Looked like Jed Fisch football; enough to beat the bad teams but not enough to beat anyone else.

What fans are saying

Fan claims · every quote verified verbatim

scheme identityOne fan's take

One fan thinks the offensive scheme is not maximizing talent effectively

This team reminds me of 2019. Great defense, but offense can’t do anything even though they got the talent.

One fan believes Demond has not met his potential on the field

Demond did not live up to the offseason hype.

position battleOne fan's take that season

One fan argues multiple players are competing for the same position

Christian Moss, Chris Lawson, Dezmen Roebuck, Jordan Clay, Trez Davis, Rashid Williams and Mason James will all have opportunities to earn or cement first-team snaps at wide receiver.

player performanceOne fan's take that season

One fan thinks the defense gets exposed by high-powered offenses

Need a TD on this drive or this game is over. They can just run it for four yards on every play or pick on Dylan Robinson if they ever need a bigger gain.
