So -- will things improve this year?

I've not had much time to check out the 2009 version of the Indians. My friends tell me that the coaches are very high on the possibilities on offense with a very good bunch of skill people looking very solid. The question is how the offensive line will pan out.

Not heard a lot about the defense.

After Three Games -- 2008

Thought I'd make some comment now and see how it compares with my perceptions in a few weeks.

The first three weeks have been -- ummm -- disappointing/depressing/alarming.

It seems like there are a number of good athletes out there but defensively, they have been slow reacting. Not slow-footed. Slow reacting. Once they get it in gear, they move well. I found the Westlake game particularly alarming because the defense did very little to slow down Westlake in the second half yet Warriors were doing nothing unexpected for a Westlake team. Our kids seemed a little perplexed. That's not very Hart-like.

Offensively: Just about the time something went well against Westlake, like there was a turnover, a missed exchange, a dropped pass or a missed receiver. The offense cannot afford too many more goofs. Last season, the starters had a total of 6 interceptions and 6 fumbles in 14 games. After three games, this group is halfway to those same totals with 3 interceptions and 3 fumbles lost.

2008 -- Spring Practice

I understand that Hart is working on new offensive and defensive primary schemes. Any comments?

Nattering nitwits

There have always been a fair number of dimwitted posters but am I correct in my assessment that there has been a huge increase in the last few months of posters' comments who are not only absolutely brainless but venal as well?

What's the cure?
