Thanks, Tom!

Took all of 16 seconds to dissipate the high from the tailgate to the low of a very disappointing performance. Was the increased reliance on blitzing in the second half a function of our complete inability to generate a pass rush or a planned aspect of the Tampa 2? I was under the impression that LBs would drop into coverage to clog the passing lanes and allow the safeties to cover deep and take away the big plays. That's what we saw for most of the Colgate game but last night bringing 6 or 7 really opened up the middle of the field, left our overmatched DBs on islands and really made our weaknesses on defense visible leading to big play after big play. Slayton seems like the only player who can generate any kind of outside pressure and the Hodge / Thomas move to D-line on passing downs is not the answer.

My Crew had a tremendous time planning and executing the tailgate. Have to send a hat tip to my co-grill master [USER=4905]giacofan[/USER], his wife Bernadette (for the mac and cheese), Mrs. C (for the peppers and cheesecakes), youngblood [USER=4311]CuseHazard[/USER] (for the incredible pulled pork) and fill in non-board members (yet) Jay who ran the 50/50 with his friend Kristin (who also supplied the taco dip and Rich who gave Jocko and I quick breaks so we could partake.

Invited a long time friend of mine from high school days to join us yesterday. He picked up a business card and said "Hey! You're those guys!" Turns out he's a long term lurker ([USER=461]44Jack[/USER]) and despite a pending move to Virginia quickly committed to joining us again next week.
