Cover, you never fail to disappoint. I thought our guys came out to play and play with a purpose. From that game it tells me that the players care and they were more about team than just going through the motions. Three things I thought stood out to me. One just mentioning the team and how they played. The other two....Shannon and Nussy.
Mac go ahead and make him the DC. I really like what he did with the D. We've all been screaming play to your strength and what will make you successful. RS did that. Loading the box and backing off the corners really helps the depleted LB corp. He let our strength be our strength. I feel we would have seen the same ole same old with side hat. Also they came out with fire in the second half. Perhaps Shannon had done all he could with Side Hat there but we saw a difference yesterday. With what we lose and what we have coming back, there may be a slight drop off but I expect our D to still be pretty good next season.
Nussy, yes Nussy. I kinda got the feeling he was coaching for his job yesterday. Don't get me wrong I still think he's an idiot and he had MUCH to prove. The one thing I liked was after the first two INT's I felt that he would phone it in and leave it on the D. But there were some flashes of aggressiveness and I felt he hung with the run game more than usual. I know we need a QB, but Nuss needs to learn from this. We are all very critical of him and rightfully so. He has a long way to go, period. It's just one game but the offense deserved some kudos for not leaving the D out on an island by themselves. Now Nuss get your azz recruiting, quit being stupid, and get the job done.
At least we have a positive note to go out and start the new year. I'll take it. But not totally sold. The jury is still in deliberation. I am planning to make the trip to Big D to see the Meatchicken game, we'll pretty much know then IMO.
