What the hell is Miles saying?

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

Miles quotes are kinda like trying to read the Canterbury Tales.

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

I read that 4 times and still can't understand half of it.

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

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'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.

Translation:
We are in the heart of our season and we haven't played to our full potential. Our receivers are pretty beat up and the bye week has helped us heal up some nagging injuries. Look for this team to play very inspired against a tough opponent this saturday.
You're welcome.

My nuts are on the line and these dipshits still can't catch the fricking ball 8 games into the season.

If we don't get this shite fixed y pronto before we play Bama, I'm pretty sure I'm fricked.

I'm hoping these guys will un-frick themselves ASAP and start catching the ball like they did when we actually had one decent player behind center.

If they do that, I might not be fricked.

Some of these guys don't suck, and the ones who have sprouted lips better tuck them in and play like they have a pair this Saturday.

There are big plays to be made as we go down the stretch and we are looking for better things out of the passing game/receiving corps.

I expect the receivers to play better and play harder after the embarrasing performance against AU.

The receivers haven't been completely healthy, and there are a lot of young receivers who are still learning the postion.

it's a riddle...start with the middle to the end and then start over, it actually is more coherent that way.

I really would love everyone to try this experiment:
Record a short monologue of yourself. Then, transcribe EXACTLY as it is said to paper. Then post it to The rant so we can all make fun of how ignorant you sound.
I'm not saying the guy can't speak more clearly, but give him a break. Speaking and writing are very different for normal people.

I am an English teacher. That statement is atrocious.
Posted on 11/3/10 at 2:11 pm to Broham
Why can't he say "Yes, their blocking sucks. They better improve or they're gonna ride the bench soon."
Posted on 11/3/10 at 2:20 pm to Broham
We get it. He doesn't speak well. Get over yourselves.
Posted on 11/3/10 at 2:26 pm to Broham
To all of the English professors on this thread - It is a verbatim quote. Quick acting like Miles wrote this shite in an essay. If someone put a mic in your face and asked you a question while the rest of us quoted you verbatim, we could all have a laugh at the grammar.

With alot of the season remaining, he has not seen the consistency he wants but he is not willing to declare them a poor unit, he expects them to play better, he has had a few playing hurt. Everyone is healhty.
