loved the accountability from klieman in the post-game presser. that is what good leadership looks like. he said they can't make excuses and i agree.
a few notes from his presser...
-he mentioned that thompson didn't have the same mobility after the goal line hit. it was a very good point. obviously that's not an excuse. but for impartial observers, thought it was noteworthy.
-he pointed out that his guys have faced major adversity the last month or so leading up to the first game. i really appreciated this reminder because i had forgotten.
-perhaps his most compelling point was regarding the wide receivers. klieman noted that almost all of them were out this game which obviously hurts your passing game. again, not an excuse, but helpful intel for those unaware.
-finally, he said the starting center and team leader being essentially out for the game was a tough pill to swallow. on top of that, the backup wasn't available.
the last one especially is a great excuse and i would be happy to offer it to klieman, but what's the point? no way he'd take it. he's just a no excuse kinda guy.
