Should players be "punished" by not receiving blackshirts -- because the coaches aren't good at coaching defense?
IMO, if a player has worked his tail off to earn a starting role (or significant backup) -- and is consistently giving 100% effort -- he's earned his blackshirt. That's the tradition. Otherwise, you are allowing a lack of coaching to prevent players from earning what was originally intended to be theirs.
Mark this down as another Bo-failure. :wave:
Are you trying to contend that our coaching staff did NOT do a good job of teaching the defense this season? Really?
If you can honestly watch the tapes or look at the stats from games 1-4 and games 8-12 and cannot see MAJOR improvement in a very young defense, I don't know what you think you are looking for as evidence.
