The score did not indicate how the game was played. Anyone who thinks
otherwise is either delusional or disingenuous. The defense was beaten more
often than an unwanted stepchild. No pressure, no tackling, consistently
getting knocked back, little coverage.
offensively, the line won very few battles and Tolzein looked pedestrian
at best. Mack was the only bright spot.
Here is where we are at. We have a lame duck coach. We have a Qb that
will be on shelf probably at least the first 2 games. The glue that held
together a suspect O line will be out until midseason. And we have a young
D with so many moving parts that it's going to be nearly impossible for it to
be successful early on.
There's a bad moon rising. I like what Ballard has done. But this is going to be
a difficult season I think.
