Bigger disappointment?

Alvin#40 · 09-12-2006, 02:33 AM

D-line was huge dissapointment tonight. Carlos had a couple opportunities to step up and make a play, but he did not. Look back for the ball, and on the pass defended i thought he could have gotten both hands up and made the pick easily. Guess he has lost some confidence. Looks like our secondary is confused with some coverages. And another thought,(and just a thought) with Arch's preseason performance, i dont think GW has confidence in his coverage ability just yet. He is keeping Sean back and letting Arch run support. Hmmm. We need Sean up there, and Pearson's Injury may cost us a few more poor performances.
As far as offense goes, to be HONEST, i was quite pleased. Sure Brunell had a few throw aways, but come on people, close game = field position. I am SO relieved about our offense. I know we dont really have a few weeks, but if we can get to week 6 at 2-3 or 3-2 I believe the offense will start ROLLIN. HAIL SKINS, WEEK 1, NEW OFFENSIVE SYSTEM, sorry guys, I'm still liking this team!!!!!

Like Wilbon said in today's paper, if you told me the skins only score 16 points I still say they win. The D just had no urgency. Minn wanted it more than the skins did.

Biggest disappointment is reading this about our placekicker at the game's most critical point:

"I didn't think I was going on yet," Hall said. "I didn't really know what was happening."
Coaches motioned Hall onto the field and, as he jogged onto the grass, he tried to sort out the details of the game. He thought it was third down, not fourth. He felt unsure exactly how much time remained. He stepped behind holder Derrick Frost and cleared his mind. He felt he was ready. Then he booted the ball -- "It felt clean," he said -- and watched it sail left.

The defense was a big disappointment. However we have 6 new people on the defense. I think the defense will come along. Remember we were one dropped pass and one bad penalty away from a victory. Evan then if ARE makes the first down on the last drive we still win.

The offense look better than it did in the preseason but what happened to Betts. It looked like he lost a step to me. He was always one step from breaking. I liked the sweep play but I don’t understand why we keep running it with Betts. Why didn’t we run it more with Portis?

Also where was Cooley, Patten, or Lloyd? I don’t remember Brunell even throwing to Patten.
