Things To Do Before Next Football Season
1. Put Kareem Hunt on a plane and send him to the best sports medicine doctor in the nation. Right now, he's the most important player we have, and we need to do everything to avoid a David Fluellen repeat. He was limping late in the bowl game.

2. Find a punter. Our 36.6 punt average was at the bottom of the MAC, and really hurt our field position. I was surprised we didn't try to sign a scholarship punter.

3. Design more plays for tight ends. Going into the bowl game, we were averaging about one catch per game from the TE's. Considering the advantage tight ends have over defenders (mostly linebackers and safeties), it's crazy not to use them. It was good to see some changes in the bowl game to involve the tight end more.

4. Get the signals straight. We still struggle with silly penalties and the use of timeouts related to coaching staff/player confusion. Heading into Campbell's fifth season, it's about time that this problem gets solved.

5. Develop more depth at wide receiver.

6. Use the brainpower of everyone on the coaching staff to develop a respectable pass defense. 03-banghead

Defense is being fixed. WR lost Olack and Macon. Lots of guys from last years recruiting class are in the hunt. QB, Punter, and kicker positions are in battles for starting roles. A fun Spring and Summer is ahead.

7. Target Alonzo Russell more than twice a game. Entirely too quiet junior campaign. Seems like in some games it was the 4th quarter and he didn't have a catch or he would have two and one was a TD. He is our Megatron.

Given our uncertainty in the kicking game heading into this season, improving our red zone offense is imperative. Utilizing our TEs more would help with that too.

Getting drunk and staying drunk can last a long time. Unless you're a yogi, Sting or Trudi Steyer sex doesn't. So two times drunk could tide you over. BTW, who is Bill Cluckton and why did you have sex with him?

I cannot believe that we do not throw to Russel more often. I think it's a big mistake.

It's going to be hard to double up on Russell with Landry on the field at the same time.

Anybody who can complete a pass downfield can beat us, especially over the middle. Has been that way for too many years.

Russell. Tons of potential, but consistency needs to improve.

We have a great punter sitting the bench. I would have used Julian more last year to punt. He also gives us a great weapon on fakes. Put him there and let him get some playing time.
