This is his response to a question about whether he was disappointed in his wide receivers' blocking.

"I guess what I'm saying is I'm in the key piece of my season where the big plays have yet to have been made. As I go into the next game, I look for those plays to be more important than anything that we've done in the past, and to say that I have any opinion to this point that would be finite would not. Really, I'm expecting this receiving corps to do the things that they've done in the past, and that is rebound and play like hell and play well. If they do that, that's just what I want to see them do. In many instances there is some developing going on, and there are some guys, in my opinion, who are a little bit nicked and will probably be playing with greatest health this Saturday."

WTF

There's not enough alcohol in the world for me to be able to translate that.

If you don't understand that, and you graduated from college, you really snuck through the cracks.

I graduated as a mechanical engineer and write professionally and that quote was hard to understand.

the WRs haven't played well to date, but he's looking for them to forget the bad plays and make plays going forward. some of the problem was inexperience, some was injury. the injury part shouldn't be an issue this Sat.

Well, if you listened to the press conference it was pretty obvious what he was saying.

Without throwing his receivers under the bus as the question tried to get him to do, he said they're working to get better, and he expects them to play better in this crucial part of the season.

Please give a link. I didn't hear his press release Monday but Dandydon list his comments as follows.

On the inconsistent play of the wide receivers…
“I think any time you look at the passing game, you have to look at the whole piece. Certainly the receiving corps could have caught more balls, and I think those things should not continue. We work hard on just the simple mechanics of catching the football on a daily basis. I think you are looking at a group of guys, in my opinion, that are committed to making those necessary adjustments so that those catches are made and made more routinely. But, any time you have dropped passes, it’s a piece that’s negative, and you need to eliminate it. I think we have good leadership there, and I think they are working hard at correcting that.”

I put it in an English to German translator:

quote:

Ich denke, was ich sage ist, dass ich in den wichtigsten Teil meiner Saison, wo die großen Stücke wurden noch vorgenommen wurden. Als ich in das nächste Spiel gehen, sehe ich für diejenigen spielt wichtiger zu sein als alles, was wir in der Vergangenheit getan haben, und sagen, dass ich keine Stellungnahme zu diesem Punkt, dass endlich sein würde, würde nicht haben. Wirklich, ich erwarte diese Aufnahme Korps zu den Dingen, die sie in der Vergangenheit getan habe, und das ist Erholung und spielen wie die Hölle und spielt gut tun. Wenn sie das, das ist genau das, was ich will sehen, wie sie wollen. In vielen Fällen gibt es einige Entwicklungsländer geht, und es gibt einige Leute, meiner Meinung nach, der ein wenig eingekerbt sind und wahrscheinlich mit der größten Gesundheits-spielen an diesem Samstag


Strangely, it makes more sense to me put this way.

I'll dumb it down for you.

-The rest of the season is the most important part of the season.

-The "big plays" can only happen in the games to come, since they are the most important.

-Opinions are not FACT, therefore they're not finite, so to be disappointed in his WR's blocking would be too direct.

-He knows his WR's CAN make the big plays, and that's obviously all he wants them to do.

-Some players have been nicked (RR's broken pinky impacted his ability to block), and some are still learning the position (RS), but against Bama they will have Auburn under their belt (as a learning experience), and will be the healthiest they've been all season.

If that is an actual manifestation of the thought pattern in his brain, I can only feel sorry for the man. Hoipefuly his thoughts and the words from his mouth are not connected.
