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?

I think it was to challenge Randle El for the number two spot

You could say the same for the Dolphins...If they would have caught half of their dropped passes.

Hey, no question we were the more physical team, but you've got to put up more than 13 pts. Like i said though, only the 1st game.

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?

What the hell J. Campbell?

He didn't get much help from Moss who was killing drives with those drops but Campbell was not sharp. He sailed a bunch of balls and missed open receivers. The first pass of the season a bad read and the Skins are very very lucky to have won that game.

What the hell Defense?

You guys looked awesome and we just need to catch those picks! Rocky looked absolutely unreal and its hard for me to beleive that he shouldn't have started last year.

With the defense much improved I'm feeling good about the year. Our offense will come along and 400 yards of total offense aint that shabby. Especially when you consider the drops and missed passes.......

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.
