It sounds, to me, like blaming a teacher for not assuming their high-school student isn't aware that in order to get ink on paper, you need to write with a pen... Jordan Poyer is in the NFL. When you're swamped at the 5 yard line, you shouldn't need a coach to tell you...
Shit. The trenches on this team can't catch a damn break. No pun intended.
At least he shot it down right away.
the browns were clearly going to lose the game the final drive, i would have had no problem getting manziel some snaps (from someone that has no interest in manziel becoming the starter). The problem is as soon as the browns give manziel any snaps they are going to get 10000 questions a day of when manziel is going to become the starter. in this case its obvious that manziels notoriety played against him.
It's the mental part of the game. Knowing where you are on the field. Knowing the score and time. Anticipating the most likely scenarios and what you do when those situations presents themselves. Poyer clearly wasn't physically ready but more importantly he wasn't mentally ready for the situation and that's coaching to me.
How does Poyer losing his spot on the field reflect on the coaching? I guess I'm just having a hard time understanding how coaches are on the hook for Poyer's common-sense brain fart.
