Team Chemistry...

hard to build chemistry when they lose every week

True. Having a FO that doesn't exactly look like it cares much about this season can make for poor team chemistry too.

Yes, alot of this season looks like people are just there and not super motivated to play for this coach and OC. Do you blame them really when your auditions for positions are going to come in the next training camp with the new head coach? Hell, we dont even have chemistry right now with the Owner, FO, and Head coach.

All we here about his how Fox is a players coach and while this might be the case, You just dont see alot energy out of this team even when they are close in these games.

Its teetering on the verge of a sit back and wait for the bad to happen to us. Look at all the dropped intereceptions. It lingers in the back of your mind as a player knowing you just potentially cost a 14 point swing one way or the other. It hurts and certainly effects your play when you watch it happen all over the field to other people. It just kind of gets you in a place where you are waiting for bad things to happen.

We aren't totally there yet but if we go into the bye week 0-5, I'd say we'd be lucky to win 3 on the otherside. Confidence will be so shot and players know in the back of their minds that the monkey is just waiting to jump on.

Not to mention, it is hard for an offense and defense to have chemistry together, but only 10 times worse when the defensive is out there double the time of possession that the offense is. We ran 3 plays in the second quarter against Cincinnati that something that we can not have period. Through 3 quarters, Cinny had 31 minutes of TOP to our 14 minutes. The defense plays fine for while but ultimately they can not hold up to being out there 37+ minutes a game.

The only thing this team needs right now is an Offensive Line that gets their poo together.

The defense is fine. If we could run the ball, it would take a tremendous pressure off of Clausen and the passing game.

That is all.

funny, smitty made a comment about it today

"You have to have chemistry, but I think chemistry develops as you make plays together," Smith said. "You can't learn anything by just watching. You can't learn how to make a sandwich by watching somebody else make it. When you're actually doing it and see your mistakes, that's how you learn."
