Too reckless with the football. Needs to cover the rock up. Even going to back to last week when he had his touchdown run down the left sidelines, he was carrying the ball on the right side. The guy's fast granted but he's putting the ball in a position to be stripped. 1st kickoff return in today's game, he runs into traffic with one arm cradling the ball. Put 2 hands on the ball when you run into traffic, Ted. This guy is a fumble waiting to happen...
 
He is a little reckless, i think it's because he's always worried about how to make the big play rather than how to make the smart play. I think not getting out of bounds on our drive before the half just to pick up 3-4 extra yards was another stupid, and reckless, decision. He'll learn though. You can see he's developing into a much better player.
 
looed like he took himself out of the game mentally after a couple of those late drops. i hope that isnt the case though, he had played decently until the whole team came unglued
 
Game plan - Man coverage on the outside and stop the run. Let Ginn,Camarello and Bess to beat them.the whole game brushi as usual came in only 1/4 of the snap and mayo and guyton played ILB on man coverage taking the field away.
 
dont you think after todays game talking about a ginn fumble that has yet to happen is a lil silly

On that play he looked outside but there was a guy near the sidelines so he decided to try and break up field. He took a chance but it didn't pay off. He clearly thought about going out of bounds.
 
He needs to develop some football smarts and learn when getting out of bounds is more important than picking up a few extra yards. Also that return that ended up at the 2 yard line was just a very poor decision on his part.

I was also nervous when he made a catch and cut into the middle of the field. It turned out to be a nice gain but he was holding the ball a little too far away from his body and I was worried that someone was going to strip the ball from the backside.
 
I'm more concerned about his lack of decisiveness in returning kicks. He spends far too much time looking for a path instead of using his speed and pick the first seam. The first 10 or 15 yards he has the ball he seems to be jogging while he waits for the hole. I'm screaming RUNNNN RUNNNN everytime I see it.

Pisses the wife off something fierce. She just doesn't get me.
 
That last return was dumb but I'm not too mad because he was just trying to make something happen with the team losing. Obviously it wasn't a smart choice but I don't think he would ever try something like that under normal circumstances.

I saw a lot of cover 2 zone from the Pats today. it was the fins that played too much man.

I believe getting away from the 3-4 scheme and playing man D is what burned the fins.

Abandoning the defensive scheme that got us this far was a mistake.

3-4 with lots of different blitzes from moving LB's and DE's and zone blitzes would have confused Cassel.

We played a simple D, man on the outside, safeties protecting the middle to take away the TE and Welker coming across in the short zone...so , we give up the big plays down field.

Bad guess.
