I Was impressed!!!

[Jay Schroeder]

I'm happy about everything the first team o and d did except obviously for the play of Hall.
This has me extremely worried. I'm envisioning teams exploiting this glaring weakness all season now.
Seems like a team with any speed/size at wideout can just run shotgun, spread the field and exploit Hall...
I mean I know its Ratio Randy, dude is a monster, second best wideout in the game but that was horrible.
What do you guys think?

Well you also have to add it is also Brady tossing him the ball. If I'm correct on the second TD Hall was in position it was that Moss went up and made the play.

Agreed

I'm just worried about teams negating any pass rush with the shotgun spread offense and burning our corners.
Like someone said earlier I hope hall gets more safety help over the top on certain receivers.
Just seems like a weakness that teams will notice and expose. I don't see anyone running up the middle on us, but teams with certain personnel will give us fits, I can already see it happening.
Hopefully our offense can contribute

No, Hall stayed with him, but Moss made a move in the route and got inside of Hall. There was no way Hall could reach the ball or get through Moss. Great in-route move by Moss, I have to admit it. But, it doesn't make me worry about Hall's coverage...most CBs have trouble covering Moss. Hall stayed with him speed-wise, but just got beat by a nice move, a smart move.

Yeah I hear you, if he hadn't gotten beat twice like that I wouldnt be worried...

I dont know what the safety was doing, but I hope he wasnt playing the run on the Pats...

CB Freddie Smoot started on the other side in place of injured C. Rogers. The safeties were helping Smoot over the top.
It is preseason and they probably wanted to test and see if Hall could handle Moss in man coverage. Not many Cb's in the NFL can single cover Randy Moss. The problem is the Pats have Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Joey Galloway, with Brady throwing it to them. Who do you double? Moss will be doubled next time.
I do see a problem with our depth at CB and few other positions. Barnes and Tryon are young and can not be counted on right now.

He didn't get beat for both touchdowns. The first one was on him because he bit on a double move and Randy got position. I'm actually encouraged that he got deeked by Moss and stayed in the shot, much less staying in the best position he could.

The second touchdown, however, looked like zone. Regardless, it was Landry that Moss ran by on the second TD.

I need to go back and look at it, for some reason I thought it was Hall playing man on Moss both tds and getting burnt..
