First, an answer to JP-Era's thread.
1) Last night was definitley not Willis McGahee's fault. The run blocking was average at best. For every play a hole was opened, and Willis picked up at least 5 yards, there would be 3 plays where there was no where to go, and he got stuffed. I guarentee you, LT would of had very similar stats had he been there instead last night. Don't give me the "8 men in the box crap", we had at least 8 blocking, and last night, many couldn't cut it. (more on that later)
2) Bennie was nasty bad, and hasn't impressed me yet this preseason. He barely held his own pass blocking, and couldn't create any push at all, which was supposedly his strength. I'd like to see Tucker back there for a bit to see what he could do.
3) About the backups, Tucker, Peters, and Preston did good pass blocking, and did an decent job run blocking, except for Preston.
About Jerman, seriously JP-Era, if he's even close to as bad as you said he is, do you think McNally would of played him w/ the starters after Williams got nicked up? If you were at the game, and viewed the film multiple times like I did, you could see that he did an admirable job, and, IMO, did a better job than Anderson. The sack wasn't his fault, Anderson let another guy thru and JP avoided him right into Jerman's guy. I'm not saying he's amazing, but I'm perplexed why you say he sucks so bad, when in reality, you don't know what you talking about.
More notes on the game:
Postives:
-Gandy held own, was fairly impressive, and sprung Willis twice on big runs.
-MW was dominant at the point most of the time
-Very few drops by the WRs this game
-Haddad with another great return may have solidified his spot, had two catches, one was nullified by a penalty.
-Aiken had a nice game w/ 4 catches
-Smith two great catches and made the competiton at WR even closer.
-Wilson got open consistently, and had a catch or two called back.
-Jerman looked good
-the Dline looked great, and the standout was definitley Edwards
-Spikes was a beast again, and made that amazing play w/ Clements. THis guy has some serious ball skills, and we should try him at goalline TE sometime.
-Clements. Enough said. I'm begining to think we might HAVE to keep this guy.
-Our Safeties played well
- The Orton drive pitted the Bears first team O against the Bills backups.
Negatives:
-Run blocking was really average and inconsistent
-JP made a few more errors than what should of happened. He missed a wide open Wilson in the endzone, made some other inaccurate throws, and lost 20 yards on a fumbled snap.
-What happened to downfield passing?
-Lindell, missing a XP and a 46 yarder.
-Fletcher was the weak link in the defense, as I saw him miss 3 specific tackles, that led to big gains in the ground game. (including the 40 yard run)
-Pass blocking wasn't good enough, as our QBs often couldn't wait for the WRs to develop their routes.
-Interior blocking was terrible, Anderson, Vill, and Teague all got pushed around, and rarely opened holes.
-Where the hell is S Williams?
-Gates couldn't get much going, but much of that was due to blocking.
-JP didn't do enough to force the D back and respect the pass.
-Shelton missed a few blocks that led to stuffs of McGahee.
Overall, a very sloppy performance. It's only preseason, thankfully, and Mularky will undoubtedly work to fix these mistakes. McNally has his work cut out for him this week.
Comments are welcome.
