Childress vs Tice

The difference in coaching style between these two is obvious in just this one game.
When Childress says he's going to run the ball, he actually does it.
And what happened?
Taylor started to break some big gains by the late third quarter and definately in the 4th.
Tice always said he plans to run the ball, but never stuck with a back or with the game plan long enough for it to work.
Childress appears a more patient, mature coach and trusts his gameplan.
The Vikes running game didn't look all that impressive in the preseason, but now that the starters have played four quarters, I can see that Childress definately knows what he's doing.


My biggest conclusion from this game is that Hutch is worth every penny spent...he pretty much ran Marcus Washington to the ground 9 times out of 10.

That is nice and fuzzy on the outside but try running the ball 2 yards at a time when you are down 14 or 17 points.

The game was within reach at all times. Our pourus defense last season made running the ball damn near impossible. Because running the ball 30+ times for 2.8 yards a carry wore the skins down just enough at the very end of the game to get us 3 points.

If your defense is giving up points hand over fist and your "wearing them down" not too many people are going to get excited about your team losing 31-3 your only field goal coming off a last minute field goal.

Childress has to play more then one game for me to think he knows what he is doing, and Tice allready prooved he didnt have a clue, but the running game analogy doesn't work.

In a fight, I pick Tice.
Its close, but Tice for sure.

sdvikefan, what was your title.
When we switched sites they did not.
I can fix it.

That was a little more aggressive then I intended.
;D

I just think it's easy to run the ball when your not far behind.

That is all!
;D

So much for the better we got the west coast passing offense, and Brad knows how to complete. Also on 3rd and long, as he showed us last night.

What was that?

31 rushes looks impressive until you see 88 yds.

It is impressive that Childress stuck with the run at less than 3 ypc.

Maybe I misread you.

I do agree with what you said. I just tried to comment that if we do have to pass because we are down, we showed last night that we can execute, also on 3rd and long.

Yeah but a'lot of those runs came at the end when everyone was expecting them and they were maily used to run the clock out.

LOL!
I don't think it would be too close.
I think Tice would put a woopin on Childress.
Now if it involved mentality or wit, Tice might as well not even show up.
