Rugby Saint II

First of all everybody step back from the ledge. It looks bad but things generally appear worse than they actually are. I admit yesterdays game sucked from the game plan to the execution. Drew is still Drew. Remember he was out for six weeks with an injury. The team really stepped up in his absence and looked good for his return but the passion just wasn't there this game.

There were several factors contributing to this loss. The primary one was the penalties killing our drives or extending theirs. Peat was horrible but Clapp was even worse. Armstead looked like he should have been in the bed recovering. Kamara was till obviously hobbled. We abandoned the running game way too early and became one dimensional. We dropped way too many passes and Drew had no one to throw to except MT in triple coverage. Losing Lattimore was also key to a less than stellar defense. Also, where was that run stopping run defense? We couldn't get pressure with the front four and when we blitzed Ryan hit the open receiver. The game plan was the wrong one! They switched things up and caught us totally unprepared.

I wonder if Payton getting engaged has taken his edge away?
