If this team showed up from game 1 we would be a 1 or 2 loss team at worse. The 85 man roster rotation I think killed us, especially on OL and Safety. DJ is better for this offense than Mertz. Those big explosive plays are points.
For the first time in quite a while, I am optimistic for the extended future. Maybe not the rest of the season because of our schedule but next year look out. These guys are Ballers.
The players are still fighting, it's very inspiring. Billy is still making a case (for being an average coach) I'm excited for Lagway's potential. No fancy hairstyles, no wannabee tough-guy tatoos, kid seems to be all business. I hope he continues to be comfortable and improves.
As far as the play calling goes I think it was a mixed bag, very predictable on first down but some new wrinkles that were very effective. I think more than the play calling it was Lagway, Baugh, Dike, Badger, ect that made it happen on offense and the defense was like a completely different team.
