While the game (first half) looked bad, when you step back and take a look at the stats it really was a dominating performance. SELA only had 208 yards of offense for the game and the bulk of that was on their one scoring drive when our defense just put their head up their ass for some reason. On the other hand we racked up over 500 yards with almost 300 of that on the ground. We only had one penalty all game. No stupid false starts or holding that kill drives. No turnovers.
As for the defense we followed a trend yesterday that started when Arnett was DC. We had a habit of the first few drives looking like a monkey 17ing a football out there and then we adjusted and shut the other team down the rest of the way. It makes me wonder if they're bad at game planning but can make excellent in game adjustments. Whatever we do it seems to usually work out in the end.
Offense looked like a steaming pile at times yesterday. Will is what Will is. He's not going to hit, or even throw, a 30 yard seam route much at all. He's comfortable doing his check downs and I think that's what he's going to do. Done it his whole career. Not going to change his last season. I think moving him out to WR when Wright is in at QB is borderline window licking stupid. Only thing I can figure is we have a gimmick play where they will actually throw it to him because he will be wide assed open. I just don't see putting yourself at a disadvantage the rest of the season. We have some massive weapons at receiver. Put them all on the field and see if Wright can hit them more often than not. With out running backs and Wright's run threat that would put a massive amount of stress on a defense. Then you put Marks in a pass pattern and you don't have enough defensive backs. That said, that is all dependent on our line being able to block.
