Who on this team seems to play the defense Archie is asking for? This team has talent on the offensive side, but they just either are not athletic/quick enough, interested in trying or just not getting the defensive concepts. You really think it will all of a sudden click for them next year?

You can’t pay Archie almost $6m (for 3 seasons) to be about .500 in the 3rd year, so we need a BIG improvement next season.

We have the fans attention, now let’s reward them with a big win!
