Quote:Parnell was not a liability last year, he was a solid upgrade at RT. 


Cann was surprisingly good as a rookie RG and a future star. He was not responsible for a single sack last year.


Yeldon averaged over 4 years per carry last year, only 3.6 this year.


 

What changed?

 

Bringing in good players year after year is not going to matter if the culture in the locker room gives the players no incentive to improve.

 

Too much yoga and ice cream during the offseason programs. A failure to understand and commit to power running from the moment Gus said we'd be a power rushing team with a zone blocking scheme. The wrong personnel groups, we had a smallish DT as our number one blocking back for goodness sake. Nothing about this team said "power running" to anyone.
