This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Re: Jeffery by flanner96
My working theory is the coaching staff has been more than happy to let other teams think that they are shutting off Jeffery while the offense learns to play together. He's been more aggressive this year so far, and could have had a couple more goals by now that goalies made nice plays on, but we have didn't have to ask too much of him against Georgetown because we were getting everyone involved.
In the past, if someone tried to take Pat or Chris away, Jake Taylor would go and score 7 goals. Swap out "Jake Taylor" for "Ted Lally, Luke Miller, etc" -- the guys who are getting their first real taste in the offense. Jeffery hasn't been quite as much of a decoy as Pat on one leg in the 2023 championship game, but he's going to get more opportunities to live up to the ACC freshman of the year billing from here on out.
