Message: [QUOTE="Culhwch, post: 3026623, member: 1983"] Man, that was a killer. But it happens again and again. If it's not a dumb offload, it's getting pushed into touch, or kicks on the third, or short hospital passes that have no chance of being caught. Or just wasting tackles running back and forth across the field because there's no structure, or no one willing to straighten up. This team just has no concept of building pressure, but it's been the same for years. When they get the ball inside the twenty it's like they freak out and think they need to score on every play, because they might not get another chance. The way they get bogged down coming out of their own end sometimes, maybe that's not a surprising outlook. The attitude and conviction is just not there, and honestly hasn't been for years. Not since Hodges retired, in my opinion. That's why the team has been consistently inconsistent for the last few seasons. Bennett could get them up for the occasional big game, and they lucked out in (or occasionally toughed out) enough of the remainder where they didn't really show up to coast into the finals, where they were never a threat. The team needs to be torn down and rebuilt, and that's something that's been coming for awhile. There have to be serious questions being asked, and just because Seibold is publicly saying there's improvement or he's happy with the effort or whatever, I doubt he truly believes that. The Nikorima move shows that he is willing to make changes, he's just going to take his time and do it properly, not blow the whole thing up at once. I'm happy to give him time to implement his plan. My biggest concern is that there is no obvious candidate right now for a captain who can lead by example, and make sure they cut down on the dumb stuff on the field. [/QUOTE]
