After 8 games, other than quarterback....

My impression of Loston is that he's on the field a lot, but he doesn't make many plays. Now to be fair, people don't try to throw the ball deep on us that often, and maybe that's because CL is getting into good position early and QB's aren't testing him. That's something that doesn't show up on the TV screen.

I'm not as down on the o-line as some of you. We've run the ball well for the most part, and in pass blocking, well, I think an indecisive, slow-through-his-progressions quarterback will make a line appear worse than it really is.

Overall, the thing that disappoints me about the team is the penalties, many of which seem to come from lack of discipline. This has been a problem ever since CLM got here. For the first couple of years, we executed well enough play after play to overcome them. Now (and we're back to poor QB play, I guess), too many drives get killed by one penalty.
