 |
|
|
Good
- Minimized penalties
- Improved 3rd down efficiency (7/12)
- Forcing turnovers & capitalizing on them by scoring
- Solid pass blocking
- More balanced offensive attack
- McFadden finding holes & fighting for every single inch. Superb effort.
- Marcel Reece sighting
- The emergence of Brandon Myers
- Palmer. Other than the INT, he's been very solid all 3 games for us this season. He closed the game for us today.
- Seabass being Seabass
Bad
- Lack of pressure/pass rush on Big Ben
- Numerous missed calls by refs
- Our secondary. To say it's thin would be an understatement.
Ugly
- Mundy lunging himself into DHB for a helmet to helmet collision. No flag, but he will be fined. Hopefully DHB will be ok. He had a similar neck injury last season when he was carted off the field vs MIN.
- Moore tripping on first play of the game resulting in a Palmer INT
Things looked ugly at first, but this team fought hard & finished the game in the end. Definitely a feel good win for us going forward. I'm hoping the offense continues to get more comfortable with each other & the success continues to grow.
More to come.

Good:
-Palmer - Stud today. 3 TD. INT was due to Moore slipping in that damn dirt infield.
-DMAC - Set the pace early. Grinded out some runs late.
-Oline - Opened lanes. Picked up the pass pro in the 2nd half.
-Penalties - Finally starting to play smart.
-Run D - Steelers are not good on the ground, but they didn't let them get going
-STs - 51 kick return from Goodson Jano money on the game winner.
Bad:
-Pass rush - Not going to win many games this way.
-Coverage - Not breaking on the ball and making plays. Receivers running open all day.
Ugly:
-Replacement Refs - gave Steelers a go ahead TD after an obvious pick play on 4th down. DHB helmet to helmet no call. That's player safety. A major issue and they blew the call.

+1
If it weren't for those turnovers we don't win. Ben and those WRs had us no problem, those turnovers were huge.

We almost had another when Brown fumbled it at the goal line. Phillip Wheeler played aggressively fasho.

I think we ran better blitzes in the 4th so shout out to everyone involved with that. But at the same time our ST's almost let up a TD again so they really need to improve on that.
No one mentioned the Bryant, Ro or Pat Lee for the FF's. Someone also had one on Wallace too.
Wheeler had a few nice plays too. One ugly one though.
Hagan deserves a mention for being so clutch as well. Dmoe too.
That's about all I can think of that hasn't been mentioned yet.

He should get better too. He has only really practiced and played LT and hasnt event played offense for very long. |

It's going to be nice to do this list this week.
Good:
- Palmer - I don't think anything could be said that probably hasn't.
- McFadden - Finally did something
- O-Line - Played well. If they play like that all year, I'd be confident.
- Penalties or lack there of. Teh REfZ is out too get uz!!! NFl h8s da Rayders!11!!
Bad:
- I'd like to see more consistency out of our defense. They just didn't impress at all. Literally no pressure all game.
- Tyvon Branch - I know I lit a fire under you guys w/ all my talks about him over the offseason but has anyone been paying attention?? Has anyone noticed how very average he is? I put him in the bad b/c dude REALLY needs to go to Geometry class. He takes the worst angles I've seen. I can't specifically remember what plays they were but he infuriated me.
Ugly:
I really can't think of anything aside from Bey getting hurt. I hope he's good to go after some time....
