Offensive Line

Foley could never tell these guys to hit the gym? Regardless of what PP and GDL focused on it isn't like Foley had his mouth sown shut. Sio absolutely hit the gym so it wasn't like nobody was working out. Some of this just doesn't make any sense to me.

It's widely known now, that Jerry Martin was fighting some serious illness for a quite some time while he was still working at UCONN. He never told anyone, as far as I know, and never went to the doctor get himself checked either, and the people closest to him, his players and family, didn't really find out until after he left UCONN in January, but it's pretty clear, in hindsight now, that his energy levels and ability to do what he was doing in the past, to motivate, energize, and build the strength and conditioning program was slowing down in the past few seasons as he was battling an aggressive form of cancer quietly, and unknown to anyone, including himself, on his own for a long time. He was just tired and run down most of the time for the past few seasons. It explains a lot.

As the hiring of the new coach, has shown, the energy level of a strength and conditioning coach is very important.

Everyone in the UCONN family, should be doing everything they can do support Jerry Martin and his family.

Contact the school to find out how, if you don't already know on your own.

Where did you hear about that?

Don't you know that even Foley sucks? Diaco might as well have been starting from scratch, at least according to the Apologists.

That's sad. I guess it explains why I change was needed.

There were also several former athletes from UConn on facebook that were buying "Martin Strong" t-shirts months ago to raise some money or show support for Jerry.

I don't think he sucks. But we are also in year 4 of poor OL performance. And while he didn't have the ball the whole time, it just seems odd to me.

If you are great at what you do, and you don't have the ability to do your job, why would you stay? He can't get 100 percent of the credit for results under HCRE and not take any heat for where we are now.

I think WE should really hammer those amongst us that want to segment this by Apologists ... and the Genius (did you receive your MacArthur a few weeks ago?)

Fact is: some of us are Adults. Not Drama queens who change & blow around like a Hershey wrapper in the wind. We were darn right about Edsall ... You were wrong. (He did a fabulous job building ... To a point).

I'd like you all to stop writing abusive posts. But your true character shows. Thank God you're not on our Football team; this is a character flaw.

The only thing I didn't like about Edsall is that he seemed to never be able to figure out mobile QB's. Pat White, Zach Collaros and Dennard Robinson had field days with us. Ok well that and the way he left. So two things.

And I agree, we as fans should be supporting the team not constantly throwing someone under the bus for this or that. We get that the offense is not good and is painful to watch at times. That doesn't mean these young men are terrible. I still have hope that the ship can get corrected by the end of the year and this team can go bowling.
