The Good, bad and the Ugly - Pre Season week 2

The Good

Tommy Kelly/Lamarr Houston - The DL as a whole did a great job of creating pressure, but these two stood out. Both guys continuously beat the man in front of them and kept Kolb from getting comfortable.

Defensive play calling - How long has it been since we could say that? The first team defense was playing aggressive, fast, and discipline. Loved some of the blitzes DA and Tarver have been dialing up.

Darren McFadden - Nothing new, when DMC is on the field hes one of the best backs in the league. We need him to stay healthy.

Rod Streater - Another solid performance from the undrafted rookie. He got open and caught the ball, cant ask for much more.

Matt Leinart - He didnt do anything overly impressive, but he looked a lot better last night then he did against Dallas. He still offers nothing down the field, but he took care of the ball and moved the offense a little bit.

Penalties - Or lack there of. Another good night without many penalties.


The Bad

Palmer - To be fair he was under a ton of pressure all night, but even when he wasnt he made some risky passes. He just has to be smarter and take whats there and stop forcing passes into traffic.

Offensive play calling - Im hoping that its mostly due to preseason and not wanting to give up too much, but then I see the defensive side of the ball and they arent playing that vanilla. I hate the draws and handoffs in third and long, its a preseason game, let the ball go.

Offensive line - Both units in both areas of blocking. We couldnt keep the QB clean, and we didnt block very well in the run game. Hopefully its just a change in scheme and its taking a little longer then hoped, but its cause for concern at this point (I also understand were missing Wiz which is huge).


The Ugly

Mike Goodson - He was awful. Made zero plays and also fumbled twice (could have been three). We need someone to step up in the backup RB battle and Goodson just dropped the ball. If you cant hold onto the ball you cant be on the field, its that simple.

DVD - This guy might just end up getting cut. He offers virtually nothing. He gave up catch after catch it seemed and he also missed a tackle that resulted in 6 for Arizona. All we heard in camp was how good he looked, well I havent seen any of that thus far. I honestly kind of expect him to be cut.

Special Teams - They just havent looked that good as a whole. We have only returned one kick past the 20 through two preseason games, we have had a punt and a kick blocked, its just not good. Granted Shane and Jano havent been in there for much of it so im not too worried just yet.

-defense after they gave up a td
-well timed killer blitzing
-streater (dude is balling)
-dmac (except in goaline situations)
