First, why was our running game so bad this year? East to just blame Bobo/Searels, but is that really the full story? Is it a talent issue? Injuries? Or is it more on the RBs than we think? Etienne and Frazier seem to be top end talents, but most of the time were bottled up. It’s very weird if you look at the drop off in per game yardage. How do you fix this?
Also, why did we have so many effort issues this year? Why did we look uninterested and not as hungry in many games? Why the slow starts, missed tackles, and dropped passes? What changed? Simply the wear and tear of an insanely hard schedule? Team leadership? What’s the impact of coaching here? At the same time, we were extremely resilient and able to “turn it on” when needed in many games. How can we improve our effort and consistency next year? What does this involve that was missing this year?
Finally, who is our game breaker at every position next year? We have to have one, whether through development, recruiting, or the portal. In 2021, we had at least one difference maker at every single position. As well as we’ve recruited, it seems crazy that our roster feels somehow devoid of top end talent at key positions like OL, DL, WR, TE, S, CB.
