Something Else For Optimism, Maybe

Here's SOMETHING ELSE for optimism, that I was thinking about this morning. Besides just sitting around saying "man, we suck."

OK. So Coach Vitt is suspended for 6 games. That sucks. Do you think he is backpacking through Thailand right now, do you think he is puttering around his house in his bathrobe doing nothing? OF COURSE NOT.

He will be sitting there with his Red Zone, his TIVO, his DVR. and his deluxe NFL.com "Game Rewind" package, which features the 22's -- the coaches' footage of all 22 players from overhead, top view, end zone view, FOR EVERY GAME. You can buy this now. For every game, every team.

Think about it. Vitt can sit there on his couch with his notepad and watch every snap of Falcons football, 100 times each, if he wants to. He can study every scheme and play and formation of every team that we are going to face on his 10 games of the schedule, as the season goes on, from now until the day he comes back. Denver, SF, all these teams we're so skeered of right now.

Most teams' coaches simply don't have that kind of time to prepare and watch film, of THIS year's games. Most coaches have to go through the season and fine tune their preparations for each team, one game at a time, crammed into the week or two weeks before they install the scheme and gameplan for that game. They usually get other people to watch the film for them, and then those assistants will draw their attention to stuff. But Vitt has NOTHING TO DO but sit there hunkered down and watch film of the Saints and their opponents, and prepare for coaching those ten games -- the stretch of Denver, Philly, Atlanta, Niners, Giants, and the remaining divisional games.

I think that this has to be worth something, no? We won't know until we get there but I have this feeling that he is gonna come back to coaching well prepared and loaded for bear on every little detail of these teams we have to face.
