Nobody expects to be hit in head with helmet when u re tackling someone.. I always do that when I play football back in HS and I never, I repeat, never ever got hit in head with helmet while tackling someone..

Which TD, what is your question.....?

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

I hope John Jansen is treating preseason like a waste of his time because he was so very bad tonight. He is pretty good at turning it off and on so I will try and forget the images I have of a second string DE bull rushing him into submission like a little bitch. Joe Bugel is officially on my "is this guy over the hill by about a decade watch." Defense looked good. No complaints. I think Campbell looked just fine as well. What do you expect when he gets blindsided twice and our yards per rush averaged just under a yard per carry during the first few series. Oline was just absolutely pitiful and remember the Titans defense is most likely going to be towards the bottom of the league.

Ok, whatever. I just thought he shouldn't have risked it when there was someone else there to make the tackle.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

The outcome of the game was a win for us, however after my analysis we should have either tied or lost. Here ar my thoughts.

1st Team Offense
Jason Campbell was pretty solidwith the excecption of his % and no TD passess. I am weary of him turning the ball over on fumbles. I feel that at least one of the sacks on him could have been avoided had he observed the defense and shifted protection accordingly (the fumble he lost). To his credit he threw no intercecptions, and showed alot of poise.

O-Line
I know that Chris Samuels is out and Wade is new at LG, but the offensive line was getting blown up. Even Jansen made a mistake. Point blank, because of their lackluster play they gave up 2 sacks as a starting unit and gave running backs no holes to run. With that said they have some work to do.

RB
Ladell Betts and Rock Cartwright had no room to run. They made the most of what they had which wasn't much. Both backs are more than capable of running when holes are present. With the excecption of one run by Betts, Rock did a better job of running the football. I didn't see Sellers touch the ball at all.

WR
Santana further proved why he is the number 1 by receiveing for roughly 50 yards on 2 catches. ARE, caught one pass for a first down, but the chemistry between he and Campbell needs improvement. Sadly. Brandon Lloyd nor Cooley made a mark on the field. I do not think that Cooley has fallen off though. Cooley just did not have the opportunity.

Defense
While overall they played great , due mostly to London Fletcher, who did drop a clear intercecption; I do have some concerns. Fred Smoot played off of his receiver a little and allowed a big first down catch. the defense also allowed the TE Scaife to run free a little too much during the game. Other than that the D seemed to get to the ball pretty quickly.

Special Teams
Rock Cartwright made a bone headed move to take the ball out of the endzone on the first play of the game, setting the skins up in bad field position that would plague them throughout the first half. Shawn Suisham missed a field goal by hitting the left upright denying Washington a tie in the first half. Suisham also commited a stupid penatly by kicking his first kickoff out of bounds giving the Titans the ball at the 40. The punt coverage team also did not fair well by giving up a couple of big returns. On a positive note, Frost punted the ball very consistently and even forced a fuble on one play. Too bad it went out of bounds and we were unable to recover.

I am not even going to go over the second team offense as they were more lackluster than the first. IMO Brunell should be cut and Collins should have the Backup job. Brunell just does not have that fire anymore and it looks as if he has done nothing in the offseason to maintain his status.

Second and third team D
They looked good because HB Blades picked up where London left off. That play carried over to the 3rd team D wich won the game. Again, TE's were giving them a bit of a problem. Reed Doughty was in perfect position for an intercecption, but dropped it. I am sold on Byron Westbrook and hope that he makes the team as the 5th corner.

3rd Team Offense
Todd Collins for once outshined Brunell and led the offense to its only score. On this rare occaision I belive that he outplayed Brunell. Todd's awareness of this offense was evident in this game. I also believe that more passess should have been compleeted with all 3 QB's in the game as 2nd and 3rd team WR's dropped many passess. Campbell and Brunell should have faired better.

Final Analysis
Unless the Offensive play picks up I do not see the skins winning more than 7 games this year. This week they got lucky, but if you watched the game you realize that there is still alot of work to be done. I understand the injury that we have on the O-line now, but if it doesn't improve when Samuels comes back and Wade doesn't get a handle on things it is going to be a long season.

Sweet! Jimoh's days are numbered.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

I know it's just the first preseason game, but I have some major concerns with the Offense, but the Defense looks like they're back to top 10 form.

The O-line collectively was absolutely horrible 5 Sacks is totally inexcusable, granted Samuels was out, but come on Stephon Heyer looked like he was asleep out there, Todd Wade, Jon Jansen, and Randy Thomas also played pretty poorly. Jason Fabini, and Calvin Armstrong looked pathetic. Let's just pray that none of our starting Offensive Lineman go down because with these backups we are in deep trouble.

The Running game was pretty poor, Betts, and Cartwright looked bad, granted I think this was mostly the O-line's fault because they couldn't move their guys off the ball. Blaylock was was okay, and Mason was alittle above average.

The passing game was okay at best. JC looked average, Brunell looked lost, and I was pleasently surprised with Collins. Moss, and ARE looked pretty good, although I think ARE had a drop. Espy and the backups didn't look great I think Espy had two dropped passes. I was very dissappointed that we didn't get Cooley the ball, but Yoder, and Edwards looked decent.

I think the D-line proved tonight why we didn't make any moves in the draft or FA to pick up a D-lineman. I was extremely impressed with Montgomery, Daniels, Salave'a, and Golston. The backups looked good too Jamaal Green, and Chris Wilson made some good plays, and Lorenzo Alexander was all out hustle when he was in the game.

Linebackers were also impressive. London Fletcher was all over the field tonight, he was a great pickup although he needed to make that INT. Washington, and McIntosh both played well. Marshall had a good game, and I think he is going to be a key to the defense this year. Blades looked impressive. Sartz, Campbell, and Trucks looked Average.

The Safeties were extremely impressive tonight. LaRon Landry looks like the real deal, Sean Taylor was solid when he was out there. Prioleau, and Stoutmire were very impressive, loved their two big hits. Doughty looked solid, but he needed to make that INT towards the end of the game, and not to forget Vernon Fox looked solid as well.

The Conerbacks were on and off tonight. Shawn Springs lookes like he is back to form, Carlos Rogers looked impressive. Fred Smoot didn't look very good, I believe he got beat twice. Macklin looked solid. Ade Jimoh was terrible, and has no business playing CB in the NFL, he needs to stick to Special Teams only. Westbrook, Torrence, and Eubanks were solid.\

Well these are my thoughts after tonights game, I am sure most of you can agree with my observations. Thankfully this is only the first preseason games, and I am sure a lot of these problems can be fixed before the regular season. Nice win, let's get the Steelers next Saturday.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

My thoughts are this.If the o-line looks like this all year they wont be known as the "Dirtbags" , they will be called the "Matadors".

Well in my defense we disn't get too caught up in preseason games last year either and we ended up 5-11 after a 0-4 preseason. The first team showed promise, but the O-line needs to step up. We could not run the football at all.

I agree about Bugel I raised that question last season, I don't believe he's ever really been able to adjust to the new style of aggressive defenses that are being played today. And the fact remains he no longer has the dominant line that can pretty much over come any coaching flaws with brut strength as he did in the 80's.

We don't have a lot of depth at least on the O-line, and what we have starting is a little shaky as well.

I wouldn't be overly concerned right now about the defense, Williams likes to put his defensive players in the worst possible position in the secondary to humble them and force them to work harder by putting them at a disadvantage, when the season starts he will bring the CB's up to the line and bump and run, at least that was the intention this season and part of the reasoning to draft Landry.

Blades looks like a keeper, Mason should get the backup at least ahead of Blaylock.

Brunell? What more needs to be said?

Collins looked good for what ever that is worth at scrub time.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

[quote=Sheriff Gonna Getcha;339260]JC looked pretty good, that is, when he was protected. Granted, he fumbled twice, but both fumbles occurred when pass protection completely broke down. I was happy just to see him get a few throws downfield.

The O-line was dreadful - they couldn't open running lanes, they couldn't pass protect, etc. I was simply shocked by how poorly they performed.

The first team defense looked pretty nice. London Fletcher looked promising. Laron Landry can definately lay the wood. Imagine how they would have looked had Griffin been in.[/quote]


It sounds like I was watching the same game as you. I thought Campbell looked pretty good. Definitely not average from what I've been hearing.

The O-line was awful, but we were working with an entire new left side. First preseason game at that.

We'll be okay.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

I'll add to what Offiss and someone else said about Buges. I'm starting to wonder, and not just because of one preseason game, but it seems he's one step behind when making adjustments and recognizing schemes. This even seemed to be the case going back to '04.

But let's get real, no need for doom and gloom after one preseason game. Afterall, I did pick the Skins to go 10-6!! hahaha

I gree. But if you remember it took us to time to decide if we were going to be a passing team or a running team or a little of both. After we made up our mind, then the offensive line started to click.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

Did Corey Bradford do anything tonight? I saw him take the field for one play.

I was happy to see Justin Hickman out there. He had a nice play there at the end knocking Rattay out of the way and pursuing that fumble.

Campbell looked ok (got to hold on to the ball!); Hoyer looked decent, Wade did not; Collins looked as I expected. Against inferior talent he will always look good because he knows that system so well. I wish Palmer had played some though.

Overall, a win is nice but there's still work to do. I'm glad they didn't come out like gangbusters though. A little humility to start preseason is always a good thing in my opinion.

And I guess the Madden curse has already begun for Vince "Crosby, Stills, Nash, &" Young

No Bradford did not have any receptions tonight, I really don't think he was even in the game for more than a play or two.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

Forgot to mention Heyer. He looked kind of good if you ask me. Good in the sense that he moves like a real deal NFL lineman. Of course he had some big screwups tonight, but you could also really see some raw abilty. He looks like he could add some muscle to that big frame. If he develops we are very lucky to have him as a young backup tackle with upside. Some of those washed up backup vets on our line give me the fear. What a bunch of softies.

I still think our line is a good one, even with Wade. Bugel will reel them in and get them back to form.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

K guys Will i think are OL will step up next week since i think are OL wasn't trying and i fell they don't have to try.The D was good but if Griffin would have started than that DL in the Middle would have came better inn Stopping the Run and better pressure.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

mason is good enough to be our 3rd RB. rock isnt any good, but keep him for special teams, blaylock blows and dee brown didnt even see time.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

We had a pass rush that yielded hurries but no sacks.

Chris Samuels needs to come back soon. Both of the fumbles came from Campbell getting sacked from his blindside.

Defense looks good. Both of our middle LBs had 6+ tackles, which means that the D-Line is occupying the O-line making it easier to get tackles.

Campbell looked good when he had time.

After watching the blind-side sack again, it was not Heyer's assignment, it was the wide-out who failed to chip the blitzing Cornerback. I couldn't see if it was a WR or RB, but whoever was lined up outside of Heyer was at fault, not him, he actually had his guy locked up pretty well.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

So what happened? Judging by the posts we lost 42 - 0.

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

Yeah. We woulda shoulda lost. By first offensive team's performance it was pretty bad. OL was pourous as any 2nd tier team. Primary stunts were fooling Skins OL. Pretty pathetic. Defense looked good. We'll hopefully see a better team fielding next Saturday against the Steelers. Look for a more succesful run attack and better protection for JC. Somehow we found a way to win. Todd Collins had a great drive. Brunell looked totally expendable. Moss looked fantastic. ARE gotta catch the ball. Lloyd didn't play. Westbrook probably got a nod for the the defensive TD. Good to see Stoutmire and Prioleau back. Blades and Fletcher looked good. Rocky McIntosh looks quick and smart. Smoot looks lazy. Week 2 should be better for the offense. If not we might have serious Saunders concerns. 1-0 in preseason is better than 0-1. Winning is the ultimate goal. You can say preseason doesn't matter, but most times it's a direct indication of what is to come.
Let's hope we can look back and say, 'wow that's where it started. last 2 minutes and backups found a way to win!'

Re: Thoughts on Skins vs Titans
 

The O-Line play prevented the offense from getting anything going. Jansen, Wade, and Heyer all looked horrible. Heyer, I don't care about, but the others are a cause for concern. This is suppossed to be the strength of our team.

On the bright side, I thought the defense, especially the front seven looked good. Kedrick Golston is solid, I don't care what anyone says.

They have a lot of work to do. Also, the offense was as bland as last year's preseason. No pre-snap motion. Ran basic running plays on first and second down mostly. This would make me feel better, ecept the O-Line shouldn't look so bad on such basic stuff.

good point on campbell. the most verteran qb will fumble when getting licked from the blindside.

i hope buges will have the group ready next week.

no one mention frosty - or did they. thought he did a good job punting the ball.
