First off I've been pretty upset with how Linehan has called games so far. Today was an exception because I thought most of the calls were good (except again, I'd like to see a little more running by Ronnie). The only series that I can really complain about is at the end of the game when we had 4 downs and we didn't even run it once.
Chambers...what can you say about him? I've been a supporter of his since day 1 but it is becoming more and more obvious that he simply doesn't have the concentration needed to be a #1 WR. Way too many drops and big ones at that (50 yd bomb right in his hands AND a possible tying score at the end).
Finally, Reggie Howard would make good kindling because it is so easy to burn him. At the end of the game when our D has to make a stop what happens??? A long bomb completion to his man of course. He went for the pick when he could have easily just batted it down. I guess that pick would have almost sealed it for us but Reggie should know that the only INT's he gets are the ones where Aaron Brooks throws the ball right at him.
On a positive note, our D didn't allow points on the opening drive (although it was very very close).
In conclusion....
Gus actually played very well and without a doubt was one of our better offensive players today (first time I could say that since Denver)
Linehan called a better game but still needs to run with our strenghts
Chambers proved Saban right when he called him a decent WR
Howard looks like a candle cause he always gets lit up
Patience is needed cause I would be extremely surprised if the Fins can even get to .500 this year
