QB concerns vs. Duke

OntheHudson87
I am going out on the limb and assume that Bradshaw’s injury is serious enough that he might not play against Duke.

But my real concern is who will be backing up AJ. Maybe it is just me, but I am thinking that if we had a somewhat competent back-up for AJ last Saturday versus PSU, Schurr would have been benched at least by the start of the 3rd quarter. Obviously, Bradshaw was unable to play, so who is next in line and will that person be ready if needed on Saturday against the Blue Devils? :mad:

Progress is an ATTITUDE

I posted in a thread earlier:
"But, we should all see the difference a few weeks make.
  1. I did not feel good about our play against Fordham.
  2. UCONN was better but lackluster.
  3. Wake was a shame the "O" failed to show up.
  4. Eastern Michigan was a show. (and really fun to watch)
  5. Penn State was the disappointment of knowing we were better that day.
What is the difference a few weeks has shown.... Steady, steady improvement."

I continue to like the ATTITUDE Army players and coaches show in their play and actions and approach from week to week. Here is what Coach Monken said in his press conference today:

"for people to sit and analyze and evaluate and say 'gosh I don't know if these guys are making progress, they're not winning any football games,' but there's progress being made. I can just tell more than anything by the way our guys compete, the looks on their faces, the resiliency they have when their backs are against the wall. When something doesn't go our way, they don't panic, they just come back and fight and I think we've got a tough football team that plays really hard and they're focused on getting better and doing their job. All of those things are helping us improve and making us a better football program. So there's a lot of ways we've improved as a football team. I definitely don't think we've gone backwards or taken a step back at all, I think each week we've gotten better."

We must all believe...... Beat Duke this week !!!

GBK: Change in Policy

Charles Grevious
This is a subject that has been bounced around by executives within Rivals and myself for some time now, but it was mutually agreed upon that now is probably the best time to address this issue as we continue to see growth with the subscribers here on GoBlackKnights.com. It will serve as an opportunity to speak to both our “newbies” along with our longtime members ... both of whom we appreciate.

Our “competition” is interesting that one might think it comes from the Scout.com Army site, but it is more of marriage/separation relationship with the supported Scout.com site (Army) and a local beat reporter.

Since the Scout.com Army site never (or perhaps rarely is a better term) interviews coaches or players, covers the actual games live, game day chat (e.g., Cover-It-Live Blog/Chat), cover practices, etc .... most of their information comes from their posters themselves or posters who link articles, coverage, etc from the local beat reporter’s blog - this has been going on for years, which is fine with me. Whatever floats your boat.

Why aren’t we overly concern with the said competition? Because we humbly believe that GBK remains the most in-depth coverage of the team from top to bottom and a great relationship with the coaching staff and West Point the institution.

So what is our concern and/or question?

Well, some of our subscribers who have migrated from our Scout.com “competition” ... We now find them bringing those same habits of posting/linking articles, videos, etc. from the local reporter’s blog. We probably wouldn’t have a problem with that, if the opportunity presented itself to post our non-premium or even premium links (e.g., articles, videos, etc.) to that person’s blog, etc.. But as we know, viewers are not always signed into blogs to post but just to view.

Therefore the question that has been out there for some time now is ... should GBK dis-allow links from subscribers to the local beat writer’s blog to be posted on our premium message board? Or, what other alternatives would could be recommended?

To quote one Rivals executive ...

“... To me it's like owning a restaurant and someone bringing McDonald's in and sitting down in your restaurant and eating it. Then talking about how good it is as loud a possible.

I say no, don't allow it.”

The breaking point for us came when a video of the post game (Army-Penn State) press conference was posted on the 12th Knight message board. However, our post game article include the post article included the press conference (albeit audio).

Anyway, after in-depth conversation within the Rivals network leadership, we have made the decision to not allow such links to Scout.com (which doesn’t happen here at all, but worth noting nonetheless) or Sal’s (who is a gentleman from my brief interaction with him) content (e.g., blogs, Twitter, etc.) on our message boards. We are not looking to penalize (banning) anyone for such actions, we just ask that you please be respectful of our decision in this matter.

By the way, if someone would like to say that “I heard from an outside source that X,Y&Z is or has unfolded”, we are presently okay with that type of dialogue.

Thanks in advance for understanding. However if by chance you have any questions and what to reach out to me directly, I welcome the opportunity to engage in conversation around this topic and I can be reached at RivalsGoBlackKnights@gmail.com.

P.S. Please do not copy/paste or share his outside of the 12th Knight message board network. Thank you.
