I like Kiffin a lot but, where is the explosive offence. We start so slow every game and that eats at the fans and has to hurt the players. Kiffin needs to open it up at the start. Good teams get off to a fast start and I havent seen that at all. I wonder about his play calling a lot and he needs to open up our passing game or we will lose the rest of our games. You mark it down and see.

Your right. Bring back Bed and Breakfast and his endless 7 step drops because that worked so well.

You need explosive players to run an explosive offense. What we have at qb right now does not constitute explosive and our O line is certainly not there yet either.

"In that first year, do you see all the progress that you need to make? No you don't. There's always a first-to-second-year change because you learn more about people."

Exactly what I've been saying. Kiff made many changes his first offseason simply based on film. Now he gets to personally see who's really "IN". This will help him much to further separate the wheat from the chaff in this next offseason.

He made some great personnel moves this last offseason. I can't wait to see what he can do next offseason with all of this knowledge he is acquiring. I'm excited and actually wish the season was ending now so we can move forward with the rebuild.

i completely agree... i just hope al davis doesn't fire him.. I mean, i know he trusts kiffin a lot with the team, and has showed a lot of faith in him, but you never know. I am tired of the coach carousel, and the qb carousel. I hope the coach one is done now, adn we keep kiffin. And the qb carousel is done next preseason, when J-Russ is our starting QB.

I think even Al knows that this is a long term project. Kiffen will get the time to turn this around.

You know that Al was probably expecting at least six wins though. I guess it could still happen. Who knows?

sims resigned. Makes the same mistakes,penaties every year. hmmm....I wonder why shell benched his ass. galleria,making top 5 TACKLE salary at guard and can't play that position. turd sands plays well in his contract year,gets resigned and is playing at an all-pro level. More like casper the friendly ghost. How many YEARS has robroyryan had to resolve our run D issue? WHO MAKES ALL THESE ULTIMATE DECISIONS? THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES. Think the players respect al? Would jerrald potty have dared to wear a FU shirt to practice if Howie long was on the field? Are you kidding?

I agree...Kiffen is still evaluating what he's been given and will do what he has to to make us competative. Just as long as it took to regress, its gonna take time to retool and get us going in the right direction once again. Patience is a virtue, and I'm hanging around to see the results.
