Here's my weekly game notes. Add or criticize.
POSITIVES:
-Defense looked like a spitting image of the Raven defense of the early 2000's. TJ Ward=Ed Reed. Elam actually had a great game. Sheldon Brown was solid.
-Eric Wright got hurt.
-Evan Moore is always on the positives. Great route running and catches! Good job from practice squad.
-Colt McCoy was accurate for the most part and that TD pass to Hillis was amazing.
-MoMass's catch that was tipped shows how great of a #2 he is gonna be. Great awareness.
NEGATIVES:
-Offensive Line had one of the worst games I've seen out of that unit. Thomas and Steinbeck look confused most of the time and Lauvao with the penalties killed us.
-No pass rush still. And when we do get to the QB, we can't get the sack. Someone needs to tell our D-Line to stop rubbing KY Jelly on themselves before going out on the field.
-Ben Watson didn't have a good game. Did not run the correct routes and dropped a few passes.
-Our 2 minute offense looked terrible today. Terrible time management and not enough hustle.
-Offense in the 2nd half was dead, mostly due to the conservative play calling. RUN, RUN, PASS, PUNT was our 2nd half game plan. This and only this killed us, especially when we were +5 in turnovers. Really?
-Stucky had a bad game and doesn't know how to get out of bounds.
-When will Robiskie get benched? I mean seriously he just is out there to be out there and he offers us absolutely no production. Put in Mitchell. If I was Mitchell id be fuming.
-And finally, I almost died on the way to watch the game at my Dad's. Some asshole chick on her cell phone tried turning into my lane when i was clearly parrallel with her. Bitch.
Thoughts?
This looked very similar to our first 3 games. We had the lead going into the 4th quarter but left our defense on the field too much and they eventually wore down. Our offensive line fell apart against a team with not much run defense. Good game for our defense for the most part. They really got after the ball and took it away 6 times. Our offense just could not capatalize. The pass to Watson at the end was a bad decision. Even if he caught it he would have been short and time would have run out.
