We need Papi and Dorian back and Cope. I love what I see from Irons and Belack as young guys but options are needed.
I think Irons has regressed. Perhaps due to injury? But he has less yards and 3 fewer TDs in more attempts than he had last year.
Due to injury...
Solich on winning with less than 200 yards of total offense:
“You don’t win very many games that way. They were to a point where they ended up using their second team quarterback, who really was their third team because their second team ended up getting hurt in practice. That made things a little more difficult for them. Our running back situation was not ideal going in to this game. Maleek played, but he was not at full speed. He didn’t have much practice for the last two weeks, he probably wasn’t in good shape, but he played. As he plays though, he will continue to get back in to his old self. Bo gives you a lot, but he is still only two weeks in to running our offense, so that hurt us a little. There were other things that didn’t look as good as I hoped we’d look at this point in time in the season. We have been making progress on both sides of the ball game by game, but we stalemated ourselves on the offensive side.”
