There are a few things I think I know after yesterdays game:
1. it was the first game and the season is crazy long and tough
2.i know that first quarter was an indication of what a tremendous team this could be if it maintains focus and hits on all cylinders. The Jax fans were booing Leftwich for crying out loud! The d was dominant and the offense appeared to have a ton of weapons.
3.I know that after that first quarter something happened--triggered by Bledsoe perhaps missing Owens wide open down the middle??
I know that after that the cowboys did not look much different from last year--kicking issues; a QB who looked like a rookie--nervous, indecisive and prone to terrible decisions--which is Bledsoe's career in a nutshell. Compare him to how Brad Johnson looks in a hostile evironment tonight so far.
4. I think I know we arent going to the Super Bowl with this O-line and QB play. The O-line has been neglected and mismanaged from a talent standpoint so far, I think you will all agree. Perhaps this is the last piece in the puzzle to create a perennial powerhouse and will be fixed this off season
I know I am tired of stop gap players like Colombo, Rivera and Kosier
5.I know I am extremely tired of Flozell the Hotel. Frankly he is the equivalent to paying $200.00 bucks for a room and getting Motel 6 decor. I am sick of his propensity for making mistakes at the most critical junctures. I hold my breath everytime Bledsoe drops to pass with my eyes fixed on the left side of the line screaming LOOK OUT Drew!!!
Perhaps he is the best Right tackle we have on the team
6. I know this defense does not have that take charge leader who will grab the D by the you know whats and say "this stops now!" Look at the other teams in our division--Eagles have Trotterand Dawkins, Giants have Strahan. When a big play is needed these guys make a play. Our defense starts to let the opponents get on a roll and all of a sudden every 3rd down is getting converted and the attitude is gone and the offense is exerting its will on our D
7. I know football is a game of exerting your will--on d or offense. There is a point in the game where an important first down is needed or a sack or stop is necessary to break the other teams will. We dont do that
8.I know I am sick and tired of gaining 8 yards on first down and then blasting into the middle for minus 1 and looking at 3rd and 3 or 4!!!!
