We've heard a lot from Pruitt about guys out due to COVID and contract tracing, no spring ball, and a fall camp where a bunch of guys missed time. You'd think that would impact the team most early in the season, right? Look bad early in the year, then get your legs under you as you get more practice reps and game time?
Well, we actually won and looked the best in our first 2 games, have gotten worse as the season goes on, and I think we've had guys affected less by COVID intra-season than a lot of other teams have.
So not only does the excuse not hold water because all teams have had to deal with it, it also doesn't make sense when you consider how the team has played.
