You must never have played the game if you think his position group didn't get that message loud and clear even in the pitch darkness of night, with his lack of communication skills and spit flying out of his mouth. It took me all of ten seconds to understand what he was so ineloquently trying to say - seems effective.
Or: "Pardon me Francis, I know we lost, and I know they had 300 plus yards of rushing, but you participated as a D-1 Scholarship athlete out of that field and by golly, I'm proud of you! Perhaps next week you'd engage our game plan and attempt to fill the hole you're responsible for, rather than allowing the Offensive linemen to treat you like a blocking dummy, and release on the linebackers all day. I know you'll try and do better - here's you participation helmet sticker."
