Sweats Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 14 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Well....I guess it's nice to see he got mad after SOME loss..... Being the leader in rushing and receptions qualifies as being used "as a one trick pony"? When you only have ONE threat on offense, then i'd say yes, in Dennisons system with TT at the helm, Shady is a one trick pony...........not as skill-set, but rather as his use in our offensive system.

This reply makes absolutely no sense as a defense of your one trick pony claim. In fact, it argues the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a multi trick pony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 1 hour ago, PolishDave said: There is a character trait in humans labeled as "emotional intelligence". It is the ability to control your emotions and the ability to dampen your animal spirits at times when letting your animal spirits reign doesn't benefit you. Not suggesting McCoy is dumb in any way. That is just what it is labeled as. People like McDermott (stoics) use their more evolved Neocortex part of their brain to dampen the reactions that their amygdala (lizard brain) tries to get you to respond to emotional situations with. For example when an object is flying at your head, your amygdala tells you to duck. Your neocortex tells you don't bother ducking if it is a feather flying at you because it won't hurt you. Some people will just duck no matter what whether it is a feather or a brick. Some try to train their brain so that they don't duck when it is a feather. In the example of McCoy - it is his lizard brain that has him reacting that way. Some people try to dampen that response and remain as calm as possible. Some don't. It is a life choice. And sometimes you can't dampen it depending on how emotionally attached you are to something - example would be the death of a family member. That is why some players react with violence (lizard brain reaction) and some react with a handshake to their opponent. It depends which part of their brain they are allowing to control the situation. And how much practice they have at trying to control it. I think most people don't practice controlling it at all. It is a choice. r/iamverysmart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shameful...........just shameful. Juice's immortal greatness on the field was a far larger waste due to a bad roster around him.

I have no problem with him throwing his helmet. He played a great game on a sore foot and is pissed they lost. This is the dumbest thing I have read since the BBMB...congrats.

GunnerBill Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Controlling your emotions better definitely comes with age and maturity.... but people should take into account that McCoy did this out of a "public area" and in an area where he would not normally expect it to be caught on camera. It's not like he did it on the field of play. He kept control there and then once in the relative security, as he thought, of the tunnel he let some of that frustration out. I've been there and done that, I understand it. I cope and control my emotions much better now but when I played semi-pro soccer in my early 20s a defeat would ruin a whole weekend and I'd constantly be throwing and kicking things in the locker room. When I turned to coaching in my later 20s I understood the value of controlling emotions and taking moments to compose yourself. I found other releases for that frustration. I really do not believe LeSean throwing a helmet is a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I think what Sweats is trying to say is that the offense in general was a one trick pony, not McCoy specifically (I hope not, at least). Still not a totally accurate description, but he was extremely important to the offense. 1 hour ago, row_33 said: Juice's immortal greatness on the field was a far larger waste due to a bad roster around him.

Now he’s my favorite player. He wants to win badly and I love that he cares so much. He’s not just a me guy which I previously thought.

BADOLBILZ Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 4 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: RD does deserve blame putting the decision in TT's hands but still TT deserves blame too. I didn't like the throw either. Put it up high where Benjamin can high point it. He has 4-5 inches in height and probably another 4-5 inches in wing span. It was a RPO with 10 defenders at the LOS.........Taylor made the correct decision. McCoy has lost yardage on 20% of his carries this year......10 in the box = stuffed for a loss. Taylor threw it to Benjamin and it hit him on the hands. If there was a bad throw it was the prior throw to Benjamin in that series. The PI was a make-up call. There was no more contact than the prior throw to Benjamin......they were letting them play at that point. But the officials had totally blown the offsides call the play before.....the Jags player clearly got back onside.......so they were looking for a reason to toss the flag and right the wrong before it affected the score. Had the Bills run the ball, there most likely would have been a holding call. If they were going to score a TD at that point it was going to have to happen from 10 yards out.

So 80% of the carries, McCoy didn't lose yardage? McCoy had 3 TD's in goaline situations. You're entire last paragraph is a ridiculous assumption.

SaviorPeterman Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Not sure what McCoy is angry about if he don't blame himself and his boy TT for scoring 3 lousy points. Regardless he must have got over it pretty quickly because both he and TT were spotted together at a Raptors game a few days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
