I posted this on the Stadium Wall, and I'll do so here also. We should be careful of the "it's only..." syndrome. First, it was "it's only one game, and we're still tied for first". Now, it'll be "it's only 2 games, and we're just a half game out of first". If this continues, we'll "it's only.." our way through the entire season. The problems CAN be fixed, but we have to acknowledge that there are problems that need fixing!! We can't just say "everything's okay, calm down, there's nothing to worry about". There IS something to worry about:
WE HAVEN'T SHOWN THE ABILITY TO RUN THE FOOTBALL!!!!!!
I refuse to "it's only.." that issue away. What we need is for the line to get tough and start knocking people around (like they've been knocked around) and for the running backs to hit the holes and gain positive yards. Of course, we need to have a committment from Gilbride to run the ball first!
There's also something else we should pay some attention to:
WE HAVEN'T SHOWN THE ABILITY TO STOP TEAMS FROM RUNNING THE FOOTBALL ON US!!!!!!!!!!
Another issue we shouldn't "it's only.." away. Sam Adams was brought here to team up with Pat Williams and prevent teams from running up the gut on us. Well, 4 games into the season, we've been run on by teams that are doing just that-going up the middle! It's very disturbing. I'm sure these guys can come up with something that will work, they just need to do it and soon (like right now!!!)!!!
