Sanchez was just on commenting on hasselbacks comments. Unfortunately i missed iy. Did anyone catch it?
Thanks for posting this. Can't argue with the thre additional points TH brought up. I've long been against shotty's handling of the offense and Rex's hands off approach to it. We need to cut Shotty loose after the season.
He IS still a kid. His coaches had better deflect for him. As to respect from his teammates? He sure had it last year. Let's try and not lose a quarter of our starters this coming year. I don't even want him to improve in this system. I would take a losing season next year to get a system in that will play to anyone (not just his) strengths. Outside runs to Greene, Keller in blocking, McKnight up the middle? The best chance Sanchez ever has is to audible or run for his life and make something happen.
You have three seasons to be a kid. When you get to the AFC Championship two years in a row, you should command a lot more respect. I don't see that he does. There has to be a reason for that. He has played admirably in the playoffs, but he has been an impediment on many occasions in the regular season, and his progress has been middling at best. Year four is when you have to take the great leap forward. -X-
I heard Sanchez's comments on what Tim said. Said he respects Tim and that he's allowed to have his opinion, but that he was wrong and you can ask teammates / coaches. Pretty standard rebuttal. Tim in response didn't really back down and said "well of course he's going to defend it." (They weren't talking to each other directly)
During the whole interview with Kay, Sanchez seemed down when he responded to questions, as if he was upset at the media for attacking him, and upset at himself for playing the way he has. When Kay brought up the Hasslebeck comment, Sanchez's tone of voice changed from somber to stern.
If only Tim could have worked harder during the offseason, practiced harder and put more time inside the film room... Maybe, just maybe, he could have been like his brother Matt at the quarterback position. The fact of the matter is this, Tim was in the league for 6 years, only played 10 career games, and finished his horrible career with an awful QB rating of 63.6. Hopefully Sanchez takes Tim's negative criticism with a grain of salt, while also understanding that he's just a bitter media person, who's trying to get the best of a young Sanchez. Tim Hasselbeck talking about work ethic, is like Mike Tyson talking about treating a woman right.
With all the good points Hasselbeck actually made, we get a thread about the most baseless claim out of all of it?
Because he should have never said it. He's not around Sanchez during practice, he's not around Sanchez inside the film room, so how can he say Sanchez isn't working hard enough, or even question this kids work ethic?
Rex needs to fire the Shott. Those two and the Chize are a bad mix. Something needs to change and Shotty is it. He's been here six years and has been a detriment to every QB under his watch, from Pennington to Favre. Even Favre never had a completion longer than 57 yds in 08.
Yeah it's definitely one of the better NFL programs IMO. Damien Woody was also on it. They asked him about it but he didn't really say much I don't think. He commented on the coaches not trusting Sanchez enough though. I was surprised he didn't defend him more, but not a whole lot of time was given to the issue as it was at the very end of the show.
all i have ever heard about sanchez is how much this dude breathes football and how he is in the facility all the time find it very hard to believe has has a bad work ethic
on these points he is dead on schotty runs an offense made for drew brees back in 2004-2005, where there are a million timing routes and it requires pin point accuracy that doesnt fit sanchez
Tell me, WHO was the last comfortable QB in this system? QBs staring down the primary receiver - this problem is an everlasting one in Schottenheimer's system, if you recall. Then I have to question if QBs all of a sudden decide to lock on the primary receiver when they know they are playing Schottenheimer's system, and decide to throw an ill-advised pick at every critical moment. If you recall, Pennington was staring down on Coles a lot of times, and then threw ill-advised picks at the tail end of the game. When he did throw picks, he threw to a target on out route - a route Pennington couldn't hit with velocity. If you ask me, I'd say go fucking figure. So if Tim is putting all this on Sanchez, he is speaking out of his own ass. He should know better - he played in the league unlike some fan like myself. If Rex is not demanding accountability and excellence from the offensive unit, then he is literally fucking the team up. He should change that immediately - but then I don't know if that is indeed true. If that sentiment is coming straight from Brunell, then it has to have some validity in the claim. I am getting uncomfortable over this one. We all have seen how terrible Schottenheimer has been for the past half decade. Tell me something I don't know. Like I have said times and again, Schottenheimer's system minimizes the strength the squad has, while completely magnifying every weakness the team has. I don't know about the immature part, but when it comes to mistake-prone part, that has been the mantra throughout Schottenheimer's reign on offense. When your starting QB is throwing 16 and 22 picks a season, while posting only comparable number of TDs, that says something about the scheme.
Film Rom??? Sanchez has a list of 17 year olds to bang, longer than your arm. There's only so many hours in a day!
These so called experts say stupid shit all the time. Unfortunately, when things aren't going good for your team, you tend to hear it and take it to heart more, and when you're team is riding high, you don't give a shit what some never was QB says. I have some doubts about Sanchez ceiling and whether he'll get to the franchise QB level, but the idea that he doesn't work hard enough at it is absurd. He works hard on his game and at being a leader, which can be tough on a team with so many "personalities"
tims right. sanchez has such little work ethic that when the teams were prohibited from practicing in team facilities he called up his teammates and ran his own camp in cali. such a lazy bum.
