First off I'd like to say this is by no means meant as smack! This is the first live football I've watched in a year so I couldn't resist. It was either this or Pimp My Ride re-runs on MTV. :rofl3: I was out with a friend who just came back in town and started watching the game with 7 minutes left in the 1st Quarter.
I think Feeley is much improved from last year. He has happy feet, but he wasn't horrible. I admit I did laugh when he ducked under Urlacher rushing him (who wouldn't?) but was filled with guilt after I realised he was hurt on the play. Good thing it wasn't serious.
On the OL, Houck has his work cut out for him. I'd say he'd need to work on the running game, but there'd have to be one first. The runningbacks weren't very impressive but it's not like they had anywhere to go. Pass-blocking was average, just need some work picking up blitzes.
As for the RBs, Ricky looks like a shell of his former self. He looks nothing like the unique power/speed combo he had two years ago. He seems so much easier to bring down. As has been said in here, RBs picking up the blitz seems like a lost-art to Lamar Gordon (:goof: Not Ronnie Brown). He was lost like Michael Vick in the pocket.
David Boston and Gilmore really impressed me. Boston was running good routes, making great cuts and had some speed. If he can stay healthy he and Chambers can form a very good 1-2 punch, with Booker playing the slot.
On the DL, I thought you guys were very average. I didn't notice how much JT played, but it seemed like Grossman and Hutchinson had all day throw back there. The only times you got pressure was when Hutchinson was pitching a tent in the pocket. I also wasn't very impressed with the run defense, Jones looked like an all-pro on some plays bouncing it outside.
The secondary is going to be a huge weakness on this team. Multiple times you were burnt deep. If only Chicago had a QB who could hit that pass. Speed might be a problem in your secondary.
Overall, I wasn't very impressed. I know you guys know that I like to come here to take some shots at the Phins, but I honestly was expecting more out of the team.
And now, I just realised I wasted 15 minutes writing a post about a meaningless game that has nothing to do with the Bills. I think I'll go crawl back in my hole.
