  • Is Curtis Samuel an H-Back or a WR? I think I heard that in fall camp he was working exclusively with Zach Smith's unit.
  • Are Ed Warriner and Tim Beck on the same page? It sure doesn't seem that way given that offensive line play, quarterback play, and offensive play-calling have been three of our four biggest inconsistencies so far this season. Also, we've committed most of our (frequent) penalties when we have the ball (IIRC).
  • We need more players in #zone 6 to make big catches, big plays. It cannot just be Mike Thomas. In our most crisply played game this season, we got big receiving plays from at least three different players.
  • Part of me thinks the offensive non-production/miscommunication could be a season long problem that will cost us a chance to make the playoffs and another part of me thinks that a lot of great teams have struggled mightily for a period of a season in particular phases and the other units have somehow been able to pick up the slack or even carry the team.
  • Ezekiel Elliott is still a tremendous running back despite our offensive performances the last two games.
  • I love this defense! Still I wonder if, towards the end of the season, Schutt will be the starting DT opposite Adolphus Washington.
