In Other News, Michael Thomas is a Little Bitch.

[Corbin]

Lol love this gif!

 

[Rambitious1]

Yep. And it's even more satisfying because Thomas was focused more on throwing his whiny bitch fit in the middle of a play to try and get a flag than actually finding the football.

BOOM!!

Yep, thank you.

It all starts with Payton tbh. He fell a long fucking way from the Parcells tree (Bill P was one of the best at it) when it comes to working the refs. Belichick picked up that ability of quietly working those guys with comments and sarcasm, but Payton's too much of a bitch to use that approach so he's always had an us vs them mentality that isn't nearly as effective.

IMO that is one of the most underrated parts of being a head coach. Nobody really focuses on it but it's a skill you gotta master to have the full toolbox in that role.

Yep. Thomas sounds like Payton. This comes from Payton’s “whiny-victim” style leadership.

On game day, this translates itself as easy to “get inside their head”.

We saw it in the NFC Championship. Saints lost their composure down the stretch and gave away their chance to win.

1. Payton was pacing the sideline bitching at the refs the entire end of that game. No way was he clear headed managing down the stretch.
2. That clip of Thomas bitching to the refs before the interception.

They flat lost their composure. That’s a team you can get inside their head.

"What else is new"

Thomas's game is a physical one. He doesn't rely on just getting open. He grabs and pushes off a lot. Yet he is very quick to cry to refs. The refs need to start penalizing him for his tactics.

It's a skill that McVay needs to work on.

It's a skill that McVay needs to work on.

I think McVay's goes something like this: You respect me as a coach, person, and leader, and my rep, and that translates to setting a level of unspoken expectation of you (the refs) being competent and fair, sort of the way players are expected to play a great game instead of talk one. (Not saying that will be ultimately affective, or that he doesn't need to develop something tho.) He probably believes in developing congenial relationships over time, too.

A true reflection of his coach, Asshole Face.

Right? "This is news?"

In my years of experience “The squeaky wheel gets the oil”.

I don’t think that is how it should be but it’s human nature to be irritated by the bigger annoyance and to get rid of it quickly.

I’d love him on the Rams.

 

[InnovatedMind]

I’d love him on the Rams.

I'd rather develop our young receivers into 3-4 SOLID Options, that can put up a Michael Thomas night, on any given Sunday.

Plus, more flexibility, in-game & long-term.
