Coming off the bye


lightsout

Recommended Posts

Either I have missed the articles, or the coaches have done well to keep the necessary chewings behind closed doors, but I expect some MAJOR changes on the field coming off the bye. I thought that maybe there would be a story of Ron going all Captain Blood and ramping intensity this past week. Or maybe TD or Luke or Cam holding a player's only meeting. But I've heard nothing. So please, if I missed it (hectic schedule this past week, in the process of buying first house), link me up.


We need there to be a different attitude to this team. We can't concede this season. Winning out should be the goal, the focus, and the motivation each and every week. Winning the day of practice so you don't lose your job or get out-worked by the opposing team. Winning each play individually during the game at your position. Winning each series. Winning field position. Winning turnover battle. Winning in the kicking game. Winning the quarter. Winning the half. Winning the game.

This team has got to rally hard and show up next Sunday ready to tear Arizona apart. Start to finish. We had a week off and a week of practice ahead of us to get ready and handle business. No excuse to lose this next game. Because if we drop 2 games, we're done. Period. If we drop only one the rest of the season, we still have a chance. The only way to all but guarantee the playoffs is to win out. So this team needs it's act together. If we finish 8-8 or worse, that has to be considered total failure for this team.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
