A rookie is a rookie regardless of age.
Just got done with first half....id give it 6-7....penalties, particularly cousins....ugh. otherwise, solid performances across the board.....few bad mistakes though. Pinky whiffing on that trap block, 2 real badd decisions from weedz....gordon running lazy routes.....all good things as talking points when the team reviewed the film. Not too bad tho.
Norwood apparently practices like shit, but shows up gameday. Hardesty is gonna be an x factor this year....didnt hesitate at all.....just cut and go. If that wheel holds up, we got a hell of a 1-2 punch. think lauvaos prkblems are directly related to RT....i think all the bad RT play last year messed his head, cause he covers outside in rather than inside out. Not sure if coached like that or not......but blitzing backers are getting thru easy.
Dawson....is money. Win this man some games pleaze.
I know many of ya think LB is a liabolity, and it is to the extent of experience. But fort, robertson, and jmj look like a competant group to fill in for a few games. Theryre still falling for play fakes at this point, but experien e will help greatly inthat regard. Otherwise, these guys can ball. It may just be better to train them up this year so they can really get after it next.
Wheres all the "cut sheldon brown, hes terrible" threads?
Hagg looking fast....he and ward can be a good pairing i think. Dockery and wade i thought played smart, and reasonable well. On a punt, a fair catch was called at the 9. Rather than watch him catch it, dockery went behing him and stood ready at the goaline if the returner ducked to let it go for a touchback. Thats good coaching and smart, heads up football.
More later.....
