Where are we now

Great Front seven with a good rotation even with Avril hurt, depth there has been a godsend, Reed Hammy is a concern but he should recover.

Not getting into a debate but we have a top QB

We have a Good Receiver core.

We have a great Punter.

We have a Kicker that now can be called Jekyll and Hyde.

We have a secondary now that is questionable at best, at worst they are going to be tested like no secondary we have had in 8 years due to injuries.

We have a O line that we shudder to have the ball snapped with.

We have no running game to speak of, still in week ten trying to find a RB.

Our special teams are unremarkable as far as returns.

Going forward we are or will be forced to change coverage types without proven guys and on offense we have to throw the restraints off, we are going to have to keep up with other teams I think, we are going to have to hope the young guys season quickly in the secondary.

Coaching.


Pete, you now are forced to adapt the philosophy, ball control and possession isn't going to work when the celebrated part of your defense is in the MASH unit.

Bevell, where do I start, game planning you now have to attack a weakness, you and Pete have to trust Wilson and take the gloves off and let him wing it and be a Gunslinger, your going to have to have multi level route trees with quick hitters and crossing patterns and let him take risks knowing sometimes your gonna make a mistake and trust him to make very few.

Cable, go to the power run scheme and bring back Reese.

Special teams, have to start scheming to break Lockett open.

This now is going to show us how good Pete and his staff is, if this team collapses then it is on the Staff for not adapting to the circumstances. If we start to win games and do it decisively then it could be his best coaching job since 2012 2013 when he had to coach and teach this team that they could win and how to win.

Agree on all points except:

I'm not going to pass judgement on the secondary until we see them play 2 games. We have never seen our secondary without Sherman since he got here, so we lack data.

Absolutely correct about bevell and cable. Even if they stumble into something that works, they will change it as soon as we start seeing positive results. They can't get out of their own way. At this point, if I were Pete I would tell them to study the best 3 ranked olines and offenses and copy it. That way we don't have to rely on the brains of either (which are obviously after years of data, flawed).

We are a heart driven backyard ball team that can win any game. Bad news is we can just as easily lose any game. This is completely regardless of the team we play.

Let's just hope we keep it interesting.
