And I don't mean about the team being bad, because their "badness" is beyond belief. What I mean is assigning blame to a coach (or GM) and reaching a conclusion as to his fitness to do the coaching/GM job. All offseason, it seems all I've read is that Sam Bradford is a good QB, when healthy, but he's never healthy. So I bought into that assessment. Well Sam is healthy, but he's been terrible, and doesn't seem capable of throwing a pass more than 10 yards down field. Is he a pitcher who has lost his fastball? Or a victim of poor game planning? I have no idea, but feel that we'll soon find out, as the staff must realize that the offense must take more chances "down the field". The problem with football, as opposed to baseball and basketball is that there is only one game a week, and thus fans have more time to figure out what is wrong, and assign blame. I think our WR's are not good, and if Larry is out (probably) I don't see them improving, this week. But I'm hopeful. Our OL has protected SB to a point, but that is possibly due to the dink and dunk game plan. They have not been able to generate a running game. Our DL was bad in rush defense in game one, and we adjusted, and improved in that area, but flip flopped with our pass defense.
We have the G-Men (Golden, Gresham) who tease us that they might be soon on the field, but always seem to end up as inactives.
We have TWO #1 draft picks who don't seem to have a position.
Former high draft pick, B. Williams, who supposedly made the team because of his ST play. Through two games, don't remember much of a ST impact from him, but I might be wrong. And our loooooong standing need for CB #2 is till a need. I'll close with two points:
1. There is enough blame to go around.
2. Look at Tampa Bay. There is hope.
