Okay, I WILL:
Kyle Trask and our offense is “ALREADY THERE”!
Never mind what the (apparently blind or determinedly stubborn) “other half” among the “media experts” are STILL saying (some of them don’t even MENTION Trask today: They are still comparing just TWO GUYS on THEIR oh-by-the-way-favorite-TEAMS in their view vying for “one and two in the Heismann race”); Meanwhile OUR incomparable QB-1 is steadily putting together a Classic Heismann run, as he leads what has already grown into an OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT and gets better game-by-game!
No, the ONLY question remains on DEFENSE—and THAT continues to be “a work in progress”.
They ARE getting better—but not always and not yet enough. Oh, by the other night I saw us starting to “reach down and pull out enough to do what needed doing WHEN IT NEEDED TO BE DONE”, but though that was enough to bury a dangerous Arkansas, we’ll have AT LEAST the likes of Bama and probably Clemsen to control and stymie if we are to get to and WIN a Natty THIS season.
So. This is where it “gets simple”, at least to “theoretically forecast”:
We MUST continue to grow WELL PAST just being able to MAYBE rise up and stop them if/when we absolutely NEED to...No, we must, at SOME point, begin to anticipate and control opponent’s offenses BEFORE getting into a “shoot out”with them. Because THEY will be trying to do EXACTLY the same thing to us—and MAY already currently already HAVE THE players, plans and momentum to get that done! Oh, those squads have shown THEIR “cracks”, “flaws” and weaknesses too, but I certainly haven’t seen enough from OUR defense yet to feel much confidence in OUR ability to exert such “protection and control”!
If we wanna take that next step—not just “GET there” but to WIN IT ALL if and when we DO, then we’ll HAVE to spend the balance of our scheduled games not just winning but further fully developing what will have to become an evolving, more competent and reliable DEFENSE too—If not match our offense, then at least “hold its own” when out there.
“What does that MEAN?”
Well, I can only say at this point, “Hey—I’ll know it when I see it...and we’ve hardly ‘seen it’ yet, let’s face it!”
Y’all may have your own ways of seeing and/or describing the situation—but you do know what I MEAN, I’m sure...
