A Very Busy Week, The Problem with Expectations & Random vs. Repeatable

A Very Busy Week, The Problem with Expectations & Random vs. Repeatable

Author: 101 ESPN | Hubbard Radio July 6, 2024 Duration: 56:07
Moon & Rocc are back after a very busy week, and in a slightly different configuration as moon is live from his vacation, following the firing of Bradley Carnell, a number of announcements & the first win under a new coach: Not only was this busy, but oh man, was this a poorly timed week for this to happen Should we have seen this coming faster? Our reactions to the news on Monday morning + some last thoughts from that Vancouver game Rocc still has questions for Diego & Lutz about timing & expectations Did Carnell lose the locker room? Do Indy & Burki's comments in the postgame impact your opinion? Is this a playoff roster? Are those expectations too much for an expansion franchise in just its 2nd season? How do YOU separate/assign blame between the coaches & players? Is there anyway for us to know outside the room? The Adeniran situation is still confusing Rocc, but "Gaffer Moon" is on the way to help! Alright, sorry about that, all positives starting around 19:30 The youth invasion continues, and it's starting to take over The Klein & Kijima change up was the biggest takeaway from Wednesday Except! For the third straight strong game from Nokkvi Thorisson Moon is possible about Thor but this leads to the big question of the podcast... Random vs. Repeatable: Do Thors strong games matter without the finishing to cap it off? Jay Reid dominated again in his second start--is a 1st-team contract on its way? Coach Hackworth mentioned "wrinkles' for Sunday--what do you want to see? How different will the Indy-Klein-Kijima line look against the Rapids? A quick thing about formations to close out the episode See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
