Five Things That Would Make Us Better...

Five things that would make us better right now: a challenge to the board.

Ok, so a few weeks ago, I stated a bunch of things that I thought would make the D better right now. However, I've been thinking, what could make us better overall right now (aside from a change in coaching)?

Here are my top five. I look foward to hearing all of yours.

1. Brown becomes our second starting CB, after McKenzie (who looked pretty darn good last game). Brown looked great last game (and he has good size), with the exception of tripping over the paint in the endzone.
2. Defense implements more run blitzes. Too often our guys are getting too deep in the offensive backfield to stop the run - they are after the QB and they are failing to control the line.
3. Focus on our fundamentals on the O-line. We have good to great players on our line - regardless of how they look these days. These guys need to get it together and now. If we eliminate the false starts, we earn an extra 20 to 40 yards a game.
4. Eliminate the two TE set. It is a bust. Our TEs are merely ok and not getting any better. I love Boo, but he's not getting it done - but, worse than that, NONE of the other guys are either. With a FB set, we'll get an extra 10 to 40 yards a game.
5. WRs need to catch the ball. We have guys running moderate to good routes. Our QB has not looked all that bad. We need to focus on the catch AND then on getting yardage. These guys are all too interested in making the highlight reel. Just catch the freakin' ball!

Cheers.
