The week 1 "what the hell?" thread

[BleedBurgundy]

What's with the 8 yard cushion given to receivers? What the hell is with Carlos "Toast" Rogers giving up a TD to a 2nd string tight end? And then getting abused by Chambers in the 4th quarter? WHAT THE HELL?

what the hell was with me thinking I could study instead of listening to/watching the game???

ps....I watched the 4th quarter

I mentioned this in the "Ugly" thread...nothing to do directly with the game...but

WTH was up with Deirdorf and Gumble in the thrid quarter...I've never seen two announcers sniffing a Head Coaches jock the way those two guys were over Cam Cameron...by the time that was over with, you would have thought he was Bill Walsh or something...I mean shy didn't they just come out of the booth and go down on the field and start sucking him off for christsakes...WTH?

On that play Trent Green had like 6 seconds to step back and roll out to the right. We need to pressure him much better on that play. Rogers got sealed behind the huge TE so it really wasn't his fault. Maybe he could have reached around to deflect the pass and risk a penalty.

Chamber was held in check for the most part.

Looking back at the game we need more points.

Chambers was held in check by his hands, not by his coverage. And #22 was on that TE with Green scrambling right, 6 seconds is enough time to put yourself between the receiver and the qb.

You're right. So no pressure or sack would have helped out?

Yes, of course it would have helped. My point was that CR wasn't doing much of a job in man to man on a 2nd string tight end.
