What are these things you speak of? Offense getting the job done? Huge Holes? What are these things?
Offense not getting the job done:
1. QB cannot make throws at critical times to keep the chains moving. The more I see of DA the more I am convinced he is scared. His panic is probably the main reason for his inaccurate throws (that and footwork).
2. An offensive line that seems to have all your need. Road blocker guards, servicable OT's and a decent center cannot seem to run the ball with any consistancy. Again, can't get two yards if we need a first down. HOF coach who has had serious, serious sucess in the past.
3. Playmakers not makng plays. Fitzgerald is not horrible, but he has dropped more passes this year then I have seen him drop in that last 5 years. Not only that, we need him to step up more than ever and he is not.
4. Turnovers. Really do I have to elaborate ?
.......I could go on if nessicary ?
Huge Holes:
1. Pass rush. There is none. Our outside linebackers are worthless. Marginal in coverage because they are supposed to be pass rushing threats and they are far from it. I tip my hat to Porter last game, but we need some consistancy, and need a sack in a big play situation.
2. Our best NB is Adrian Wilson. :Shuddder: Michael Adams is horrible, but not as bad as Wilson can be in coverage. Toler and the regressing DRC are a fine set of CB's but our depth is scary. No NB makes it even easier to throw on this team to the inside.
3. Our ILB are either old and slow, or young and weak. Washington will come into his own, but we need someone else in there. Paris is good to have as depth but not as a starter. Hayes is damaged goods.
4. We need an upgrade at center.
5. No tight end on the roster that can block well, tho Dray has promise.
6. No QB.
Again. that is all off the top of my head.
Being 3-5 at this point doesn't surprise me.
