Quotes from Shaw's postgame presser, per Murky News:
re QB play
- “Felt both guys played solid but not near the way that they practiced and not near the way we need them to play for us to win,” WHAT GAME WERE YOU WATCHING COACH? NOT THE SAME ONE I WAS.
- “Opportunities were there. We hit a couple of them. We didn’t hit enough of them. So chalk it up to some inexperienced quarterback play and a couple times we got rushed (and) had to get the ball out of our hands.” SO IT'S ALL ABOUT 'POOR EXECUTION' AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU AND PRITCHARD'S FAILURES AS COACHES????
re OL issues
- “False start, holding call, went backwards too many times,” Shaw said. “It’s hard to play quarterback when you get in those negative plays. Right now, I’m chalking it up to being the first game.” THIS WASN'T THEIR FIRST RODEO. YOU HAVE THREE RETURNING STARTERS ON THE OL.
overall comment
“Well, for us, really, it’s not about the schedule. It’s about our execution. You know, we seem disjointed. We had opportunities. … We’re going to have a hostile environment. And if we can handle that, we’ll give ourselves a chance to play because I really like where we are and like what we have. We just didn’t play well. We have to play better.” THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A COACH WHO IS TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR TODAY'S DEBACLE. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A COACH WHO IS THROWING HIS TEAM UNDER THE BUS - YET AGAIN
When is someone in the press going to ask Coach Shaw directly when he's going to stop blaming his players and be accountable as the head coach? Might be the last time they ever get to ask him a question but that question needs to be asked. It's happened way too many times.
