1. This defense is REALLY bad right now. I don't think that's it's the personnel, more of an adjustment to the scheme imo
2. Nelson has not been good. Yes, there were some bogus holding calls against him, but he needs to be better or be replaced
3. Our DB's have been left out on an island and right now, they don't have the talent/speed/experience to make up for it
4. These slow starts HAVE to stop.....PERIOD!!!
5. We need to use Ashcraft more, the guy is a beast!
6. Why do we keep having these formation errors? Shouldn't we have this cleaned up by now?
1. I thought that we looked really sharp when we had those short quick passes and mixed in some runs
2. That Mellusi hurdle was a thing of beauty!
3. Williams had a terrific game, not receiving wise but his blocking was exceptional
4. Allen was a monster today in the 2nd half. It's like someone told him during halftime "You're not playing like a NFL back right now"
5. NO turnovers!
6. Mordecai is getting better every game!
7. Bell is doing what I thought Pauling would/might do
8. It's like we're two different teams in each half but I'll take a 2nd half team every day
This team is a work in progress, adjusting to a new system. It's SO tough to go from a power running team to an air raid in 6 months! In my own little fantasy world, I envisioned this team to dominate. In hindsight, I now realize that it's not an easy task. Not that I like to lose but I'm OK with some losses here and there until Fick/ Longo/Tressel get their guys. We all want to win now, but that's just not realistic. Fickel is a proven winner, PLEASE give him time to put together HIS team!
