someone celebrating, kinda thing…. but now it's starting to sound like I'm criticizing a fellow editor. I'm not. But a little perspective on, "… why did it make a highlight reel?".
Yeah, in hindsight, Wulff probably would have been best served, as a whole, just installing ML as a freshman in 2008 and letting Tuel RS for two years separation between them. Of course, then you'd have needed to keep them upright...
Actually, if you "WATCHED the tape you would see his first read was to the receiver on a slant, It was covered and he did not throw it because it was covered. Thus he was cognizant enough not to get it picked. His second option was the wide open TE on the flat route. Why didn't he throw it? Because the TE didn't get his head around time. When Tuel was ready to throw it Winston was set probably a little to close for what Tuel felt comfortable, so he got outside the pocket, and about 8 yards from the sideline he was still looking for an open receiver, and it looks like he even motioned with his left hand for the receiver to scramble from his current spot. Thus he was not on full sprint to run the ball. And the other thing he didn't do? Is get out of bounds at the 12 or 11.
He also didn't take anyone on. Or look good on that play, no matter what kind of imaginary definition you try applying to it.
Ok...how about this to be simplified. "Taking on" means taking a hit. I will be more than happy to amend this for you. He should have got out of bounds before taking ANY contact. There is a reason for example of the slide rule. They want to protect the qb from taking any hits. It has been the point all the time that he needed to step out of bounds before any contact.
No, the point has been you don't pull a healthy, hot player to put in a lame, (looked like it to me) unhealthy player in. The subsequent injury is the inevitable cherry atop that crap sundae of a decision. You've made it into a Tuel issue because your brain refuses to compute that on a bigger level, it's a Wulff issue.
Actually my brain works on a football level. Similar decisions other coaches make. Urban Meyer, probably the best coach in the country played a sick player who was throwing up. The kid had the flu and caught 8 passes, one TD in after puking on the field. Like Fab, I refuse to blame it on the coach. The player made a stupid decision not getting out of bounds. Coaches don't view 14-0 as a game that is won. They don't view the first game of the season as a time where you rest your starters. They view it as a place to get momentum.
It's ironic that you keep referring to "similar decisions other coaches make", but when pressed, you know none who came in when they WEREN'T cleared to start the game.
I did give you one. Without digging around, Marshawn Lynch. Let me rephrase, they simply waited until he was done puking.
Marshawn Lynch isn't Jeff Tuel. If you really think they're similar... I'd find new "coach friends".
It was a week and 1/2 into the argument because I didn't look. I gave you riley Cooper in a blowout is playing sick, with the flu. He was coached by Meyers. Meyers didn't pull him after 14-0 and say we have this 6 minutes into the game. He played the entire first half sick. And why is Lynch different. I know they play a different position, but what is that different?
Lynch was on the sideline to start the game, Tuel STILL getting treatment. Lynch is one of the most durable football players ever, Jeff Tuel... isn't. Tuel's backup was performing at a very high level. The Tuel in that video? Well below that level.
Lynch did not have the flu. He felt fine before the game. As usual in his pregame ritual, he ate some Skittles. But, it upset his stomach, he threw up. Then, he felt fine.
Yes, back to zero. By the way, throwing up before games for professional athletes is not uncommon. Getting nauseous before a game is fairly common, as many players do get nervous before a game. Heck, I never threw up, but there were times in high school that I would feel sick until the whistle blew.
Oh no, I'm well aware of that kind of ill, too, and wouldn't have been a discussion if that were the case. But that doesn't seem to have been his issue. Maybe he's was just loaded down with all the adrenaline.
