When both your wingers stand still/have no idea what they are doing defensively it can pull a lot of you playing center with players like that. Not giving him a pass but yeah... our team shows no effort doing anything. I'd like to see him in a Rucchin type role with some better players... that will never happen with Eakins in charge though.
There are certain guys that regardless of production at least are giving the effort you want to see. Jones for instance. He probably does the most work with nothing to show for it on the stat sheet, but the effort is there and you can kind of figure what his role is/should be. I just havent seen it from Lundy. I thought at one point he could be our new Sammy P with Jones as a Moen type.
Regardless, We have a roster right now that isnt deep enough, I feel, to spread around the talent just to give a guy a boost. Im not trying to save 1 guy when I have full lines that are ineffective. Im sure at some point there will be a "why the hell not" moment, but that likely to take place after a "come to Jesus" moment.
Im more disappointed with the veteran leadership at this point than the coaching. It all sucks, but it feels like there is a lack of accountability and that a guy like Getz would have been keeping the lockerroom in check. It also doesnt feel like the RC mutiny, this team isnt good enough to demand that kind of respect. Im blabbing now. Post over.
