Or he could be saying something to just say something because fans and media need to here SOMETHING. Urban has always kept things close to the vest and I have never put much stock into what he says, but as Steve said a few weeks back, the urgency in practices has been missing, maybe this is to what he is referring. I still stand by my opinion that we are not that bad. We are inconsistent and have made very bad plays at very bad times. I think the team chemistry is a huge issue, think about this sequence:
- having highly touted freshman come in being cocky - having the senior offensive leader crack back at them through the media - senior leader then goes out and lays the biggest egg ever - no playmakers, but a lot of young guys on the sideline that show glimpses of brilliance (and inexperience) when they get in the game - 3 straight losses What I hoped happened over the off week was that players and coaches were able to decompress and everyone realize what needs to be done to win. Thinking that Urban and staff haven't seen some specific areas of improvement, doesn't give him much credit. Did he suddenly forget everything that has been successful in the past? Or is it that his system can only be successful with great players?

I don't buy into this "its the practice" excuse. Surely our highly paid and successful coaches could tell prior to game 7 and three consecutive losses that our practices were not getting it done... Why was nothing done prior to that, or was there? If something was done, why has it not made a difference? Are we to believe that it took them this long to figure out that the practices were lacking? C'mon!
