What Are This Team's Weaknesses?

[Joelist]

So on to the topic at hand....weaknesses.

Well, one for sure is game day coaching and scheming. We do not always seem to scheme properly to get the best out of our players. Lou especially is guilty of this but you also saw it in some of the offensive play designs.

Another possible weakness is ability to create turnovers. Yes we improved our secondary abilities in zone scheme coverage and also tackling and rushing the passer. But the only true ball hawk back there is Bates. So I think we may see more passes broken up and such but not a lot of INTs. In the same vein our DTs and LBs seem sound but are not notable as turnover forcers.

Finally of course, there is the potential of a rocky start as the new pieces all need play time to fit together properly. Hopefully we can manage at least .500 while they are adjusting then go on a tear.
