I make sure the assigner knows how bad of a job this crew did - they totally ignored all of the video we have watched and the instruction our instructional chair has given. The R was the worst of the crew. Now, my opinion isn't the end all, be all, but there is not reason to lack hustle and strong mechanics. He couldn't get into position to see plays because he was being super lazy!

Bingo, I'm working with this guy on Tuesday! So I tell my friend who my crew is for Tuesday. I hadn't told him about seeing this official and I told him who both my partners are. He sends me a text saying, "You are going to want to kill_______." Mmm, so this is a problem.

It has been many years, if ever, where I've had to deal with such a combination of things that go against the crew concept and doing a good job on a game. But I need him for 32 minutes, if not longer, so I have to devise a strategy to make this happen. I don't know him and what I would normally say to him may piss him off so I have to be careful. He is that bad.
