I saw what I wanted to see and it is a vast improvement. It was one game and certainly don't drink the cool aid but it was a good sign to see we seemed to have improved in the very areas we needed to.![]()
Next weeks game will be more telling. I want to see how our guys against Watt. If they can hold their own up front on that side of the ball I'll open the pack of cool aid and pull out a glass. Not saying I'll actually turn on the faucet but I'll be thirsty. |

Re: 92 Passing Yards Allowed and 8 Sacks
I only got to listen to the first half and couldn't get a good assessment of players in the secondary because they were focusing on the line so much. I'm not discrediting them but it's obvious the line did their job. I was able to watch the second half and Swann has to go.
