I've bashed our friend, and fellow forum member, Ade Jimoh hard, and often, but in the washpost article he speaks words to live by:
"Ade Jimoh, a trusted special teams player, said he could not single out a particular nuance the team needed to prioritize. There were flaws -- sometimes major -- on all fronts.
"Everything is on the top of the pecking order," Jimoh said. "If we get penalties it kills your field position. If we don't cover well, then we're giving up field position, and if we don't return well, then there's no way we're going to get field position, and then you put the offense in a hole. They all have to work together as a whole. We can't focus on one thing, and let another area slack, because then you still have problems. We have to focus on all three areas at the same time."
Almost makes you think: "By God, I think he's got it!"
