Space Invaders? What, can’t handle World of Warcraft?

I’ve only played Madden a handful of times. Too much Madden gets in the way of all the Star Trek conventions I need to attend….

having played Madden NFL a handful of times

You still live with your parents don’t you?
I’ve played Space Invaders a handful of times so I’ll go shoot soma aliens, beeyatch!

It is about about:
1.) Gameplanning
2.) Practicing
3.) Executing

Every team have different verbiage. Some teams use #’s, some use words, and some call out the whole play.

If you look at Cam numbers in college, he mastered the Auburn offense. Auburn didn’t play against cupcake defenses. He played against teams that had Bowers, Peterson, and Dareus. They came from behind 24-0 to beat Alabama (In which Nick Saban has Bill Belichick’s and Rex Ryan’s defensive playbook.).

I bet you some money that Peyton Manning doesn’t know Grudens playcalling. That doesn’t makes Peyton stupid.

Cam practiced hard and executed when it was time to play and they won

Really? You need to be an NFL player, coach, or personnel expert to know that NFL playbooks are more sophisticated than what was available on Tecmo?

Well I’ve never played or coached football, but I can say without fear of contradiction that having played Madden NFL a handful of times tells me that “36″ isn’t going to cut it as an NFL play.

He doesn’t have to understand “right, double-X, Jet, 36 counter, naked waggle, X-7, X-quarter” at this point to show he’s capable of playing at the next level. But the fact that he couldn’t even repeat it, that the only part of that he could remember was “36″ is extremely disturbing.

If he’s pissed that people think his offense was too simplistic, then it was up to him to show that it wasn’t. What he do along those lines? “And our method is ‘simplistic equals fast.’ It’s so simple as far as, you look to the sideline and you see 36 on the board. And that’s a play. And we’re off.”

So sorry that you’ve been so misunderstood, Cam. Those bastards in the media… will the witchhunt never end?

Did he “execute” the offense well at Auburn? Yes.

Did he have good stats? Yes.

Did he manage the offense and scored a lot of points? Yes.

Some teams run their plays like the Military. Everything in the Military is broken down “Barney Style” because when it is time to go to war, it isn’t about “thinking”, it is about “Executing”.

All I’ve got to say is when we start look at athletes through the eyes of the instant everything media, we’re more than setting them up to fail. The sports media and reality don’t always make for good bed partners.

Agreed. Dude’s in the NFL now. #1 pick. No one can change that. I think his rant about the plays he ran in college was a bit unnecessary and was pretty awkward to listen to. Almost like he’s making excuses already.

I’m curious to see how this all turns out. I won’t say one way or the other if he’ll be successful because time will tell, but this morning’s interview had a weird tone. It should have been more about what he plans on doing going forward and not the criticism he took prior to being drafted.

This guy remind me of Vince Young.
