Trepidation about what we will see in 2015

All around the league franchises are shaking things up. If something isn't working, it needs to be changed. In fact, change is the precursor to curing many ills. This coach refuses to adjust and will sit status quo. One of the worst special teams units for years running and a limp offense that doesn't get the job done when needed. I'm sure DG will sign some FA help and do well in the draft again. Parts of this coaching staff needed to go and it will not be happening. I don't know if some new players can cure the stagnation that has seemed to set into parts of this team. Hard to be overly optimistic when nothing is improved upon as far as the coaching staff goes.

If our roster improves, our record will improve. But after two trips to the playoffs, we should be thinking bigger. Can this staff out coach other staffs in the playoffs? Can this roster match other rosters in the playoffs? Our highly touted defense has been undone by balanced offenses two straight years. Maybe we need to be more prolific on offense because the defense cannot keep us in these divisional games.

Looks like the plan for 2015 is to upgrade the roster.

Gettleman has erased any doubt that he is onboard with Rivera and his staff.

Saw a lot of botched plays and missed opportunities out there this year.

An improvement in key roster talent might be enough to correct that issue.

Rivera and Shula still need to solve the riddle of the red zone and the two minute offense.

If they do next year may turn out to be a good one after all.

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
