Nice to see you admit there's something you don't understand, all other evidence to the contrary. And thanks for confirming your only qualification to make any of your previous observations is hubris.
There's plenty to criticize about Taggart's comments since his arrival, just not enough space to chronicle all of them. If we're going to take Taggart at his literal word, Herbert's main problem is his tendency toward quietude. His perceived inability to look off DBs may be another case of amateurish diagnosis. Let's see if reading his eyes shows up as part of the opponents' "book" on Herbert as a sophomore. The guys who face him every day in practice didn't have much success with that yesterday.
To motivate his guys through the summer, the coach lobbed the conditional threat fully aware it left him plenty of wiggle room. The quiet kid did OK letting his game speak for itself to his teammates last year.
