One of the things that I haven't seen mentioned that I thought was HUGE.... Was for the very first time... I actually, legitimately get the sense that this is HIS team. He has become a leader. They showed him on the sidelines one time, and he went over to every offensive lineman and was talking and pepping them up. That's something I have NEVER seen out of Jeff. Ever. Every time I've seen him on the sidelines he's always by himself drinking a cup of water, looking somewhat confused.
I really get the sense that he is comfortable and confident. Its just one game. But from what I saw, for the first time, I actually believe that when the chips are down, and we need a drive in Tuscaloosa, the guys can look in his eyes and find a leader that will get them where they need to go. Time will tell. But I am optimistic.
