In an effort to keep my expectations in check, I thought it might be good to look at some of the not so good stuff from Saturday.
1. Penalties- I realize we had very few, but once again they came at inopportune times. A couple caused red zone stalls.
2. Kick coverage- Other than 1 return for TD, there were a couple of poor angles taken.
3. Red zone- Although we did convert 6 of 6 red zone opportunities, 3 of those were FGs. We must have a higher percentage of TDs. If I remember correctly, a couple were stalled by penalties.
Understand, I am being very nitpicky here. Most of these can and will be corrected with practice and experience for the younger players. The only thing that I am really concerned about is red zone efficiency. And, I am willing to bet that it will continue to improve.
Just some food for thought on a stormy Monday. Thoughts and prayers to those that are in LA.
