The Hairless Norseman
When you’re up at the half, you walk out the gate and throw long balls and go for big scores. You do exactly what Dallas did last night. You don’t let up on the gas, you don’t just start running the ball and doing short yardage plays. You walk out of the doors and play like you’re 10 points behind.
You keep taking chances and never let up the gas, as the other team is going to take a lot of chances and have the pedal to the metal.
That’s how you get unecessary injuries too.
We’re already a banged up team as it is, you really gonna risk more starters getting injured for the sake of running the score up?
KOC did the right thing playing conservative ball. Take care of the players or else we’re gonna start losing games.
Absolutely? Because you can’t guarantee a 20 point lead is going to win you the game, keep on the gas and push the win. You shouldn’t ever be playing at a place where your team is relaxing or taking off the gas.
Injury is always a risk, but to ‘take it easy’ in hopes you don’t get injuries, is just not a way to play NFL caliber football? I could be crazy, but I just don’t see it that way.
