Well, in the training camp stage, I bit the bullet and submitted a file, knowing that it might ruin y playbook/gameplan for the year. The whole point was to re-sign our DB chemistry leader, S Hammond.
Then, it appears, I failed to make him the offer that I had worked to clear cap space for. This is the sort of mistake that you just cannot make in this fast-moving league. It will hurt us badly this year.
I'm home sick, this wasn't a case of being too busy, just an oversight, I guess.
I am not exaggerating that the dropoff from these fairly subtle things could be enough to drop us out of the playoffs, right after a 16-0 season. I hope not, but these several things (WR/TE erosion, chem losses at D7 and DB) compounded will hurt us a lot.
