Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1417941, member: 2585"] I really think this is a major blind spot in your evaluation of the coaches. Generally speaking I think they plan on getting better on offense and getting better on defense. No one is planning on sucking on either side of the ball. That's what I meant about getting too far into the weeds. I don't think this concept of "our defense will be worse, so we'll need to score more" is something you plan on have happening. It's a week-of game plan or in-game adjustment. I don't think Shafer will ever be able to appease your particular brand of "putting offense 1st"... He will never be Leach. But I'll say it again - we've never had a Shafer led team that the offense is worthy of that kind of trust. At the same time we've had very good defenses that he leans on. White-knuckling is the default with that mix. If our offense starts putting 30 pts on the board easily I think we'll see him think like the former QB he is. [/QUOTE]
