To add to my last post, I think for me, I blame more of our woes on extremely poor coaching and injuries than our roster being egregiously worse than everyone else’s.
Sure, we could use a big WR, LG, a fat DT, and maybe a secondary guy or two, but we aren’t a 5-12 roster. I mean, for as bad as DA was, we sure played a lot of close games, some against some really good opponents, and I’d like to think a great coach could have been the edge in many of those games.
Subpar coaching has not maximized the players we have on the roster and drafted, and we have had an abnormal amount of depth all on the field at the same time due to injuries, which spells disaster for just about any team.
So maybe that’s why I’m a lot more in a “Let’s plug these holes and try to win” mode than most are. I look at our roster and see a different picture than most people do.
It’s an average roster with some holes, primed and ready to take off if we can string together a good off-season haul, starting tomorrow, and get a little bit more good fortune going our way in games. JMO.
