I would like to put the blame for Saturday's game directly where it belongs. ON THE FREAKING PLAYERS THEMSELVES!!!!!
Both on offense and defense, the coaches are calling good plays and the players aren't executing the plays. Missed tackles, missed blocks, fumbles and missed easy ten yard catches are always disasters. Anyone in their right mind must understand that the coaches preach fundamentals on a daily basis and when the players do not execute, it is just as troubling for the coaches as the fans. Every play is designed to go for a touchdown, including plays up the middle. If the players would execute, we wouldn't have to complain about the OC (there is nothing to complain about anyhow). The players must be made accountable for their actions and play better......including #5. Are you kidding me with that fumble on the six yard line??????
One aspect of the new coaching staff I really appreciate is the business like direction they have taken the team. The high school coaching staff we had before is gone and we now have professionals that are not going to accept poor effort. My guess is that Ringer will not be starting this week. The same needs to be done with the cup cakes on defense. Either they perform or they should find someone who wants to play.
Damn the graduation rate!!!! This winter, the Zips need to find some JUCO players that can immediately step in to make an impact. The JUCO players will force the LO recruits to either become better players, or leave the team. Also, the JUCO players will allow some of the young recruits to mature before they are thrown into the fire. Either way, the fans win.
