White played well enough to deserve every snap left this season.

 

And he did that the 2nd half of Tulsa.  So his 1.5 quarters has earned him all the starts?  Don't know what he graded out at yesterday but up to that point Bench had the 2 highest grades (from the coaches) of the season.  So why didn't he start Bench yesterday?  There are some questions that can only be answered in Taggart's mind.

Houston game. I'm really not sure why you are such a staunch Bench supporter. But more power to you, I wish he was as good as you make him out to be :/
 

While your head coach was calling for White to spike the ball on the last play he had the sense to signal in the play that won the game. But he has no sense/feel of the game I guess.  Has been around football all his life and has more of a grasp of the game than the other two.  No, he isn't Tom Brady but he knows the game, is mobile and if you pull up his high school highlights can make all the throws that White can make.

 

I dont buy all of that. Are you saying that Taggart was motioning White to spike the ball on 4th down and didnt realise that? I believe you may be talking about 3rd down when they ran the ball and the clock kept running. I hope CWT was not that lost out there as you have heard. Watching the game on TV it looked like CWT was yelling at White to run a play. Didnt see the spike ball motion but maybe I was missing something.  Bench may end of being a good coach one day, but I have seen enough of him at QB to see that he does not worry the other teams defense with his passing. As soon at Houston went up 7-0, I pretty much felt that the game was over with Bench out there because he does not lead the offense.

Yes, Taggart wanted a spike on 4th and White questioned it. Right after the bone head run on 3Rd call. Goes way beyond any issue Holtz had with time outs.
 

Slick.. don't act as if you know this as fact.

You are going on hearsay (by CousinRicky) and have no other proof/evidence/knowledge of it than that

Yeah, I don't buy this at all. The best explanation I can come up with is we call 2 plays, knowing that we run on 3rd down to try and catch the defense off guard. If we don't score on 3rd down, we got time to run the 4th down play that's already been called - does this explain White confirming/getting the signal from the sideline? I wasn't at the game or recall what I saw on tv, so not sure about that.

 

 

Also making a quick circular motion with one hand (like is done to hurry up) can look like a spike from far away.  There are also there are players on record saying the initial play call was for a sticks route/play and it was changed to a fade and it gets more dubious.  Then throw in the confirmation bias of someone who doesn't like Taggart as a coach and has a HUGE man crush on Bench and you get the theory that was trotted out about the alleged spike call.  Cousin Ricky is a great poster and usually gives GREAT information but I think he got this one totally wrong and maybe some bias got in the way of that.....

You idiots can believe what you want.  Taggart was signaling for him to spike the ball.  That makes it a fact. I was at that game. I share half of what I can on here.  About done with it.

^ There's 50% more that you're not at liberty to discuss? That sounds ominous...

Ricky has shown nothing but love for our Bulls and insight and wisdom. He has no reason to flame or lie about something as incredible as this.

It is deeply troubling.

From what I have seen this season and last I trust what you are saying implicitly.

I don't believe this whole Taggart conspiracy theory. 

 

 

Watch White's motion at the beginning of the video and listen to the players. White's motion could be confused for a spiking motion

Maybe their spike motion means something else. Doesnt always have to be straightforward. Signals are always changed and maybe that was the play that was called in.

Im not calling anyone a liar. Just saying maybe their spike motion means their "sticks" play.

CWT does the hand motion at the end of talking to White after the time out.
