You know how we usually get worn down and beaten up in Nov - no depth, no QB or even a serviceable back-up, patchwork O-line?
Well, it's all changing and evolving now. This staff will not quietly surrender to 2nd class status and won't let the players occupy a "let's try to make this a respectable loss" mode either. We're going to be the ones who knock (your *sses down) now.
To wit: 2 stud RBs, enough skilled WRs to fill 2 WR rooms, OL improvements. The Diggs boys. Leaders everywhere. Jakhari will not be a deer in the headlights if McCord goes down. The team will pull together.
The pieces are there, catalyzed by a hungry, young staff that has been waiting to get the keys to a real program since they were playing kick the can in Camden (corny Boomer reference).
Yeah, sheet can still happen, but we're miles ahead of late last year's tacit defeatist attitude - games you knew they couldn't win or even keep up in. How do you have one injury-hampered and gutsy QB as your only hope for salvation?
We are so fortunate JW considered this young coach from NJ who reached out to him. It's a tribute to JW that he moved out of his white collar, comfort zone and saw both the fire and calculated assurance in this street wise man of inestimable depth and magnetism.
We are soon to be part of "the national conversation" that Dr. Gross ballyhooed with such pomposity. Now it's actually happening.
OK. It's off season and I'm finished drinking the Kool-Aid of my own recipe. My thirst is slaked, so now I'm putting my Orange colored glasses back on.
LFGO!
