First, let's not get to excited about the Cleveland Blue Raiders just yet...the season is still young and there is still a whole lot of football left to be played. As a Cleveland Alumni I was not too impressed with the play of our team. The Cleve/McMinn game to me was rather "sloppy". It was sloppy on both teams. Fumbles, careless penalties was the "eyesore" that stood out. The defense played pretty well with loads of room for improvement. I do realize that some of the players were playing injuries and our roster doesn't provide enough depth to get some needed rest. Our offense has to depend upon a young signal caller. And our running backs are capable of running the ball very effectively. But before we can say that Cleveland is a great team we need to remember that we are in a very weak region. In order for this team to flourish and be considered very good, the team needs to hang about 28-35 pts. or more on the scoreboard. There is no "superstar" on this team this year which could make Cleveland that much more dangerous in the upcoming weeks in the season and post-season. But the one thing that I also saw was the fact that one of the speedsters for Cleveland will not turn up into the hole. He 90% of the time tries every time to bounce it out to the outside. The offensive line to me is not staying with their blocks long enough to really open the holes for the backs. One in particular is the right tackle. He stands around more than 70% of the time. Also, the playcalling is still uncertain. I would not have called a "reverse" with 2:00 minutes to go in the game. I would've been a little bit more conservative and tried to holding onto the ball. I really don't think the team has had time to "gel" and come together. But don't get me wrong, I still think that there is alot of talent on this team and they could do some big things if they all come together.
