IF Will Rodgers practices with the first team O for two full weeks and starts verse the Elephants.

A few things to consider:

1. I am assuming we got rid of some divisive players this past week. Takes some time for the effects of that change to be seen.

2. Costello - the situation sucks everyway you look at it. This was a star transfer looking to pad his resume to get into the league. That is just not happening. After watching yesterday I think a lot of the issues stemmed from the players didn't want to play for him (my opinion) I have been in locker rooms where players didn't care for someone and it shows on the field. No one blocked for him, effort was worse than a wiped puppy wanting to stand up, routes were slow, and worse no one helped him get up every time he was hit.

Now to Will Rodgers. I am not saying that he is going to be all world. But, there is a very clear distinction in effort, execution, decision making, and over all team comradery when he was out on the field. The line was just better, did they suck still? yes. But, they had more pep in their steps and they clearly wanted to block for Rodgers. and his decision making was night and day better than Costello.

1. He ran this offense in high. basic understanding goes along way, he worked with the receivers basically all summer, that's huge. And Leach has been recruiting him for along time, that tells me Leach knows he can run this offense.

2. I have been thinking this whole time I cannot judge Leach's offense yet because he has the wrong play caller in there, ill judge him hard on the stupidity of not putting Rodgers in early. But, Rodgers was sick and basically became available last week. So, where I stand is IF Rodgers gets the 1st team reps for 2 weeks straight and our offense comes out and sucks an egg verse Bama and looks the way we have looked with no sign on growth. THEN I will jump on the wagon that this offense might, MIGHT not work. But, I have a strong feeling that we will see major improvement in two weeks. I'll eat crow if we don't. But, I think we all will be pleasantly surprised.

Hail freaking State!
