Matt Roth

Glad to see Roth getter better. I just wish that our offense would do the same.

I decided to watch Carey every play on offense and Roth on defense. What shocks me about Roth is how tiny he looks. I don't care about the height/weight technicalities. His frame is very small compared to the guys he is being asked to defeat. I remember he wore #31 in college so obviously he must have started out at LB or DB at Iowa. He just looks much smaller than I projected.

Roth takes a straight ahead charge almost every time. The clever wiggles or variety of rush moves just aren't there. He ends up in a lockarmed stalemate with the offensive lineman one play after another. We'll need to scheme to set him free after the QB with a jump start edge. The effort is tremendous and I'm sure it will increase when the opener arrives. Roth is a gamer especially when you watch the lame turn-your-back-to-the-line-of-scrimmage nonsense from Manny Wright.

thanks, what about big Vernon?

I still would have preferred to still have Patrick Surtain.

I was watching the Steeler's broadcast of it, so they didn't ever really say anything about Miami. They never announced who made what play. Of course I knew who they were. :wink:

Yes, that really irritates me...My idea of the job of a commentator is to commentate on the GAME not on one team. A lot of them are doing that. Thank goodness most of the commentators during the regular season don't do that, except the Jets commentators. To me they are novices who still don't know what their job is.
