  1. I’m a little conflicted on this. My mind says 100% you have to value your team and not set that example of letting him return. But my heart says let the teammates decide. Let this be the one time they have an example of “the grass isn’t always greener.” Use that as the one time example of allowing the prodigal son to return and use as a case study to others that are pondering leaving. He was a great teammate up until his departure. Unlike others that checked out early and it was obvious. I miss the quickness he provided when hitting the hole.

    How many dropped passes?  How many times did the turf tackle our players?  There is plenty of blame to go around.  Let's just see where we go from here.  You guys are turning CAG's 'process' into xCJS's 'culture'.  Both are and were necessary.  They were just easy target words to vent anger.

    I agree with this as well. But CAG says specifically that the “process” must be perfected in order to win. But sometimes a well executed game plan will trump process. And obviously, the more we play and put our weaknesses on tape, the more our defense will get exploited and our offense will get stuffed. I agree there are a lot of issues that need addressing. This team isn’t an easy fix, especially as injuries pile up. Lastly, I’ll say we play better with a chip on our shoulders. Maybe we are trying to be underdogs the rest of the season so we are inspired to fight.

  3. Here’s the problem with blaming the “process.” It lets you off the hook as a game planner play caller and as the architect of strategy. The process is a boogeyman. No real answers are being given when real questions are getting asked. The problem isn’t that someone ate chips the day before, thus dooming their chances for a Saturday victory.
     

    Here are a few of the the glaring issues that I see on offense: Ineffective offensive line, lack of setting up the big plays, reliable 5-10 yard dump pass plays or 5 yard slants, lack of creativity and playmakers. I think we could do so much more, even with what we have, but we have to scheme it that way. In a nutshell, I think our Xs and Os is a bigger problem than the process.

    Stopped reading after you said it’s not trending well in the Twitter verse. Go look at some of the respected offensive scheme football pages. Ran by former coaches who know ball. They love this hire because of the scheme. No one knows if he will be a homerun. No one ever knows when you hire a guy. But this is NOT Jeff Scott. And I’m willing to bet if we didn’t flirt with such a polarizing figure figure in prime, the sentiment in our own community would be much different. In reality, “missing” on prime has no barring on if this hire will be a success or not. 

    Agreed!
