Part 3/7:
Both analysts emphasized the importance of accountability among players. Neighbors vented his frustration over his limited ball opportunities, but Banks pointed out the systemic issue: the offense ran just 18 plays in the first half, largely due to defensive failures that kept them on the field. The lack of offensive possession made it challenging for any player—including Neighbors—to get into a rhythm.
Managing expectations for performance is crucial, especially when defense fails to give the offense opportunities. Banks made it clear that for the offense to thrive, the defense must do its part to get the opposing team off the field.
