  1. 1. What is the MAJOR factor in why we have been doing better in the last few weeks from the first few and from last year

    • Willis McGahee. Nuff said. He runs tougher, the defenses cannot blitz Bledsoe, he pass blocks better, he's a bigger threat.
      39
    • The offensive line. Pure and simple. Rueben is gone. Tucker and Villarial have come on. Big Mike is better. They are starting to gel. McNally's schemes have begun to sink in and the OL is drinking the kool-aid.

    • Drew. The new Drew is playing better and not making mistakes. The coaches have reeled him in. He is avoiding the rush. He's getting better blocking and he's getting the ball off quicker. He's not turning the ball over and he's getting the ball in the endzone from the redzone.

    • The coaches and coaching. No doubt. Killdrive is gone. Mularkey, TC and Wyche have reigned in Bledsoe, committed to the power run and McNally is working his magic. Not to mention addition by subtraction of the garbage we had before.

    • Moulds not being hurt. Lee Evans replacing Josh Reed put speed and big play ability back into the line-up. With Moulds back, teams can't load the box and blitz Bledsoe like mad and force him into bonehead plays. Campbell and Euhus are getting open up the middle. Willis and Shelton are catching the ball from the backfield.

    • None of them. This team still stinks.

    • All of them pretty equally. One maybe a little more than the other, say, Willis more than the WRs, but they all have played a significant role and without all of these changes we would still suck.

It's also called 75% of your drives starting on the opponent's front door step thanks to the D, not the O that put you there. 

 

I mean how on earth do you credit the O for a drive which started at the 24 and kicked a FG? 

 

Or a TD with the ball placed at the other team's 11, 19, 21, or 30? 

 

What if the D doesn't put you there?  Then what?  The same team that can't score from it's own end of the field does what?

Because they took advantage of the opportunities presented to them. Just like good teams are supposed to do. For the last 2 seasons there has been incessant whining on this board about us beating ourselves. Now we're whining because we're winning because we're finally not doing that? You related to Ice?

 

It's no surprise that the offense started playing with confidence when the defense FINALLY started getting some turnovers. That's why those stats are always highlighted.

 

With the exception of the Colts, few teams regularly drive the field and score TDs. The Patriots are a great example. When they beat Miami earlier this year, they didn't have a TD drive over 49 yards and Brady had less than 80 yards passing for the game.

The MAJOR factor is Willis, he's making everyone else better.

If TH was still starting, we may be 1-7.
