This team needs a 'tude, in a big way. And it needs to be based on play. D'Qwell and Shaun are solid pieces, to be sure. But what about Kam, Eric Wright, and Leon Williams? I haven't heard a word about Beau Bell. Wasn't he one of the guys we traded draft choices to get last year? These are supposed to be among our young studs, aren't they? I've actually heard faint whispers of "bust" about Wimbley. Until these guys start pitching shut outs and FG-only games against quality competition on a regular basis do they have a chance of winning. they have to avoid the Cleveland Collapse that has plagued teams to this point.
