Bitching about the 2004 Season

Its a domino effect in my opinion

1) JT has lost faith in the OL and backs as shown on the 3rd and short in the last 2 games

2) Zwick has happy feet...some due to pressure, some due to implied pressure. When he missed open receivers all game long, his feet nor shoulders were set.

3) The 3 and outs by the O are wearing down the D...we aren't as deep as we all think. When these guys tire, it shows

4) Again, the Oline did not execute well...better but not well.

5) Lydell showed improvement, but he must be more consistent. After watching AP today, I realized the difference in an adequate back and a great back

6) Youth, youth, youth. Young players make young mistakes...I saw at least 2 miscues on coverage switches. I couldnt get a good look at the DL but if I had to guess, it was happening there too

Adrian Peterson was awesome today...has better burst, breaks tackles better, keeps his balance, better vision/decision making...better O-Line as well. That is one special talent.

Ant, First off I hope you got a chance to read my response on BN before the thread was nuked

I agree JZ had a horrible day and was rattled, but again the pressure was on him all game long. TS may have scrambled and set his feet better to throw, but then again he may have passed up those downfield shots by taking off.

there are a number of problems right now...I honestly cannot say JZ is the biggest

So what you're saying is... "WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE TROY SMITH?!" :wink:
Not at all...

I want the QB who gives us the best chance to win. JT thinks it is JZ so I go with that. How do we know Smith would have scrambled out and made a play? he may have scrambled and forced something as the receivers went into the scramble drill which gives the DBs a natural break.

I have NOTHING against TS but I am of the opinion to trust the coaches

Time to recharge the sarcasm batteries... they must be low, because people aren't picking up the signals. Stupid Duracells...
