Didn’t think so. He goes into very great detail, which I suppose could be down to Jedi mind tricks, but I think it’s overegging the pudding to have actually changed from playing disguised zone and keying on run blitzes and covering the intermediate in-breaking routes Brock excels in vs. zone coverage because Brock was off to an 8 of 10 start including a few dangerous intermediate passes into tight windows that were one tackle/stumble away from a TD, and he conceded that tightening up the coverage has become more important than keying on the run by going almost strictly man coverage the rest of the way…to the degree of doing it wa more in the last 3 quarters than any Niner opponent had in a full game all year…even though that means opening up the running game and risking Kittle breaking something big.
Oh, and he lied about assigning spys to Brock and stressing containment because, as you say, coaches huh? and even went the extra mile in selling the lie by…actually assigning spy’s on Brock in the game and playing contain. To make the lie a week after the SB that he was planning hold up a little better under scrutiny.
Question: I know you didn’t watch the interview, did you happen to watch the game?
Nah bro, I missed the most watched television program of all-time.
I don’t know, maybe you feel some kinda way about watching a bunch of players who don’t play hard when the moon is in it’s fourth house or w/e, it’s your irrelevant blanket statement/guess(?) not mine. Meantime you are making an absolute declaration that it’s rarely worth even watching coaches communicate because all coaches lie all the time so you never know what’s going on in their heads, so what they say is meaningless.
Hey, would it be revealing trade secrets to tell me how you do it? And with absolutely certainty too! Can you remember the first time you cracked the uncrackable safe? Or were you born intuitively knowing that all coaches are always thinking ‘never tell anyone in media anything that you’re thinking’?
Was it divination on that one, then? Did you track some coaches to their lair? Or are there Greek gods in your ear, and they have you coming and going in some kind of variant on Cassandra, like blessed with the ability to see inside coaches souls but unable to profit because, ironically, being the only one in the know makes everyone else kind of write you off as full of ****? Too meta too soon?
Actually don’t worry about telling me ****, I kinda like you in an inverted sort of way, so I’m gong to do you a solid and ask: Don’t you hear opportunity pounding on your door, man? Think about this for a sec, remembering 2 incredibly important facts:
1) when speaking to the media, coaches are always lying about what they are thinking, so there’s zero point in listening to anything they say because no one knows what they are thinking.
2) except you.
Don’t you see the obvious next move? You personally hold a monopoly on the ability to read coaches. Meanwhile the media has absolutely nothing worth filming/recording/writing on the matter of coaches thinking/strategy. And I’m pretty sure this means you’re never going to go hungry again. You are the gatekeeper to the golden goose.
Few ways you could go, but if I were you (lol, a guy can dream!) and was the only door/chokepoint between seriously competitive and filthy rich major media corporations and wha they need to be able to talk about. You could sell out to one for the huge upfront payday a share in monopoly brings, you could go private, hire yourself out as a coach whisperer/human lie detector like in that show I never watched with the guy from seX, lies, and videotape? Or wait, wrong show I didn’t watch, pretty sure it’s the show I didn’t watch starring Tim Roth. So adopt extravagant gestures and wardrobe (Hey, never said I hadn’t seen the commercials) and rake. The world is your oyster, my friend. Don’t forget who drew you the map, though, yeah?
Edit; apologies, **** exhausted and I get even less laconic when i post in that state, and there are these occasional whimsical flourishes I’m not sure plays to a sports crowd, so it’s all pretty confusing. God, how good would it be to know someone who could look inside you and then impartially and potentially profitably scry your mind’s eye for you and can save you years of therapy and let you have an honest conversation with yourself…wait a **** minute! The stars are aligning! I do know someone with that gift, and I can sign up to coach some rec team… Lévinas was right all along! I can achieve a kind of peace…Big J, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this! I’d even…whoops, sorry, see what I mean? Just so **** tired of the same **** thought running through my mind (and out of my metaphorical mouth) over and over, day after day, week after week, no matter what occurs. Can you imagine going through that, Big J? Again, I really appreciate you, in the classic sense of the word, my good man. Cheers again, sorry again for all the allness.
