[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 86722, member: 231"] Longestday, you have good instincts and show prudence so just continue on as you have been doing and you will be fine. I actually think one thing you do which is very tactful is that you generally just note that the position didn't quite make a block, like "the left tackle missed" rather than giving the player's name which I am sure you know (and we could all just check the number against the roster). I think reasonable people recognize that missing on any [I]one [/I]block can happen for a variety of reasons anyway. The fact that you have pointed out the strategy on the defense's part like on depth of middle linebacker also makes the complex nature of assigning criticism from a fan's perspective clear. For example: "Did the center not get to Perryman on this particular play because he is not talented enough in general?"; or because "Perryman is so good that it is a bad matchup?; or because "on [I]that [/I]play Perryman moved a step closer so could get past the center faster"; or "Perryman anticipated the direction of the play faster that time?"; or "maybe the center was slower off the ball this time?" Etc., etc. Such attempts at specific critical evaluations could go on and on since we don't have the context as fully as the coaches and player involved do when they do their own "grading out" film review. The bottom line is that [I]positive praise[/I] is really easy for us fans because we can [I]see [/I]that a play or block worked. Actually explaining why it worked we can guess at and such speculation harms no one. But accurate [I]criticism [/I]is always much more difficult for the fan beyond saying "well the tackle wasn't able to complete the block effectively here" or "right guard struggled against so-and-so on the opponent's team." Trying to speculate on exact causes of said failures is the dangerous territory to tread on. So you take an admirably tactful and more neutral road that benefits everyone here and avoids sideshows about either not being "honest about our players mistakes" or "being too personally critical of them." Keep on ramblin' on and together we swarm right? :) [/QUOTE]
