It's all about building rhythm on offense. We tend to be a reactive team early on, waiting to see what the other guy has planned. Sort of probing for potential weakness. Ditto on defense although that seems to be changing a little of late. Being proactive and making them grapple with what we are presenting might be a better approach, less tentative, but you have to have consistent execution to pull that off. And as a unit the offense isn't there yet. All it takes is one bad route, one missed block, one stupid penalty, one dropped ball...and it's back to the drawing board.
It really comes down to consistent focus and execution and intensity on the part of all 11 players.
Especially in the first half..
Sounds fine, but What has changed between the great 2010 offense who was great out of the gate and had troubles in the 4th quarter and the great 2011 offense who can't get out of the gate, but plays very well indeed at the end?
The kid's got a very big head and a big temper, and is one the very best players in the league. If coaching can deal with murderers and wife-beaters, it can deal with Suh. For me, the issue is almost 100% coaching.
With regard to the league, I understand how much folks here hate the commissioner. That is their privilege. Under Rozelle, I suspect this likely would have been a non-incident. Under the current administration, player safety is much, much more important.
I suspect that Suh is looking at a 1-3 game suspension. He is a repeat offender. His/this style of "play" is not acceptable in the current nfl. He shows no remorse for his actions, other than his getting caught and affecting his team.
The league will continue to take stands to try to protect safety, sometimes going too far. A player who thinks this is OK behavior will learn otherwise (coaching should do this) or face a continued flow of flags, ejections and suspensions.
