A Fan’s Notes: In Pursuit of Perfection

It is the football coach’s job to be obsessed with perfection. That’s not the job for the fan. He must encourage his young charges to reach for their best, to challenge them to dig deep and execute at an immaculate level.

Let Eli Drinkwitz and Kirby Moore lose sleep about the passing game that is not yet fully in sync. Let Corey Batoon try to figure out why his run defense seemed to open up in the middle against Buffalo. Let DJ Smith pour over the tape to find the right linebacker rotation. Let Brandon Jones fret about how to clean up a penalty-ridden offensive line.
