Quote:I enjoy your posts Bullseye. I'm running late for work, so I stopped at your point about Dante Fowler's maturity (I'll read the rest at work). It made me think of one of my main concerns that will likely hold this team back from being a serious playoff contender this year; maturity and the ability to "weather the storm." This team is extremely young with an extremely young coaching staff. They calmed down a bit in the 2nd quarter, but this team is going to have to learn how to react to momentum swinging plays like the fumble (incomplete pass, go jags) from TJ Yeldon. The defense is not there yet, although he pieces are there. They'll gel I think, but this team is going to have to score a lot of points and limit turnovers to win in the first half of the season. Adversity is something they have to learn now, and that only comes in live game situations. I hope Dante and all the youngens can learn quick. The o line...yikes.

 

We need a new coach next year that is a bit more of a tough guy and less of a that's ok you had good effort maybe next time guy. His scheme is horrible. Fowler was held it looked like on two plays and it wasn't called. On one 3rd and long play we rushed 3 and he got around the edge and was tackled by the OT. No call. I suspect our team underwhelms again this year but hopefully we can get a competent head coach and a LG next year.
