Player Blog Post - What we should be, and what we are

We are supposed to be 5-0, set to win the league championship outright, overpowering every single team on our schedule, Scoring 50 points a game (except maybe south bend), on pace to have three 1,000 yard rushers, a defense that shuts out nearly every team, special teams that destroy our opponents in the field position battle, an offensive line that not only knows who to block 100% of the time but blocks said person 100% of the time, and our jv's should be in the game by the 4th quarter at the latest. That is the kind of talent that i have believed that the Naselle Comet football team had at the beginning of the year, and the kind of talent we still have.
But that is not the season we've had so far.
I could go into detail about everything that we are doing wrong but i would probably bring some people to tears and quite frankly i am sick and tired of thinking about what we did wrong every week just to turn around and make the same stupid mistakes next week. I AM AS GUILTY AS ANYONE OF THOSE MISTAKES. But we all need to be held accountable for what we do wrong, as individuals and as a team. Captains- please tell us not just that we are doing something wrong but could you please tell us what we are doing wrong and how we can fix it? Please lead us? Thank you. As Trevin said, we have an amazing coaching staff and yes I believe they will do everything they can to help us but i think that the biggest problem is that we need to learn to help ourselves. We have some changes in the line up. DL/FB Robert Eaton and RB/FS Leonel Mendoza are out to rest injuries and RB/OLB Kai Leach is now FB/OLB Kai Leach and all-purpose players Chase and Chandler Chapman are the new RBs. DL/TE Jesse Lopez Has been replaced by DL Tanner Hovan. And DE Jake Condon is replacing myself. Hopefully these changes will put the best players on the field and more W's in the Comet's favor. We have another 5 games left in our regular season. The first 5 were inexcusable, but i want to remember them down the road and be able to say "This is what went wrong. This is what we did to make it better. Here is where we ended up." The shining lining of the whole situation is that we do have 4 regular season games left before the district crossover. I sure hope we decide to play comet football by then. I believe we can do it if everyone else does.
