Lacking Swagger

[Stone Cold]

I dont know what it is, maybe swagger isnt the correct word.  Just watching badgers and huskers talking and slapping hands laughing on the field.  Is that where we want to be as a team.  Wheres the popping helmets, getting up in other players face.  Wheres the passion to win,  i was wanting martinez to jump up and pop pads with the guy that tackled him.  Showing your not intimidated by anyone.  I havent seen that in a long time, maybe since suh.

Suh didn't really do that before the NFL. His play spoke for itself. Although one big exception was when he stiff armed Colorado's QB and threw the football.

Also, if you watched Morgan Jr or Washington, they do exactly what you're talking about.

Im talking about when most of them did it.

Players tend to have more swagger when they make lots of good plays. We looked pretty swaggery when we were sacking Colorado over and over.

Swagger is the least of our problems  When our defense can stop somebody, when our special teams can do something special (and not the *special ed* type of special), when our offensive line can go more than 3 plays without incurring a penalty....that's when I'll worry about swagger.

Reed had plenty of swag when he make believe lit up the Wisconsin rb.

Hard to have swagger when you’ve only won 5 of your last 20 games in my opinion 

 

[Stone Cold]

You think you need to win to have that.

You think you need to win to have that.  

Yes.  Otherwise, you just look stupid.  It is the same reason why you don't trash talk when you're losing.

This deserves comment of the week honors my friend - you nailed it!!

I thought Martinez, Washington, Ozigbo, Spielman, and Morgan played with some “swagger” tonight. They looked confident that they could do things against Wisky’s D, and they did. The rest of the team, however, it’s hard to play with swagger when you are getting knocked around all over the field. Then when Reed thinks he makes a big hit and celebrates while the RB is still running with the ball, Reed looks foolish.

I've seen our guys hamming it up after an ordinary tackle...….they need to get it in when they can because it doesn't happen very often. Imagine though if we started getting celebration penalties.

2nd longest losing streak in the FBS.  Unless Temple won yesterday.....Made me throw up in my mouth a little.

I hope they make him watch that play at least a dozen times, back to back, in the film room.  With a low key coach casually asking each time "Can anyone tell me where the mistake is on this play?  How about you Reed, any ideas?"

Go win a game.  I think some unnecessary swagger got some kids in trouble against Purdue.
