Hoofball and long ball are quite different. Hoofball is hurried, whack it upfield and hope it goes to one of your players.

Amazing how views can differ. I see JBG as a great player, and at times our BEST player.
I also think of Ashley Barnes as under-rated because people can only see his battling and gamesmanship... despite his fantastic touch as ferocious shot.
