Are the players gaming the system?

By playing well enough in practice to get the start, then not showing on game day.

I have trouble believing none of the folks on the bench could do better.

Is Pruitt being played?

Gaming the system would imply they don’t want to show up on gameday. Why would they intentionally do that?

Sitting in the stadium last nite and reading this board afterward tells me their payoff isnt very good if that's the angle.

Start stats.

"Vontae Davis, please pick up the white courtesy phone"

Stars are related to being good at gaming the system. We have players with lots of stars.

Some would say it is generational. I don’t think so. Selfish players have always aimed to pad personal stats.

More interested in winning the start than winning the game.

Is this real? Are you for real?

What would the purpose of doing that be? How does it benefit them? The point of gaming the system is to get something.

I just don't think we're very good. That's the best we have. I would however start playing anyone i wanted ready for next year immediately.. Anyone not giving their best effort should set down and watch..

We've had some mighty goofy threads since last night. This one just jumped into first place.

No. Not a chance.

I think most have just lost eye discipline.

There are guys who are good at running drills in practice and there are gamers. The quicker Pruitt figures this out, the better.

Just look at Jennings, pretty much all of his targets yesterday were positive plays. The guy is a gamer.

Need to snap and clear this one.

And I thought the play calling last night was the stupidest thing i had ever seen . . .

 

[allvol123]

The slow starts are because Butch took the energy bus with him.

Left the "vampires" and poorly coached team.

Gaming the system would imply they don’t want to show up on gameday. Why would they intentionally do that?

Exactly. The even more horrifying truth may be that they are trying their darndest, and still not showing up on gameday.

Herding cats comes to mind. A big bad dog needs to move in.

Over trained?
