I never post here because all of you pretty much cover it before I can even get to the keyboard. Seriously though, even the announcers are asking, "why are they running east west, not north south," "Scott, 1 carry since the first half," "when are they going to start running north south," "thought they were going to pound the rock?"
THEY DON'T FOLLOW THE TEAM LIKE WE DO AND EVEN THEY FIGURED THAT OUT!!
Where were Scott, Simmons, R. Stewart, Jefferson, Ussery, all the "playmakers"? The stable of running backs? The powerful O-Line? Shutdown corners? Pro-prospect at corner? Mahnke? 4th and 1 and we run our slowest RB (Sumler) on a sweep against their best tackler?
Visions of last year:
-Cody running for his life every play.
-No blocking.
-Soft D.
-No D Scott.
-3 yard swing out passes
-Cody throwing 20 yard East/West cross field passes to gain an actual 3 yards
-3rd and 8, all the time
-13% conversion rate on 3rd Downs
I was a Hawk backer, but when you can't snap the @#$@ ball without 0 or 1 second on the play clock and you can't get the @#$# play in on a 3rd and 4 on a crucial drive, what the @#$@# are you doing???!!!??!?? Hawk Jr is barely getting the snap off the entire first half of the game!
How do you have no @#$@#$ timeouts left with 3 minutes left in the game, and you have been in conservation mode for a whole @#$@ quarter?
The worst part is that when McKnight got speared and "fumbled", that was the game changer that took all our momentum away. We go in for a TD on that drive, we win by 2 TDs. Period.
I am off the Hawk bandwagon. He is pretty much going to have to win 8 games this year to keep me a fan of his "style". Sorry for the length of the rant.
