“Classless dirtbag…”
12 September 2008Wow, Warren Sapp is never boring! SportsCenter just reported that the former Miami Hurricane called Florida coach Urban Meyer a “classless dirtbag.”
Miami played the Gators in Gainesville last week. Ahead 23-3 in the final minute of the game, Meyer sent out the kicking team for a 29-yard field goal. To some, it seemed that he was running up the score.
I say, nonsense. Florida has had kicking problems, only making 10 of 16 last year. This year’s new kicker, Jonathan Phillips, had never attempted a field goal in a college game. Getting him game exerience is critical to Florida’s quest for an SEC championship.
It’s the same for backup quarterbacks playing in garbage time of a blowout. If they just hand off, they’re missing the opportunity to operate the passing offense at game speed. But if they throw the ball, the coach is accused of piling on.
Again, nonsense. At some point, that backup QB may be asked to play for an injured starter. The more experience he can get running the entire offense – even in if it means throwing at the end of blowouts — the better prepared he’ll be when it counts.
I’m not for legitimately running up scores, but coaches shouldn’t be shamed into limiting game experience for key players.
