Even the O-line is on Bajakian in addition to Mahoney. He makes the decision on who plays as well as the play calls. It was clear Gilliam's knee would not let him get it done. Kerby is on the wrong side. The line improved a couple games back when Kendrick went to LT and Kerby to RT, but Butch and Jake would not keep it that way. They have something against Kendrick playing. If I was him I would transfer. Thomas should have been prepared Day 1 to be the C that he is. He would have stepped right in when Crowder went down. Then Wiesman would have been available for both G positions, which is what he is. Add in the lack of vertical play calling that everybody knows about, etc. - you see what happened.
The roster is better than last season. The staff is a little better than last season. There will be an even better roster next season. Will the staff improve as much as the roster is the question.
