Road Tripping on a Short Week TNF Cards @ Rams

Think Kolb proved a lot of doubters wrong in that regard. He took a beating yesterday and never said a word. Took full blame in the post-game presser today. I like that.

In a small bout of good news, Mike Mayock called Andre Roberts the most improved WR he'd seen on tape this season. It also sounds like Ryan Williams is ok, at least he said he was.

Reading other sites, it sounds like Kolb gained a lot of people's respect last night in that area.

Still, the accuracy issues are alive and well. Way too many missed throws yesterday. Ya we dropped 3 bad balls that all would have been 1st downs (Whiz said 4 in his presser but I only remember 3) but that's no excuse for missing Rob Housler and Andre Roberts for long, easy touchdowns. Both guys were plenty open, Roberts in particular.

2 scores there and we're 5-0.

Kolb was tough and that was about it in last night game. Kolb was just a much of a problem in that game as the rest of the offense. I saw about 5 missed TD last night 4 if you think Jenkins makes the tackle on Houlser I don't think he would have.

If we stay with Kolb i'm fine with that. If the move back to Skelton again i'm fine with it. I agree that the offense from top to bottom was bad. I did like what Roberts did. I would leave him out of this.

OMFG! I have NFL Sunday Ticket and recorded last night's game because of prior plans. So, I just get to the 2 minute warning of the 1st half and it appears there was some kind of glitch! That's it. Rest of the game is non-existent even though the minutes show up on the bottom of the screen. No video. No audio. Nothing!

Anyway, so I got to see almost a 1/2 of football. Here's what I came away with: 1) Not a fan of the heavy bias towards pass playcalling. That imbalance plays into the D's desire to rush Kolb, knowing we'll struggle to protect him. Also, leaves even more time on the clock for the opposition to utilize to keep in a game. I love our D, but that doesn't mean I want to see offenses get additional cracks at scoring on it. Since our offense isn't a dominant one, games should be low scoring and giving them more chances only decreases our odds of victory. 2) Kolb didn't have a great half. Just was not putting the ball in locations the receivers could easily make plays on. This to me seemed like more of a problem (again in the 1st half) than any dropsies...including Floyd's. Is it because his throwing lanes are rapidly shifting as the play develops due to poor OL play, causing him to be forced to throw in the "area" instead of a more precise location, or is it all on him? 3) Housler was consistently getting open and had some pretty good blocks. I like how he has developed and look forward to seeing him involved more. 4) Acho seemed to be making his presence be felt. Some pressure, some solid tackles. Surprised when I saw the game stats online that he only got 3 tackles. 5) Peterson looked like his old self handling return duties...no pressing/fumbles/etc. However, on defense, on the Rams 2nd play of the game, he didn't turn around when Amendola caught that deep pass. Actually interfered without getting flagged on that play. Amendola's body language/movement made it clear the ball was coming. I thought Peterson should have turned around and picked it off or at least knocked it away. Later, he also failed to wrap up on a tackle, only to recover to make that tackle. Had he wrapped up initially, that play wouldn't have resulted in a 1st down. 6) Sherman is still on the team, so maybe we should feel free to allow him to lead the way once in a while! Actually, I'd be interested in learning how many snaps Sherman had in each of the last 2 games. If Williams is struggling to run inside, using another body to make some holes might be worth a try...inside or out.
