1. Sherod gets gassed easily. You could plainly him winded several times during the game. I'm sure his conditioning is not back quite yet. Mooney needs to recognize this and sub Sherod out.
2. So who made the big crunch time plays at the end of the game. Gilly did. Any coincidence that Mooney gets him rest during the game and then he came up big at the end??? I don't think so.
3. This was discussed in the game thread, but Crabtree needs to get more time. He is just plain solid out there. I think there is a case to be made that we actually start him at the 3, move Burton to the 4 and bring Cayo off the bench.
4. I've been giving Grace a little love this year but my god he was bad out there on Saturday. They just flat abused him on defense.
5. Sal is completely lost. Sad, I like Sal, but dude is in his own head right now.
That second half was a lot of fun, probably the loudest the Robins Center has been in a while. And it was such a fitting end to have Gilly make the plays he did in crunch time. So, huge kudos to this team for coming back.
Now on the flip side, the first half was an abomination. We came out not ready to play. I just don't understand this team, they are a bunch of 5th and 6th year guys and yet for some reason they can't get themselves mentally ready to go for all 40 minutes. Just flatly unacceptable.
