Watching the tape

Unread post by RenoRaiders75 »

Questions for you all as I watch and have seen coaches for 40 years say the same thing, "We got to watch the tape." Here is my sarcastic questions of the day, what tape are they watching exactly? Is it the same tape, or each other's tape? Is it Ray Js tape? And that's why nothing is ever fixed? Isthe same tape that Jamarcus watched? Or on a serious note do they just say that because it is the easiest way to shut down media questions regarding just how bad they are? I am assuming you and about a million others are just tired of the same stupid responses and no actions.

"Watching the tape" is a nice phrase, but it assumes three things which may not always be true:

1) The coaches watching the tape can tell what the players are doing wrong,

2) The coaches are capable of teaching the players how to correct their mistakes,

3) The players are willing and able to learn and implement the coaching.

If any of those three things doesn't happen, watching the tape is near-worthless.

Watching the coaches tape. They have cut ups done. Usually there is a whole team of people making cut ups. Focusing on position groups and individuals. Generally they have it matched to the playcall so they know everyone’s responsibility.

The important part as has been mentioned is most of us can see the issues. They have to remedy them.

After the game Maxx said I don't know I haven't seen the tape, and multiple times after. Let me give you a quick study it looked like the last 3 games, no need to watch it you all ass again.
