I think it misguided to blame the good performance on Jak being out. It all has to do with DDR. DDR is the problem.
Jak would have, IMO, rolled with what was going on last night just fine.
Jak plays stellar defense and that is important.
DDR funks up the team with his "I am the man so i must have the ball" at ude
Patty being out helped too-he is a drag on the defense. Rudy is still a baller and is useful if those other two (DDR and Patty) are not in the picture.
Rudy can still run with the young bucks a bit.
It is so obvious to me and has been that DDR and to a lessor extent Patty are the problem.
Why does Pop and his sniffers fail to see?
Is there some agenda?
Last night to me is proof there should be no going back.
Just wait though
I would rather go down with the young ones battling than the tired old crap that we know wont work
