Our defense and our kids deserved it. Did Les deserve it? no.

Wait, Les didn't jump offsides, or fumble the ball, or throw the ints, or drop a defensive int. They are a team and everyone had a role in what occurred yesterday just like the week before (see turnovers).

You can get the best professional at each position to come in and teach these guys but if they don't work on the nuances of their position outside of practice (ie blocking, route running, pass catching, hitting the right holes, tackling form, pursuit angles), they'll only be as good as 8 hours a week will allow. It's the time you put in beyond the practice schedule which will take you from being good to great at something. And that is a personal decision.

That being said, Crowton's playcalling style does not mesh well with smash mouth football simply because it does not include play-action or bootlegs or misdirection plays. It's not deceiving like some of what we saw during the 2007 season.
