Slight concern here. Doctah to your point they still put up 12 against a very good D unit and AA goalkeeper, and left 3-4 goals easy on the table. I'd like to see more consistency, obviously less turnovers, and a good counter to teams that double pole the midfield. Mule has faired pretty well IMO there, but Hiltz looked very uncomfortable in that role on Saturday. Think last year(?) the same thing happened when he got the short stick matchup, overaggressive and ended up with a bunch of turnovers and bad shots.

I'm not super concerned with Joey, unless there is a lingering injury that might be more serious than we are aware of. The lacrosse media world has overhyped him especially with the numbers he put up against the softer side of the schedule, but the reality is he is not going to be able to win individual matchups against #1 defenders for elite teams that are bigger, faster, stronger. We shouldn't expect that, and given his lax IQ I think he can still be an effective component of the offense in those games. Still think there are opportunities out there for the offense to help him get a bit more space to operate and get some looks against matchups.

Great opportunity to get right against a lesser defense on paper.
