In any other sport when I watch during pre-season I never go “crazy”, but when it\u00a0comes to football I always have to catch myself before I start screaming at the TV.\u00a0I wonder why that is? \u00a0After watching the game again there’s a ton to clean up. \u00a0Bowles\u00a0is probably going to turn the heat up this week in practice:<\/p>\n
– So far so good with Lachlan Edwards and the punt coverage. \u00a0Every punt had good distance,\u00a0hang time and “flipped” the field.<\/p>\n
– Unfortunately we had nothing in the return game due to touchbacks and good WAS coverage.<\/p>\n
– Ross Martin may be a good kicker in the future but he’s not ready yet.<\/p>\n
– The “whiffs” and missed tackles need to start decreasing. \u00a0They’ve led to big gains and extended\u00a0drives.<\/p>\n
– Third down efficiency has to increase, too many third and longs are being converted.<\/p>\n
– It’s good that the defense is “bending” and not giving up points. \u00a0But I’m tired of seeing the\u00a0opponent march down the field for 7-8 minutes at a time.<\/p>\n
– Bad games from Marcus Williams and Erin Henderson. \u00a0Williams was soft in coverage giving up\u00a0completions and Henderson vacated his lane a few times allowing a couple of big runs.<\/p>\n
– Jordan Jenkins had a rookie up & down game. \u00a0He had two QB hits (which were almost sacks) but\u00a0he badly whiffed on a clean sack of McCoy.<\/p>\n
– Lorenzo Mauldin needs to get better cleats or improve his balance. \u00a0Because multiple times he\u00a0was closing in on the QB off the edge and he ended up on the ground. \u00a0He also lost containment\u00a0on a couple of runs.<\/p>\n
– Good games from Rontez Miles & Ronald Martin. \u00a0Both patrolled the middle of the field and made\u00a0multiple tackles at the line of scrimmage. \u00a0In addition Martin showed good range knocking passes\u00a0away on sideline patterns.<\/p>\n
– Even though Juston Burris gave up two TD’s (which he had good coverage on) he had some impressive PBU’s.<\/p>\n
– Is Leonard Williams going to average a sack a game for the year?<\/p>\n
– Solid games from Deon Simon and Mike Catapano particularly killing WAS\u00a0running attack.<\/p>\n
– Horrible drops which led to multiple three and outs and prevented the offense from developing\u00a0any kind of flow.<\/p>\n
– Zach Sudfeld made a nice TD catch, other than that the TE’s were awful in their ball security. \u00a0Kellen\u00a0Davis and Sudfeld have no excuse for allowing DB’s to knock the ball out. \u00a0And Jace Amaro had multiple\u00a0brutal drops that killed drives.<\/p>\n
– When Bilal Powell was at RB the running game looked good. \u00a0When Tommy Bohanon and Julian Howsare took\u00a0over our running game disappeared, enough said.<\/p>\n
– Considering Mangold sat out the OLine was solid. \u00a0Ben Ijalana & Brent Qvale alternated at RT and both\u00a0were not noticeable (which is what you want).<\/p>\n
– Jalin Marshall had a down game with multiple drops, he needs to bounce back next week.<\/p>\n
– Charone Peake also had a couple of drops but fought through and made some plays.<\/p>\n
– Robby Anderson was the big standout and it was good to see him high point the ball and take it away\u00a0from CB’s. \u00a0Has he moved up in the WR pecking order?<\/p>\n
– Shocked at how poorly Geno Smith performed. \u00a0Playing against #2’s you can’t be inaccurate and short\u00a0hopping balls. \u00a0In my eyes the #2 spot is now up for grabs between him and Bryce Petty.<\/p>\n
– Petty had a good game and continues to grow. \u00a0He showed good mobility in the pocket and was able to\u00a0make plays when the protection broke down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
