Just heard on local sports radio that Urban has told all his coaches to cancel travel during the off-week and rearrange all recruiting efforts. He wants them all on-hand to fix the issues with the team.
Smart move by him ... if they want to make the playoffs and beat us, that's the focus he needs to have.
I would expect to see some improvement in run-blocking. They have bodies, they're just not opening holes. They seem to lack nastiness though ... I think a good O-line needs to have "I'm going to punish you" attitude.
I'm a bigger skeptic about their D-Line ... which is greatly exposing the rest of their D. I'm not sure how much improvement they can get there.
Urban also was asked about friction between him, Gene and Drake. Interesting that he said "I talk to Gene everyday, there's no friction", but didn't really mention Drake. Local sports-radio isn't buying it.
