The Lions' Pride

midseason report card, awesome....thanks jeff
oh yea and first!

Agree...although early red zone struggles would maybe lower some of the scores for me across the board. The last 4 games have been outstanding though. Overall, very fair and frankly a nice change. Be interesting to see how our offense does with the climate and winter conditions approaching. MM hasn't shown he can be real accurate in windy conditions. The short passing game may help and certainly the improved running game will excel.

Good stuff. Agree with all of it for the most part. Everyone seems to be doing ok, but all have room to improve still.

You guys are no fun. C'mon, someone argue with me!

I'll admit, the offense has exceeded my expectations for this year so far. I honestly didn't think there was much BOB and company could do to help McGloin this year but it's crazy to see how much MM has progressed and evolved in such a short amount of time. It all starts with him and our OL and both are playing extremely well halfway through the season. It's pretty scary thinking about how much MM improved and what that possibly means for our QB's that are in the system for 4 years like a Bench, Hack and anybody else who comes on board. McWhorter as our OL coach is already paying dividends and of course some of that credit goes towards Fitz and his S&C staff too.

And those random 20-yard sacks where McGloin keeps running around without throwing the ball away...

WR's overall should be lower. Lots of drops and besides A Rob, no one is scaring anyone...

I would also grade the o line a little higher. Its shame sacks count against rushing yards in college vs passing yards in pros. I am real happy with the pass blocking and think the sacks from MM holding the ball too long or having a lack of mobility coupled with all the sneaks really bring down the 3.5 yrds per carry average
