First Impressions - Jagodzinski

I once heard an NHL player say that in almost every game you are presented with a situation that you could make a totally legal hit that has a high probability of hurting someone. He said the true professional backs off making the hit to some degree, or avoids it all together. He said the "cheap players" make the hit with full force, and are then paid back in kind when the situation presents itself. As he said, with "skates, speed and boards" they are all dependent on each other for their well-being.

Thats the type of thing Cowher is talking about. Its what gives cutblocks as practiced by some a bad reputation. Its what made Sapp's hit on Clifton wrong. It wasn't illegal, but it served no purpose and was completely unnecessary.

Huh Did you mean to reply to another thread.

Nope, this one. See Noodle's post above with comments from Cowher about cutblucks, and the discussion above about whether cutblocks are "cheap" or not. Just becasue they are legal doesn't mean they are right, as practiced by some.

I remember Bookman -- played the super, or something, didn't he? I always thought Good Times was a solid show, notwithstanding the unfortunate "fonzification" of JJ in the show's last seasons.

Sometimes a little preachy, but man there was a lot going on in that show.

First two seasons were excellent but then they ran out of tragedies to befall the Evans family. I always liked John Amos and Jimmy Walker was a funny guy. Thelma had a great rack too.

Sorry to hijack the thread Shamrock.....Good times and jaywalking are diluting the real discussion....

I don't remember Jags ever outright dissing Sherman. What I remember is calling the U71 package a gimmick. Which it was by proof that other teams did not emulate the formation or package. The NFL is a copycat league and anything that works and works well is emulated by other teams.

The fact that the U71 package was only used by GB and never ran by other teams, reinforces that it was a short term gimmick formation.

Jags didn't outight diss Sherman but was very critical of Shermans gameplans during meetings which is believed to be what got Jags fired.

The jsonline was the info that I was referring to when I brought up Jags questioning Sherman. Glad you found it because I couldn't.
