No kidding...  Imagine if the tacks had abandoned the run half way through the third quarter yesterday.  They probably lose by 20ish.  Granted, we don't have a Henry, but Robinson is no slouch.

They don't like Robinson. At least not right now. Outside of Lawrence not a fan of this off-season and preseason. Week 1 and 2 not helping.

They have to have a strong standing next game. If they compete and we see improvement that would be good for where we are now. Winning will be great when it comes but competency would be nice right now.
