Chubz, the passing game is a 2 man show. Those WRs need to bust a hump to get to that ball. Cody had to put the ball where he knew only his man had a shot at catching it. After he lets it go, it's up to the receiver to finish it off with a catch. Passing in a gametime situation is a lot different than just passing for fun. And that short pass for an INT was due to the rush that the O line let through. Ya know, they call QBs and RBs and WRs skill positions, but it takse some skill to play on that line and our guys just didn't show much tonight. And even though they say a win is a win is a win, tonight's effort won't get it done against the Raiders. Maybe this is all a part of how long they waited to appoint a head coach which led to some slacking on the part of the players by not practicing enough this summer. And maybe as the season wears on and they practice and get better in shape they'll do a lot better. We can hope anyway.

HUMMMMMM???? not pointing Fingers

I didn't mean to point fingers, I was just saying that I saw Richardson throw some passes too far so that they went nearly out of bounds to where the receiver couldn't make it to them.

Just because I criticize an error on Appy's part doesn't mean that I am picking on that certain individual to put them down or that I'm saying that I could do any better out there... In fact, Richardson is improving year by year (I can see how much he's improved when I compare him to his freshman year) and he isn't a bad QB at all, Appalachia just had a pretty bad game against Rye Cove and I wish them to a better game when it comes time for the game versus Burton.

Not too many QB's in this area have this kind of touch IMO

That is indeed true. Although some of those passes that are thrown past the receiver may end up as being incomplete, it's better to throw over the receiver and have it incomplete than it is to underthrow and have an interception on your hands!

Ok, maybe I should rephrase that as:

Cody had to try to put the ball where he knew only his man had a shot at catching it.

Sound better? lol

Did I once say the outcome of the game was any one indiviuals fault? No. I won't. I brought up the fact that some improvement could be made in some areas. They all played well. But playing well will only get them so far. I'd love to see them go all the way and win it. And if they did, I won't say it was only because of a handfull or even just one player. I happen to be related to Cody and have an interest in what he does. But I don't sugar coat it for him when we talk about it. I've told him the same things I post here. And I also tell him when I think he's not doing his best. These are indeed teenagers were talking about. I realize that. And as such if you just say good game and let it go at that what have they learned? They have to learn that they have room to improve and be pushed to achieve that improvement. I'm sure the coaching staff says a lot worse than I do. Ya wanna accuse them of pointing fingers? And I've read a lot worse on here than what I said. By other Appy fans no less. It's all a matter of stating your opinion of what you saw and thought. Just because any of us says we don't think they're playing their best doesn't mean we think any less of them as individuals. I said what I said and don't feel I was being immature or pointing fingers. We may not agree on the topic, but we can agree to disagree. C'est la vie!!

Chubz, I know you weren't pointing fingers. And I appreciate your explanation and support of the Dawgs, Cody specifically. I only meant to bring up the fact he's not the only player involved in the passing game. Hell, he's not the only player involved in the whole game. I was only trying to discuss this fact with you. I wasn't trying to berrate you or anything. Some just take things out of context.

That's a wise statement, Chubz. You may not play the game, but you do have a good understanding of it.

Ah ok my bad.. I thought you were angry at me because you thought I was pointing fingers, just a misunderstanding on my part.

No, I'm not angry at you or anybody else, Chubz.
