    I don't disagree that the loss of Coombs has had a big impact on the offence. What impressed me about him was his ability to get YAC yards, much like Andre Durie did when he was in his prime. Having said that, I am still concerned that Ricky Ray is not the same. It looks like he has lost something. The pounding he has been subjected to may be taking its toll.

    That seems highly probable, unfortunately. He has been hit far too often this year. If we can keep running the ball successfully, hopefully we can reduce the pressure on the QB down the stretch.

    Has anyone had a chance to watch the receivers?

    I'd have 2 questions:

    (1) If the offence adapting to an injured Ricky (i.e. not as many downfield routes)?
    (2) Are the receivers actually getting open?

    Sometimes you just have to give credit to the defenders. There are a lot of good DB's down South to choose from. I was a little surprised how often they had Ricky throw against the Als young corner Mincy Saturday. IMO he is one of the best new corners in the League this year.

    do'nt know where to find the YAC stats but would be curious to see who the team leaders are based on targets.
