real problems....no real answers

4 and stinking 3.
i never would have thought thats where the Boys would be at this point.
i thought our O-line was better than that.
thought our defense was WAY better than that.
this team does have real problems.
special teams is another real problem.
then throw in the perception that the team has no identity or mental toughness.
our record indicates those are all valid, REAL problems.
but i havent seen any real solutions.
i dont think firing Wade is the answer. do you really want to throw it all out the window midseason ? i dont.
you cant really fire players and expect to just go get better ones.
so what can we do ?
you just have to hope that the re-evaluation Wade says they are doing turns up something that can have positive effects.
you have to hope the players look inside themselves and decide THEY ARE going to play better.
you might release a player if you think " a message " needs sending.
you might fire a special teams coach to open some eyes on the coaching staff.
you might demote a player or two to let these guys know they have to earn their spots.
you might stiffen some penalties for players who keep making the same mistakes over
and over again.
you might even throw a kicking, screaming, spit flying tirade.
but you dont lay down and quit. not now. not ever.
you dont blow the whole thing up.
not at this point in the season. NOT YET.
so instead of going off half cocked, put some thought into what you CAN DO...then
DO IT !!!
later Poke
