Mullin from the Trib gave the following grade: Coaching A+ Ron
Turner scrapped the offensive script after the first play and
adjusted to the harsh conditions for an 18-play opening drive
that consumed nearly 11 minutes of the first quarter and
produced a field goal while keeping Brett Favre on the
sidelines. Electing to go for fourth-down conversions three
times was a momentum builder." Great, Turner got a "A+" on the
pop quiz, but he still failed the mid-term and the final and
gets an "F" for the course. Wow, he made an adjustment (about
time) and went with the run/short pass game in gale force winds.
He's must be a bleeping genius to figure out a strategy like
that, NOT! Why haven't we seen Wolfe on sweeps and screens
before today? Because the Turner wanted to keep running him up
the middle (especially when we're on our own one yard line). The
running game worked today because we stuck with it and didn't
(couldn't) pass 50 times like Turner did in previous games (even
when we were winning late in the game!)
