Moment Of Truth For CMD

[John Cocktolstoy]

Anyone with a pulse that I have talked to, read, or listened to would say you don’t pull a QB after he just led your team to 2 consecutive scoring drives on the opening 2 possessions. No one in America thinks that was a good idea and hopefully by now coach Des realizes the mistake he made. I don’t care what the game plan was going in at that point you scrap it and say hey Ben we just scored twice we gonna stick with Chandler. It’s what is best for the team.

Going forward the moment of truth will be told in how he handles this situation. Is CMD about what is best for his team in how he handles the QBs? Or is CMD all about not hurting Ben’s feelings on how he handles the QBs? There is no way in hell that he can be honest with himself today and say that pulling chandler on the 3rd series of Saturday’s football game was the best thing for his football team. You can’t have it both ways either you do what’s best for the team or you worry about hurting feelings. Curious to see which way he goes?

I totally agree on the Quarterback sentiments. The offense has some flow and rhythm at times. Changing QBs doesn't help maintain that. I know both guys have okay numbers, but look at the tape. No consistency in 4 games. Pick a dude, don't care who it is and stick with him. If you're worried about hurting feelings, or a guy transferring then get tougher. This is bigger than one guy.

Turnovers, botched snaps, poor offensive line play, giving up huge plays, that has something to do with all this too. Quarterbacks can't do anything about that.

The challenge now is that you start playing teams that you'll no longer be favored against. SOAL is a 7 point favorite on the road for our Homecoming. Talk about a moment of truth coming up. Thigs can get worse quickly.

Not to worry, Learfield & KPEL have to old pom poms out & shaking them. And Coach Des has determined that he is going to continue with the two QB system until further notice.

You are correct. Even with that bone headed move if MJ just catches the deep ball that hits him in the belly we probably make it 24-7 there and put them away. Focus.

I think the most important thing for Des is overcoming adversity. I think there is a learning curve here.

At this moment in time like this I am sure he is feeling the affects of losing to Rice and ULM. I hate to say it but I gotta use a Rocky quote. It’s Sink or Swim at this moment. It’s time for self reflecting and coming up with ways to be a better coach

That catch would have been a game changer. With that said he is an excellent receiver and will make that catch 9 of 10 times.

I'm really surprised it's only 7 points.

Thinking about it yesterday, Dez just needs to focus on being the HC .. He is not ready to be that and OC. Tim and Munoz are more than capable. If we see the same thing in the next two games, well he deserves the blowback.

You realize Rocky was a fictitious character?

Wasn't Nelson doing both until he brought in Cook in 93?

Unless this team does a 180°
We are gonna get skull drug.

I agree, he should let Tim take full control of the offense.
