As Lankownia pointed out yesterday, I'm a results oriented guy. Some players jump and make the play; some players jump and get penalized or get juked. If Ryan comes up with plays like this, it frankly doesn't matter if he's fundamentally sound. Some guys are just playmakers.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-82968939013721996192011-09-07T13:40:57.857-04:002011-09-07T13:40:57.857-04:00Couple of comments:

2)...Couple of comments:<br /><br />1) I love posts like this.<br />2) I think Carder going back shoulder was going to be a TD. It looks like Avery overran his WR exposing himself to a quick cutback.<br />3) Shhh... don't tell everyone we played in the 3-3-5 and it worked. Impossible,<br /><br />Also, was it a mistake for Ryan to jump? It seems like he could have very well hit the QB in the head negating the pick. I was always taught to go for the elbow or chest but never jump unless you knew you couldn't get to the QB.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140063912226053155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-70496297308657255512011-09-07T13:17:10.660-04:002011-09-07T13:17:10.660-04:00@ Rob Pollard 1:04 p.m.

That sack didn't seem to be his fault (not sure, as he was blocking Herron; not sure who was responsible for Kovacs who went inside O'Neill) but I'm sure as he was running after Herron a second time, he was thoroughly bummed.Rob Pollardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-88280582933932335962011-09-07T11:19:43.385-04:002011-09-07T11:19:43.385-04:00Thanks, people.Thanks, people.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-3121940315946887112011-09-07T10:30:13.248-04:002011-09-07T10:30:13.248-04:00Good post!Good post!Lankowniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421144704503213226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-10485943374192035582011-09-07T09:39:56.150-04:002011-09-07T09:39:56.150-04:00Thank goodness Jake Ryan's flowing blonde hair...Thank goodness Jake Ryan's flowing blonde hair is far superior to O'Neill's blonde hair.

One of t...@ Roanman 9:17 a.m.<br /><br />Well, thanks again.<br /><br />One of the best parts of coaching is being able to watch games on film. Sometimes kids come to the sideline and say stuff like, "That wasn't my guy, so I didn't block him." Then the next day, when we put the film on and the guy clearly comes to his gap...we have him dead to rights. Uppity kids get their comeuppance on film day.<br /><br />But it will be nice to someday have a kid that I can pick on, too.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-9996941638449272912011-09-07T09:17:06.634-04:002011-09-07T09:17:06.634-04:00Awwwww.

You know you're my favorite Wolverine writer, we've had that conversation.<br /><br />If it makes you feel any better, my compliments sometimes are much like my game used to be.<br /><br />The second best part of this play was the thoroughly jacked Ryan getting up and hustling down the field looking to hit someone else ... or at least be first to the party<br /><br />As an aside, thanks for this post as my kid felt a need yesterday to argue with my contention that Ryan was in a two point stance. There are few things as satisfying in this life as demonstrating to one's uppity kid the keen perceptions of his father.<br /><br />The link to this post has been in his mailbox for a couple hours now.<br /><br />My hope for you is that someday you too are able to experience this fine feeling.Roanmanhttp://justthinking.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-37802185301149592762011-09-07T09:13:00.278-04:002011-09-07T09:13:00.278-04:00Educational and LOL funny.
