The USA loss is very bad and yes it stung but it is impossible to judge a season based on a single bad performance. Three things I saw that must improve and three things that should give us some hope.
1. The back end of our defense- if you don't have the athletes you want back there then you must find a handful of defensive sets that you can do well and focus on that.
2. Our rotation at running back- understand the role each of the backs can play and focus on what they can do well. Let shump block, use Williams more, and use Holloway and deer anyway you can. I think deer can be a guy that can help us but he did make a stupid mistake that hurt us no arguing that.
3. All of our special teams units- we don't return well, we don't kick well, with the expection of kickoff we looked bad on special teams.
1. Deer will return- we need to get him the ball
more.
2. Leo Lewis- he was a tackling machine on Saturday and to me was the best player state had
On either side of the ball.
3. It's the first chance to correct mistakes- as bad as it was Saturday we can't tank on the season as fans we must realize that it's football and the great thing about football is next week we get a chance to correct mistakes.
Spin: some people will say your pumping sunshine but the reality is teams lose games they are not suppose it is what makes the game interesting. The loss is over the real question is how do we respond to it both from a players and coaches perspective.
Prediction: we will correct to the best of our abilities, our coaches will, we will beat Carolina but it will be close.
