Re: Time to call for heads.
I think Herm needs to go! But i don't think Trent ever got over the injury! give him one more year. but they have to get some offesive line help and some recivers.... :pint:
Re: Time to call for heads.
If, and this is a very big "if", we can find a group of great offensive linemen, then I would agree to keep Trent as the starter. However, that will not happen. Trent struggles when he is rushed. More-so than other quarterbacks. He has been spoiled by the fact that, no matter how long he were to stay in the pocket, noone, EVER was going to get past Willie Roaf. Without him, the decision making has to be a whole lot sharper. He hasn't had to deal with that before.
Re: Time to call for heads.
"Trent struggles when he is rushed."
/agree
"the decision making has to be a whole lot sharper."
/agreed!
Great point about Roaf. The loss of him hurt us more than I thought it would. Guy was a hoss, straight up.
As far as decision making goes, Huard had that (hence his quarterback rating this year) and he was definately better than Green at handling the rush.
Re: Time to call for heads.
Oh, no doubt. I would have loved to see him start this game. I would have evn loved to see him come into this game, at any point. But, what cost us this game, was a horrible, offensive gameplan. It looked like a Hermi-ball offense.
If the recievers had caught a couple of passes( four dropped passes in the first half) then we might have held the ball a little more. Allowing L.J. a few more carries, and Green a few more passing attempts.
But, definitely, I think that Huard would have been the guy to play quarterback in this game.
Re: Time to call for heads.
Yes, the game was over from the start, three and out, Herm should have been on a Jet Plane, with the instructions, fly him anywhere but here, this was so pitiful, that I will be embarrassed to show my head at church tomorrow.

Lol. Well, I think Herm has done a terrific job, with this defense. I just wish he would stay with that side of the ball.

I couldn't agree more.
However, once the receivers start dropping the ball and the line stops blocking, a change needs to be made.
What better way to make a statement to your team in the playoffs than to pull a guy who has struggled all season after being severly injured and putting in the firestarter that had gotten your team into position for a playoff run in the first place.
Food for thought:
If Trent didn't come back this year (thank God the injury was not more serious) and Huard had finished the year, we may have been the team winning the division and coasting into the playoffs. With all the analysts and commentators talking about how good our team is and how we are in position to possibly complete a superbowl season.
I won't really be TOO pi553d if Marty finally gets one >/
Edit:
We definately needed to spread the defense early and keep them guessing. The offensive gameplan was terrible, I truly believe that Huard would have brought the confidence to the offense that they needed and would also have come out slinging on an audible or two to get Tony G and/or a receiver involved.
Re: Time to call for heads.
If the Defense had been able to score on their interceptions, couples with the only life the offense showed allday, we win this game. That being said, the defense expects the offense to dothe scoring and they do the stoppping. I felt sorry for those guys, they were hurting by the time the fourth quarter rooled around, thay had been on the field for the whoe game. The Offense on the other hand went into the locker room pretty fresh, theyspent most of their time on the bench.
Oh well frustration is not only ooozing out of me, like the song says, it's busting out all over.

Oh, yeah. I would have wanted to see Huard, at any point, as well. He has spent his entire career running for his life, and knowing that horrible things will happen if he doesn't get rid of the ball. As a career backup, you get backup O-linemen.
As far as the "if Trent hadn't made it back" statement, I agree with you again.
Same goes for the part about Marty.
