So Saturday was the essence of Tommy West football. I am glad we are running our team with with all the offensive efficiencies of 1996. Does anyone else think that Rodriquez may have been the magic behind the offense? I think the mathmagicians in any stat room will tell you that. They will also tell you that Charlie needs to either get out of the wieght room and get his touch back, or quit getting juiced up before games. Our receivers don't have Manbute Bol height and the safeties don't have to do anything special to keep the play 15 yards ahead of them and wait for the ball to come sailing their way. While I have this sopa box out and stand firmly on top of it: What ever happened to the slant and/or drag routes? Anyone remember West ball when we would run him 5 yards across the middle on 3rd and 7. Not that it was a good call in those days, cause the man is lucky to still have a head, but throwing those short quick routes tend to freeze linebackers for that extra second it takes to drop back and make pass. 2 seconds in the pocket without scrambling won't exactly cut it when all the receivers are running 15-25 yard routes. If you want to see what I am talking about, catch some UT clips with receivers like Peerless Price from the mid '90's. It amazing what someone with speed (Currie, Stucky) can do when they catch the ball at full speed out of the slot, running perpendicular to the safety and behind the linebackers. I have seen more 10 yard first downs and 65 yard busted coverage TD's out of this play then any of this drop it in a bucket on the sideline for 45 yard crap. I could set up a Greek Bowl defense to stop what we have been bringing at teams.

Why are we forced to work on Friday's? I mena really, we come in, pray the boss is either off, or leaving early. Any man between the ages of 22 and 60 is probably spending half his time on ESPN.com. There is no point. We should all just meet for lunch about 12:30 at the local BBQ join, go ahead with the Monday meeting then. Knock back a cold one since no one is going back to the office and call it a week. Wouldn't this also allow us to be productive on Monday's when everyone else is in meetings and the phones aren't ringing? Ok, I better get back to making my college football picks, I mean work.
