I see so many stats and blame threads... but i really beleive our problems are top to bottom.
QB - Drew was off target a bit last week for sure. 7 sacks will do that. BUT. he has not fumbled. his 1 INT was nott he worst pass ever thrown. If Henry wasn't so short and have very average hands it woulnd't have happened. They seem to be running shot passing game (that isn't working really) but overall the numbers are okay. yes drew is waiting a bit too long for something to open up, but he rarely has time and if he does they have extra men in coverage, and no one is getting open.
Oline - if i was picking our single biggest problem, this is it. seriously. anyone who Blitzes gets through. no one is picking up blitzes. even 4 man fronts are causing problems. it's been BRUTAL. and Mike Williams has been terrible. their run blocking is even bad this year. I think the penalties might even be down but they are horribly timed.
RB- what exactly has TH done besides average a shade over 3 yards/carry. He has looked the worsti have seen him. Oline may be part of it. but WIllis put together a string of solid runs when trying to kill the clock on Jax. had Villarial not taken that penalty we would have been in solid FG range if not better. he had another 1st. Herny did nothing special on the goal line so far either.
WR - Drops at bad times, fumbles and simply not getting open. Moulds doesn't look anything like 02 Moulds. Josh Reed has the worst drops. just brutal. Evans is being underused and when Drew does have time, the WR's are not finidng ways to get open.
D- overall they have been the best until of course. But the mental error by Clements killed us... our safeties have been pretty bad. Milloy is far more important to us than i thought. Wire is terrible. The D is still not stepping up enough when the game is on the line. And i saw a bit too much of the '02 D last week where they weren't wrapping up and tackling. The D is Solid but they have to step up. Vincent has been awesome... he sure doesn't look 33 at all. still.. a great D needs to play their greatest when needed. ours isn't doing tha so far.
ST - everytime we get a good return someone takes a stupid penalty. How dumb was Kevin Thomas last week? there's no reason for it. DISCIPLINE. And Clements terrifies me back there. he holds the ball too recklessly and is prone to fumbling. McGee has show something.. i'd feel safer with him.
Coaching - Playcalling has again been questionable. these short passes aren't working out.. thye need to take a few more shots downfoe;d to utilize the new rules and Moulds and Evans abilities. The running game is not working so much, so why not try mixing it up more and give Willis a drive once in a while. My big issue is discipline. where is it? why the penalties? why the mental breakdowns? why the confusion? I just can't explain a lot of tings... and Mularkey is frightening me with his GW like tendancy to just accept these things as the offenders come to the sideline. GET MAD! let them know it's not accpetable! bench someone! do something!
anyway...
The calls have gone against us a lot. we made so many mental errors and there are so many stupid mistakes, I'm starting to feel like it's 03 all over again. A good team that just can do no right.
I hopethis bye week is being put to good use.
