I think the problem is there's so MANY things that need work. Roster, tactics, organization...it's hard to say "well, if we just had (player name) instead of Sinc", or "if we played a diamond instead of 4-3-3".

I mean...there's also a lot of quality there; we're not Orlando. But it just seems like there's a whole bunch of little fixes we need, all together. I'm not sure Mike Norris is the kind of coach who could do that...

I can sort of buy running out of steam in Houston on the backend of a long road trip, because they never came back to Portland. But I don’t necessarily accept it after the last 3 games in total if that makes sense.

OTOH...the Dash; they're 1) not that good, and 2) a one-trick pony. No Ordonez, stop Salmon, stop the Dash, even scoreless it's a road point. "You had ONE job..."
