It's a long sludge to the top. I work with Alex Faust on college football... he's still young but he will rise quickly. He's that good...
We really need to: cut out the stupid penalties in the 2nd half get more heat on Burrow establish a running game and control flow. Hope we have a big 2nd half.
So, we just need to learn how to play competent football and then execute? If that's all, we are GOLDEN.
Mike White should be put in. He sliced up Cincy last year. Can’t get much worse than Flacco. on D the Safeties are terrible and are killing them. And it’s not even Davis. Whitehead is responsible for that TD after the stupid JFM penalty. And that Joyner roughness penalty also bad. Coverage and tackling both lacking.
True that but it's still like getting an engineering degree and then discovering that all they want you to do is design ping pong balls.
Half time observations from the couch. IMO Flacco does not look in Control or even poised today. Staring at one guy from the get go. Without Wilson our WRs do not seem to get any separation at all. TEs what TEs? We need to adjust our game plan especially offensively big time to have a chance. D after a couple of bad penalties is hanging tough, but we need to get to the QB more. Chase is giving Sauce a bunch of shit after plays but Sauce is hanging tough. Our OL is still shaky and that worries me. Kicker is money today.
When Joe Burrow is playing this well the offense needs to score a lot. In this case we will need to score almost every possession the 2nd half which does not sound promising.
