Lets see if I can do this in under 10 minutes while that steak is cooking, as per usual, in total random order.
The GOOD
* Everyone will talk about the greer int, but in my opinion the play of the game was Whitner. I"ve been harping on this guy for a long time about his lack of meaningful plays. Well today that sack that made the FG a 51-yarder (missed) was f'n HUGE. It seemingly woke up the defense.. That was a HUGE play for Whitner.
* Poz looked like a Pro bowler today.. Tough hits, fighting off blocks, looked good in space.. I think easily the best game of his career.
* Kyle Williams, and I cant believe I'm saying this, looks like a borderline Pro Bowler.
* I dont care what the stats say.. Aaron Schobel is playing the best run defense of his career; by a mile.
* Speaking of not caring bout stats; jesus can anyone imagine what Lynch's numbers would look like had he had the occasional hole to run through? This guy is so tough.
* McKelvin did a decent job pressed into a nickel role today.
* Josh Reed has been as solid as he can be.
* Our defense layed the lumber today.
The Bad
* Jason Peters, you ****ing suck right now.. I dont know if he's intentionally playing half-assed out of frustration over money, but he looks like a CHUMP right now. He played good again in the second half, but guess what, its a 60 minute game.. get your head out of your ass, you're killing us.
*He's not the only OL that gets wrath today though. They ALL sucked.. Yes, Fowler sucks and we all know that, and Butler seems to get whipped plenty too here. But when is someone going to say that Derrick Dockery is EXCEPTIONALLY ORDINARY??? He hasnt done ****.. The fact we're 4-0 with such poor overall OL play is amazing to me.
* Rookie or not, james hardy has a very,very (let me say very again) long way to go to make it in this league.. His hands are suspect right now, but worse, his positional is horrendous. This guy is one of the most raw WR's i've seen here in quite some time.. Please, everyone stop with the we wont miss Parrish on offense crap. . we do miss him. Hardy, aside from the big Jags catch, doesnt look good doing anything.. Catching, Route running, blocking, positioning.. Nothing. I would strongly consider putting Jenkins in at the 3rd WR next week or activating Steve Johnson.
* I know he hasn't "killed us" yet, but is Keith Ellison ever going to make a play?
* I gotta come back to his. We better start playing better on the OL.
SUMMARY:
I'm keeping my *****ing to a minimum because the bottom line is this.. Whether your playing the Rams or the Cowboys, when you win on the road its huge.. I dont care if its 42-10 or 6-3; a win on the road is a win, and that is (literally) ALL that matters.
