I agree with you, in part. I think this year will be different. (Like every year of course
Last year a lot of the penalties we incurred were primarily on the offense or the o-line. Things like motion, false starts, holding, delay of game - particularly Derrick Dockery. This unit has come a long way in terms of being more disciplined and focused. Dockery hasn't been flagged once during the preseason, granted he hasn't played an entire game yet this season. But my point is I think we have eliminated a lot of the mental errors just from the o-line alone which could translate into 2 or 3 victories in close games.
Remember, this team lost several close games last year and could have easily been 9-7 or 10-6.
