Don't waste my time? Who said anything of the sort?! What difference do guys who don't play make? So you feel fine about bringing guys in cold to the WCO and the scheme that coaches say is the most complex system to learn. Please don't study before finals. The difference here is I EXPECT to see those things based on what we have already seen last year. If the pre-season is any indicator, it is imminent. I will watch, and win or lose it is what it is. Add some perspective other than "any of those reasons".
Hint: Seneca Wallace isn't new to the WCO and the language is similar to the language used in his time in Seattle. If he never sees the field, what impact does he have on the game? He's only relevant if Rodgers goes down. If Rodgers never goes down, he's irrelevant. He might as well be a lobotomized Tebow. Wallace is a very intelligent guy, and I believe that he can bumble his way through a game or two for us. He's Aaron Rodgers'
back up, let's not pretend he's any more important than he actually is.
I'd rather judge on what we saw in limited work this year, because (to point out the obvious) this year is not last year. The defense at least showed incredible discipline in PS. Then again this team had real consistency issue with that last year. We'd have perfect gap discipline one week, then gamble open gaping lanes the next.
I'm fine getting beat by a better team, even getting blown out, as long as we play the game well. If we're sound in our assignments and run our routes well, I'm happy. If we make stupid mistakes and play sloppy, I get pissed, even if we win. Coverage sacks, incomplete passes to covered players, getting blown off the line, opposing players breaking tackles, not getting separation, etc. Those don't **** me off as much as playing out of position, running sloppy routes, missed assignments, etc. I expect to get beat, I expect mistakes. I don't expect to be unprepared, I don't expect to be sloppy. If the D is porous, it's only because we lost the one on one. I can accept that. Guys will get develop, and we can fix talent through the draft. I expect us to lose doing everything right. How can you not look forward to watching the match ups?
If you had to choose, would you rather play bad football with bad players, or play good football with bad players?
