I waited a full day before peeking in here, and I was not disappointed with the histrionics. One game does not a season make, and this loss, and the way we lost, could well be a nice splash of cold water in the face for some guys too busy reading their press clippings about our “vaunted O”. We did see that O in the second half–21 points and over 200 yards. But if we have a problem with winning this year it will be due to the D. Considering the amount of time on the field, I thought they battled well, but I sense we are in the wrong scheme. We just cannot consistently stop the run..especially cannot get off the field on third down. I have never been a fan of the 3-4 or 3-5. We have been gashed on the outside for several years now. Stopping the run and pressuring the QB is where it’s at. I think our secondary is improved, and with a good pass rush, they will get their opportunities for picks. It is well thought that the best mark of any team is the improvement it makes from the first to second week. With a quality opponent, we will know for sure how good or bad we are by 10 p.m. this coming Saturday.
