Hairston with 23 minutes, and another atrocious shooting percentage.

Meanwhile, Frank rides the bench.

Clifford better not last the season if this poo continues.

I agree on Clifford and Frank needing minutes.  And while I agree that Pj's shooting has been atrocious thus far, to his credit, he is most likely playing the best defense of anyone on the team. 

I just really am surprised with how bad his shooting has been though because he never seemed like a volume shooter to me through college, he seemed very efficient...  But again, Idk how much I can put on him versus trying to get his before he randomly gets taken out again thanks to Cliff's no rhyme or reason rotations.  Not absolving PJ of what he's done thus far, but I think everything with this team is very cyclical,and to be honest, shot selection and shooting overall is worse than I thought it would be. 

But seriously, I know what talent and ability looks like, and this team has enough that they should not be 0-3 right now.  Clifford got a pass the first season because Al played out of his mind, but his weaknesses have shown up again and again.  Furthermore, for him to be a "defensive-minded" coach, I just can't understand how his teams consistently blow their assignments and leave shooters wide open...   It is insane.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think PJ is our only problem obviously.

I don't know if there is a disconnect between Clifford, and Cho, but we didn't draft Kaminsky with the experience he brings to the table to just let him rot on the sideline. That is horseshit to put it mildly.

On another note, a problem that has plagued us for a long time now with Clifford is still happening though, a clear inability to close games.

PJ has been terrible in every aspect these three games. Still don't understand why he is getting minutes over Lamb

I will admit that I haven't seen all 48 minutes of each game, but IMO PJ has played well defensively from what I have seen. Right now though, we need offense, so I agree that Lamb should be getting those minutes. 

Perhaps Lamb is still getting his wind back?

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
