A Win is a Win for this team ... at this point. This game is about what we can expect the rest of the year ..... a combination of frustration and highlights.
WR - Grade=B+. Davis and Walter continue to get better every week. With no running game, they managed to look really good. Once AJ & JJ get back we will really have a WR corp to be reckoned with. I hope we will see more 3 WR sets.
TE - Grade=B+. Daniels is excellent and we just need to utilize him more and especially in the red zone.
Oline - Grade=D. No holes for the RB's.
QB - Grade = B+. Settling in very well. When we shore up the running game, he should become a very good QB.
RB - Grade=F. Frankly, I see nothing to be optimistic about here. IMO, we have no more talent than street free agents here so, why not bring others in (I don't know who but, there's bound to be some out there who just need a chance) and give them a try. I mean, I'm sure that they can run for at least a yard and a face of dirt just as well as what we have now ........ and you never know when you may find a diamond in the ruff but, you've gotta give 'em a chance first. SURELY, Darius Walker is AT LEAST as good as Dayne/Gado. At this point who gives a CRAP that the staff is comfortable with Dayne/Gado because they aren't performing and we can do better.
FB - Grade=C. Leach was excellent last year but, we can't seem to find a way to utilize him or Cook this year.
DLine - Grade=C+. Flashes of good stuff surrounded by big holes. Inconsistency seems to be a problem at this point. Perhaps experience will help.
MLB - Grade=C+. Too many tackles 5-9 yards down field.
OLB - Grade=D. Too many missed tackles and tackles 5-9 yards down field.
CB - Grade=B-. Faggins best game this year and Bennett has ability.
S - Grade=D. We just don't have the talent here. For every good play, there seems to be 4 let downs.
ST - Grade=A+. Kris Brown s/b special teams player of the week. Return game and coverages were good, too.
Coaching - Grade=C+. Clock management seems to be a recurring problem. Too many passive schemes on both sides of the ball concern me but, a win is a win and they have this team in its best position ever. Unfortunately, the rest of our division is stronger.
Jacksonville has been getting better every week and Garrard is having an excellent year and we tend to make QBs like him look better than they really are. We can win this game if we eliminate penalties, win the turnover game, get a couple of big plays on each side of the ball and maybe a big return, too. The Jags defense has been very good and, if we come out too conservative, it could be a long day. I think we need to open things up from the first series.
I'm still looking at a positive 7-9 or 8-8 year with a significantly improved team over last year.
Okay that's my take on it, what's yours?
