Vinny, David showed he could drive the ball today in two key situations. The Team showed that the pass offense is what this team has to do to be effective. I'm not saying don't run the ball, but rather that are running becomes effective when we establish our passing game. The passing game has to be established for us to effectively run the ball. We found a new running back who seemed to fill a void. JJ was just as effective as D. Hall. Our kicking game proved to be better in the final anlaysis. And, just as important as anything after the Coleman return, the defense began to play ball. Capers seems to like the two point conversion and that even went well. The only way to describe this win is as a TEAM WIN. Really every aspect of the ball club contributed to this win.
However, I hope Capers and company don't try to use this as vindication of what they do, because it is not. This game was won by being effective with the pass to our receivers, Gaffny, AJ, and Armstrong. The people on this board have been clamoring for them to receive the ball and wondering why it was not happening. Fans wanted us to strech the field. We have been yelling about blitzing to get pressure on the QB and that didn't happen until the end of the game. I think if you look at what the fan base on this web site has been saying, you could almost say it was a victory for us and our beliefs. DD was effectively benched and a new back steped forward. Surprise, surprise even though people had said he looked a lot better this spring. It was almost like Coleman lite a defensive fuse. Why has this team been so timid? Why have they felt they can't win? That is certainly the way they looked and acted to me.
The Danger is after this win the coaching staff will go back into their turtle shell and try to play to not loose. Today we played to win at the end and we did. Congratulations to the TEAM.
Once again, THIS WAS A TEAM WIN PURE AND SIMPLE.
There are so many points to be made, but I don't feel at ease expressing every thing I feel. May be some of you will be more articulate in your responses, but we have a jumping off point and I hope this ball club now can begin to develop into what it can be. This may be looked back to as the turning point in defining what this ball club can and is capable of doing.
