Edsall: Limited Passing b/c Pindell doesn't have big hands

[cthog]

I had to look it up. Pindell threw it 33 times against BC last yr. rained just as much. only completed 14, but stil 241 yards. Just bullcrap coming out of his mouth

Losing the locker room is a great move!

pretty sure zero TE targets today. Randy

McLean caught one of four completions.

whatever. TE not an integral part of the 'attack'

Here is the actual full quote:

>>On the conditions of the game

"It's hard to throw (in the rain). David doesn't have big hands and he doesn't grip the ball with the laces. So that was one of the things he was having trouble with, gripping the ball. You do what you have to do. No excuses, we just didn't take advantage of opportunities in order to win the ball game."<<

When you pass 6 times, is there an attack? 17% of passes went to a tight end. 17% went to the defense. The rest went elsewhere.

After today’s showing and being officially eliminated from bowl considerations give the other QBs a go.

Edsall: gives 3 excuses

Also Edsall: no excuses

 

[uconnbill]

Such BS and the conservative play calling sucked. I am so pissed that Edsall played not to lose and lost anyway.

So mad froze my butt off but left early for the first time ever and now I don't know if I will go in two weeks

 

[psilotic]

honest to god I think the Cory Edsall crap took a lot of Randy's motivation away. like " not this crap again". given all the BS he went through with Hathaway. He really needs to make a decision if he really wants to be here. He sure didn't give off that vibe today.

 

[UConnNick]

Does Randy have a list of these prepackaged, canned excuses made before each game? Pindell can't throw in the rain because he has small hands? Why is he a starting FBS QB if that's the case? Find somebody who can throw the damn ball! They can start with Edsall's, if anybody can find them.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

Is there an audio?

 

[uconnbill]

This fan is tired of excuses. Time to put up or shut up coach. Play to win, not to loss.

 

[J187Money]

He said Pindell couldn’t grip the ball. Assume that he actually discussed that with Pindell. So what is he supposed to do?

Pindell said he was fine with the rain and just wasn't asked to throw the ball...

Also Edsall: no excuses

Was just about to post the same thing! He offers up a slew of excuses but then says 'no excuses'. So stupid. Small hands might very well be the worst excuse of all coach excuses ever muttered.

THIS ^^^
Little dump offs. WTF?

More from Putterman:

>>The Huskies attempted only six passes on the day, choosing to run the ball across the soggy field. Edsall said Pindell has small hands and therefore can’t throw effectively in the rain, but Pindell didn’t see that as an issue.

“I wouldn’t say I have a problem gripping the ball in any type of weather,” Pindell said. “The balls are just like — when they’re muddy and they’re rainy you just can’t get the grip that you want on there. But I’ve never had a problem throwing in the rain or anything. If they ask me to throw, I’ll throw.”<<

Omg. I said this after BC last year regarding Pindell not using the laces being a big issue. @whaler11 can attest. If RE was actually reading my posts this garbage wouldn’t have happened

I thought we had a big coming to Jesus and he changed this season.

Not sure what that has to do with I thought there were stories about him using the laces coming into this year.

I thought you were criticizing me and @Stainmaster for saying that playing USF close mattered. My apologies

You could fire both Edsalls tomorrow and it won’t change the direction of the program.
