Second straight week we played sloppy and looked unprepared and lacked focus. There were penalties on at least 4 consecutive punt returns which backed us up into a hole. And offensively we continue having too many unforced mistakes and penalties.
As for Dak and the offense, I think defenses have started to catch on and adjust. Also not sure if Dak is starting to hit a wall. In college you play 11-12 regular season games. We're now at 13. Not to mention this is the time of year playoff teams start upping their intensity.
I saw a stat where we are only 18.7% on 3rd downs in the last 3 games. We need to be more focused and get back to what was working for us. And if teams are stacking the line to stop Zeke then we should be able to exploit that in the passing game. We have enough weapons to put us in manageable short 3rd down opportunities. And Dez has also been disappointing. He considers himself elite, but disappears too often with too many drops.
With this OL and our weapons there's no reason we should only be scoring 7 points. Even last week we only had 17 and would've been 10 if not for the gifted muffed punt inside the 10 in the 4th quarter.
Hopefully this will be a wakeup call. I just don't have the faith in our coaching staff to make the necessary adjustments. But at the least we need to be more focused and play with more sense of urgency and stop making the stupid unforced mistakes.
