    Well I hope I am too, and it wouldn't be the first time and damn sure won't be the last.

    McNeese was going to be a win, everybody knows it.

    wasnt though so you cant count it unfortunately. its a 9 win season, les.

    just think if we hadnt lost one of those other 3 we would have had an almost 11 win season.

    Glenn Guilbeau reporting Harris is having sports hernia surgery this week; the injury dates back to the Bama game.

    This is kind of infuriating. They had to have known he was injured and let him go out there and he sucked in those last 4 games. Why not make a change. You can't tell me an injured Harris is better than Jennings or Etling. That's stupid.

    I don't know about Etling but even a dead Harris is better than Jennings. How about McMillian? Kragthorpe?

    Don't think Etling was an option to play due to transfer rules. Jennings is a punch-drunk fighter.

    Also probably wanted to preserve McMillan's red shirt.

    What about this offense suggests an opportunity to go through progressions. Progress to what? Check down to who? Check off to what? This offense isn't typically built like that. Between the dropped passes and accuracy issues, I don't think his issue is knowing where to go with the ball. He usually knew where to go...even throwing it away in most instances. But he became wildly erratic over that tough stretch of scheduling (did the injury play a factor?) and the design of this offense leaves no room for error.

    Ask yourself something...outside of deep passes, how many of the designed routes our guys ran offered opportunities for YAC? It seems like this offense is built around receivers getting to a designated spot, stopping, and catching the ball (hopefully) then being tackled. How many times did we see max protection with one receiver running a route against three defenders? This is as much a schematic problem as it is a QB problem. The scheme sucks more than the QB does. And if you think back to the prolific offense of two years ago...Mett didn't even progress that well. It was throw it to Beckham or Landry and that was pretty much it (granted, those guys were world beaters). Hence his current struggles...
