Justin Tuck: Players win games. Players lose games.

Very profound stuff from the NY football Giants defensive captain. I heard him say it yesterday, didn't remember I wanted to post a thread on it until just now.

As it turns out, some of the league's more educated players see the big picture that should obvious but somehow isn't. It's nice to know.

The Coughlin situation is an interesting one. I hope he leaves on his own terms when he does leave.

What's the difference, then? Seems to me from your posts and Tuck's comments, they could replace Coughlin with a glass of milk and it wouldn't make a difference one way or the other. Players will decide if they win or not, so the HC, OC, etc matter not. It's all about the execution. The fact that some head coaches continually do well despite player trades and turnover, and some continually do badly, is pure coincidence. They've just been getting lucky or unlucky enough to have players good enough or who execute well enough.

Love how Giants spent a good part of training camp and first couple of weeks saying it was still their city, and that the Jets talk too much. Also could have done without Tuck and a few others commenting on the DUI, when Jacobs was throwing helmets at fans the day before.

How's all that working out?

For the record, Tuck was one of the loudest about NY being their town.

Man this bizarre Gato/Schott crap is the 2010 ARod/Clarke. Might as well sticky something to the top of the board Max because it's clear this is never going to end.

Well played. The most hilarious part is that he keeps starting new threads about it on a near daily basis and then incessantly whines about how other people won't get over it.

This is what players say right before their coach gets fired. It's the classic, "It's not you, it's me" line.

I'm going to hit this with a +1.

Now...is Tom Coughlin a bad coach?

RJF, you're right I'll probably keep touching the issue. It's an extremely interesting one...the NFL coaching cycle.

That's the point though, like Hector (and gag...Shane) pointed out above, this is really nothing more than a player not throwing his coach under the bus. If you want to open up discussions as to the impact of a coaching staff on its players at the end of the day, that's fine. But posting ambiguity and bitonti'isms nonstop really doesn't serve your premise very well.

Well sh*t man...when you're right you're right...and you sir are right.

I will step back and develop my thoughts on coaching's impact on players at the NFL level. It would have been fun if it wasn't so obvious.

Or you could work on getting that HGH. ;)
