I don't think it's a secret that I am not a fan of Raheem. However, I have also said that I have seen improvement with the team - minimal gains have been exhibited, but, there are still glaring issues that continue to linger from last season. All I'm saying is that this 3-1 record is smoke and mirrors thus far. The running game is non-existent, the pass-rush is mediocre. Gerald McCoy has been a disappointment thus far. Granted, no one expects huge number from him. But, when I key in on him during games - he is getting absolutely abused and he shows absolutely no strength or technique. Additionally, Stylez White continues to fear an inside move which has rendered him a one-trick pony. Watch White and how the offensive tackle gives him the inside lane, b/c he knows White won't take it, and how White tries to go around the tackle. That lack of a consistent pass-rush will doom this team just like it did in the final stretches of the '08 season.
Freeman is making better decisions this season and looks to have progressed. However, the team as a whole, is not a 3-1 football team. I reiterate: "Five. Dash. Two." You are what your record says you are at the end of the season. Not a quarter of the way through it.
