I think we have a lethally bad combination. A roster that has many guys with low compete levels, combined with a terrible coach and system.

Sure players have off games but this is beyond a 1-2 game stretch. Sure if a team goes out and gets blown out one night, then sure that’s a game where there was probably a lack of effort.
But there is no way an entire team looks as lifeless as they have for the first 17 games of this season, and really the entire season last year because of lack of effort. Just not happening.
The system they are being asked to play has them playing passive and reactive and that makes players look slow and like they are chasing the game.
