The Glass is Half Full: Skins' Positives from Week Four

So I was the first person out there bashing the team, but I think last game was pretty damn good; mainly because of our improvement in the 2nd half. A couple good positives;

  1. Playcalling: I was really impressed with Zorn not getting away from the run, like he did last week. The truth is we are not the Colts; can't just throw it around for 300+ yards per game. We need to run, and it would have been really easy to get away from the run going down 10-0 at the half. Props to Zorn to making some adjustments and sticking to the run.
  2. Screen plays: I was complaining to my buds about us not throwing enough screens; it was really effective in the past, and a couple could take some pressure off the line and JC. Zorn answered my prayers, and we had some nice gainers off the screen.
  3. Campbell: Mainly his second half. I expected him to lose confidence and just tank. Instead he came out strong and had some tough runs for critical first downs. He still threw some terrible picks, and he is telegraphing his passes. This needs to change next week. All in all a good turn around from the first half.
  4. Fans: We booed after the first half(which was deserved) but we cheered the team at the end of the game when we needed to. Even though it was close, the Skins played great at the end when it counts. I am glad our fans realized that and gave props where due.
  5. Overall: It was good stuff by both sides of the ball the 2nd half. I am just impressed we didn't give up after a terrible first half. Everyone's job was pretty much on the line. If the Z-man and JC continued to suck the 2nd half, I feel there was a good chance Zorn might have been booted this week. The 2nd half score was 16-3, which is a great score for any half. If we can start out strong this team may have some hope.

I know I have my burgundy and gold shades on, but this was a good win considering how we have lost and performed recently. Yeah the Bucs are a terrible team, but it is tough going 16-3 2nd half after you are down ten. Props to the Skins.
