The offense sucks. No question. And when you play complimentary football and one side of the ball sucks, it affects everything. Just a LITTLE momentum on offense can turn things for the entire team in a massive way. In a quick way. But alas, it's deja vu again this half.
We are tackling better today.
We are blocking in space and on the perimeter better.
Body language and energy is MUCH better than last few weeks.
None of these are up to our standard yet, but they are improved.
We continue to be sloppy in the little things. The details we have mastered under Kirby that have been our identity just aren't sharp. I think that's player leadership, but also coaching leadership.
My instinct as an outsider is Kirby looks like he's coaching on an island without enough surrogates of his standard. He's outwardly trying to practice the composure he preaches, but he's close to blowing up on this staff, IMO.
