Indecision

The preparation that you go through is all about what to do in prime time...what is the play or plays that will work when the game is on the line...hey, that's the fun of coaching...that's why you do it...whether it's by hours of video watching or by hours of relentless practicing...it's what you do...it's what Ray Lewis of the Ravens reacted to in the closing moments of their Charger game yesterday...the tendencies were there and he made the final play that keyed their victory...it's what you are coached to do...the Baltimore Sun ran an article about the ineptitude of the brain trust of the Bolts...saying that the Chargers are near imploding due to the lack of coaching...

An overabundance of time was spent on the injuries to the Chargers and how they were undermanned in the lines...OK, they had a week to try to mend the situation and do what they can to get ready for their next foe, the Ravens...and the Ravens did have success early running the ball...just as Oakland did the prior week...but in game adjustments by the defense turned the tide there...and it was obvious that the running game was going to suffer also...not just this week, but for some time to come...with or without LT...blah, blah, blah...

Fact is the Chargers had great opportunities at the end of each half to score touchdowns and actually seal the victory...BUT...in each case they were hit with delay of game penalties and were indecisive about what to do when the best time of all presents itself...and that my friend is coaching and it is lacking here in San Diego...the play calling and execution were horrible and there is no where to turn but to TURNER...hey, it's what you practice for...situations just like that...

Are they going to do a blame game, adjust their system, trade people, or prepare, prepare, prepare? I have my doubts...
