1. You knew it was going to be a long season when our defense jumps offside on the first play from scrimmage.

2. Szott's injury is a blessing in disguise. Let's face it, we aren't going to the Super Bowl this year and Szott is retiring at the end of the year. Might as well give playing time to his eventual replacement.

3. I thought our passing game looked good in the second half. Yes, we dropped balls, but on the bright side: a) Elvis was able to move the ball around to different wideouts, b) Morris emerged as a potential star and showed great athleticism, and c) Raye called passing plays where our receivers were able to get open. Those three items are huge improvements over last year.

4. I was very disappointed in our OL's run blocking. For a seasoned group of vets they did not open many holes. In past 12 years we were able to execute to perfection and gain yardage even though our opposition knew we would run.

All of our major problems stem from coaching, except for the lack of a pass rush, we just don't have talent their. Dropped balls, poor execution, stupid penalties, idiotic soft zone coverage, etc., all come from the fact that our first unit didn't play enough in the preseason and due to coaching inadequacies. Gunther was one helluva DC, it is a shame to see him over his head as HC. <BR>
