Very very happy with this team’s progression so far. We couldn’t have asked for better coordinators. The turn around has been incredible, given the COVID circumstances and lack of hands on learning.
Feleipe looks like a dude and is coming out of his shell. Not sure if it was more him or just him getting comfortable with the offense. Again, COVID made it hard for us/any team to learn a new scheme. Trelon Smith is a breath of fresh air. Small little back that can wiggle. We’ve been missing one of those guys for a long time. WRs continue to step up and play well, regardless of who is hot or not, and/or injured. Going to be nice having Trey Bob back. OLine has to stay disciplined. No doubt they’re not very good, but if they stay home and do their job, they’re going to do enough for us to get by on offense. Briles seems to be more comfortable than before. His hurry up is nice and methodical. Reads are coming along. He’s adjusting on the fly.
Odom has done an outstanding job. You can tell the guys really want to please him and are happy to play for him. Pads are popping. Swarm tackling. Lots of stuff we’ve been missing. Still need to work on tackling but I’ll blame it on the rain. The D is there, as long as we keep everyone healthy, I think we got 2-3 more wins in us.
Fountain, fire that guy. Special teams have been a mess. But, that is one of the easiest things to fix. Get in the film room, find your Swiss cheese holes, and throw some flex seal tape on it.
Overall, pretty happy with where we stand and a lot further along that I thought we’d be at this point. It’s a weird year nonetheless a year where we can make solid strides regardless of our record. 2-8 with losses like this one and any other close loss where we are a play or two away from clicking, is just as good as a win IMO. The good thing is, we are VERY young as far as our depth goes. Guys getting lots of reps that will be here another 2-3 years. Future is bright. Just gotta keep trucking.
