Use 7220 to our advantage too, sooooo frustrating
Because that worked sooo well against Hawaii under DC a few years back, right?
Seriously, as bad as this loss was, there was progress. And I saw a Defense moving forward. The TO's were much needed for those guys in the backfield. We contained AFA very well until I saw Wacha go out with a concussion. He was containing the middle well, when he went out that was when AFA started busting big gains up the middle with Davern.
Running was strong. Maulhardt played well, other than his tipped ball int. Gentry played well, but you could tell he is still suffering with his ribs. Bailey makes a 41 yarder! Hill had a bad game. It happens. Sometimes your best guy has one of these. I do not blame Coffman for those INTs. Those passes were right where they needed to be. Hill slapping the ball with one hand was pretty lame. It didn't even look like he was trying to catch it, just knock it away... right into the defenders hands. How many handoffs does Hill take? 20-30 a game. Probably that or more at practice, spring ball, fall ball. What are the odds of him bobbling a handoff??? Baffling! And on a scoring drive too! Other than that, I would say Coffman needs needs to really learn to take the lead. His confidence hangs on by a thread. And when one thing bad happens then it becomes a domino effect.
It's sucks to lose, but these guys are getting better.
