It’s tiring, isn’t it?

Basketball … it’s two games, but things look the same. Two games, but feels like an extension of last year and the year before. The offense is a whole lot of dribbling, a whole lot of a system creating no looks, a bland offense with poor movement, few screens of value, we have one really good player.

There’s not a lot of oomph on the team. No go to options besides Dedan. Urgency, aggressiveness seems lax. Again. Good news is we will soon be 5-1 because the home games are against the sisters of the poor. But then the road.

Football, yeah, we are 7-2, that’s awesome at face value. The offense has potential, can strike big and quickly, but overall, it’s oddly inconsistent, doesn’t sustain anything, little fluidity. Overall the run game was really good, almost 300 yards vs Hawaii who does well against the run. Almost 500 yards of total offense.

ST helped win the game (blocked punt/safety), almost lost the game (2 short field goals).

Hajj looked afraid to throw last night. Seemed like he was thinking run even before he dropped back.

We are what we are offensively. Underachieving but with high potential and that’s because the red zone. We have a better shot at scoring a TD from the 50 than the 8. They aren’t going to figure it out, we will continue to struggle there. For all our points this year, a larger than normal percentage have been set up by turnovers and special teams. There has been very little cohesion, smoothness in the offense. It’s jagged and torn with some big plays mixed in.

I don’t know if this team has peaked. Maybe I’m being hypercritical because of heightened expectations. But man, I just don’t like the flow of the offense. And it’s been most of the season, doesn’t seem like a one off.
