Agree with point 1. That's the "right pass" in that scenario.
Agree with point 2. Development is the key part of this coaching staff's job. I somehow suspect they know this though, they are professionals and don't need us to tell them. Assuming they don't is absurd.
Point 3, of course I don't. But if I see it as borderline BS and I think it's detrimental, I'm calling it out, respectfully. It has the potential to do more damage than good.
I'd love to see the Gills do an open training session so that fans can see that guys like SC, RS and DI are already doing these things and have been for years. It bewilders me. In the heat of a match, it's not always easy to reframe that instinct.
