Message: [QUOTE="CA Monk, post: 2672822, member: 5268"] Yeah and yeah. My hope is the coaches have the long term wisdom and momentary fortitude to make the personnel changes now and get the best players on the field to help us win: more Trill, less Bradshaw, Cordy. More freshman receivers and less Butler. Bradshaw did make some excellent plays pass defending near the goal line early on, but is prone to the long ball. Trill did shut Eskridge down. He's gotta play now. Cordy (in my uneducated view) seems to run around purposelessly too much. We know he's a leader and his stout backstory, but his effectiveness in pass coverage is questionable. I know there are team political pressures to keep the upperclassmen in their roles, but when they're ineffective, then swap'em out for our hungry and talented freshman and Rfr class. I'm at a loss to explain our lack of pass rush with Slayton and Robinson up front. It seemed like they were rushing 3 sometimes w/a spy tracking the QB. How about a blitz once in a while. But what do I know? I'm just a fan who longs for a competitive winning season and a bowl game against a marquee opponent. If we had a defense (which we may, it's still early) to complement our offense, imagine the possibilities. C'mon Ward, get these guys motivated, directed and synchronous. The main thing is we won. We won, we won, we won. Making strategic adjustments in the wake of a victory is a whole lot easier than making a few token moves after a dispiriting loss. FSU has tape and will see all our O strengths and D lapses. If we can recognze how they'll attack us, we can adjust now and be ready without having to tip our hand against Wagner. That's the hope anyway. We've got to get the most effective personnel on the field despite offending some of the program guys. [/QUOTE]
