That seems to be the $64,000 question these day doesn't it? Folks could go back and forth all day (and many do lol) about if the coaching is to blame for the mistakes, or is it just the player. I'm not sure there is a definitive answer to that. I doubt anyone on here is at the practices, so we can only assume at this high of a level, the coaches know what to practice (tackling, not fumbling, etc.) but who knows how they actually structure that. I think some players, and this is strictly my own opinion, have a tendency to turn the ball over for a variety of reasons most people don't even think about. For instance, AM might have small hands and isn't able to hold the ball as well as someone with bigger hands. Who knows. Coaches are certainly to blame for play calling and game decisions, but when guys conitnually fumble, throw picks, hold, interfere, etc, I tend to believe it's more the player's "fault" than anything. Some players also don't rise to the occasion under pressure as well as others, and we've seen quite a few mistakes from that as well. These kids are under a tremendous amount of pressure playing a "game".
