It's about sending a message and not placing blame. The entire team and staff need to be kicked in the nuts. Our OL were getting shoved aside by Son Belt quality DL. Our DEs were thwarted by Son Belt OTs. Our WRs couldn't get open against Son Belt DBs. Our DBs couldn't cover the same play again and again in the endzone. Our STs couldn't lay a hand on a Son Belt kick returner or keep FGs from being blocked.
At some point, the players need to hold themselves accountable if the coaching staff won't do it. Fair? Probably not since they're young and need guidance. But it's a veteran team who shouldn't need motivation enough to focus and make easy catches or avoid costly penalties. ***** the staff in their stupid asses but somebody needs to toughen these kids up and some tough love is in order instead of constant coddling.
