Brian Haines deserves to be fired over his RB development alone.
It does make me wonder if Ponce will be back. App’s offense was predicated on the run, and if you’re down 17-0 in the first quarter of every game, you kind of can’t run 35 times.
Ponce and Joey were not the issue here. They were forced to press to constantly make up for deficits, and I will die on that hill.
I will spell this out again:
Yes, our defense was bad (especially the first half of the year in giving up early scores). But, our offense never responded and rarely executed coming out of the locker room. And, often quickly handing the ball back over to the opposing offense. We played the wrong type of complimentary football.

Then, after going to the locker room and making adjustments:

That hill is about as slippery as Miller Hill in a November snow storm.
