As we have come into the bye week, I figured Id get a discussion going on the team as we hit the halfway point next weekend.
Looking just at the results, most outside of the "Liberty bubble" would (and probably do) think that this team stinks. If you look inside the numbers (especially those of us that have been to games), the team is better than the record indicates. Now I wont go so far as some have and say we are "the best 0-4 team in the country", but in each game you can point to 1-3 plays that if they went the other way, maybe change the game outcome.
Both Hudson and Woodrum have shown well, but after going with Hudson at the beginning, I really think Woodrum should be the guy going forward. He has made some mistakes (Remember, until this year he hadn't played a competitive down of football in about 2 years), but he has shown that he could become a very special player even now.
Both of our running backs (AA and SCH) have shown flashes, and this past Saturday was the biggest of them all. Neither is a Rashad Jennings, but both have done very well. Abnar has shown that he could be a special back in the next couple years as well in the little he has been in.
PK...well he is PK. He has made some very tough catches and though he hasnt had a huge TD like he has the last few years, he is doing quite well as a #1.
I'll add more thoughts later on about the line and the defense but thought Id get things started.
A couple ground rules (which I put in more for my own benefit than anything):
1) Keep it to the football team. No talk of ADs, former football coaches basketball coaches, baseball coaches, politics or anything that isnt related to the football team and the current season.
2) Keep it civil. If you have a problem with the team, that's fine, but dont sound like you are one move away from jumping off a cliff because you lost all reason for living or something
