Just a long list of ramblings...please forgive me
-I was joking with my brother that after all the dopey penalties last week...and such an emphasis on the penalties...watch the first play of the game be a penalty..didn't even get the words out of my mouth..Spragan jumps offsides on the very first play...unbelieveable!
-Reggiw Howard just frustrates the hell out of me..I have tivo and you watch his coverage and its not bad....up until the ball is delivered..some reason...somehow..he pulls up almost stops to make a play on the ball..giving the opening to the WR he is covering
-I know people defend Sam madison here..and his coverage has been pretty good...but OMG...watch this guy try to tackle...or even more so try to stay away from the tackle and it just makes my mouth drop. I have never seen so much running around a pile in my life
-Our secondary is very average..we can not get off the field on 3rd down at all..we are giving up 1st downs on 3rd downs at over a 50% clip...that is just ridiculous. I can remember Schulters picking off a pass...but I can't seem to recall anyone coming up with any...am I wrong? The tackling(or lack thereof) is terrible...noone wraps up...they drop a shoulder or drop to cut the guys legs out..terrible
-Channing Crowder had a bad game today..over ran his side several times which led to some gig gains..he is a rookie..so you have to take the good with the bad...but he needs to be more disciplined
-Chris Chambers has been a HUGE disappointment so far..HUGE...he can make the most acrobatic catches and drop and fumble balls all over the field..He needs to step it up...becuase contrary to what some think...he is not an elite reciever..somehow..someway..he has to make that catch on that deep ball today..bad throw by Gus..but IT HAS TO BE caught
-Yes we are all disappointed...but remember..last year at this point we were 0-5...so yes we like to have played better...but we just finished a run against some top defenses(Denver,NY,Carolina.Tampa)...so 2-3 is not a killer
Overall I think the penalties and the lack of a big play on the def side of the ball has me the most frustrated..Gus has been erratic..WRs have dropped alot of balls...and it has made for some very irratable sundays. Hopefully we can get some of these things fixed
