Back to the game that we should have won...that was the ugliest 57-yard FG ever but I give Gould credit. I don't think I've seen a line drive FG made from that far. I wish one of our two kickers had that leg.

The RT position is really showing itself to be a problem. Polumbus got abused by Israel Idonje. I'm not worried about Griffin's fumble, he slipped on the field and it was very close to being an incomplete pass because his arm was a split second away from going forward.

Banks...doing it again. Another preseason TD that might convince coaches to keep him. One more good return game and I think he'll make it, even though I've been saying all along he wouldn't.

Bears D looked VERY good. I was impressed. I also think Cutler to Marshall is going to be very dangerous this season...they could be pushing Green Bay for the division.

Here are my game notes:


-Cedric Griffin beat deep by Marshall playing Cover 1 or 3 w/ D.Hall playing FS
- " beat inside on skinny post/slant in the RZ by everyone loves a Jeffery

- Morris nice vision, cutback, and running through contact early +++

- Gettis beat in pass pro on Griff 1st drop back -1
- 2nd series Monty pushed back -1

- 3rd series FUMBLE!
Morris should have checked his blitz pick-up block before going out on his route -1
Davis matched up 1 v 1 w/ Idoneje (sp?) and lost -1
Cooley probably should have at least chipped if not doubled down on Idoneje -1
Griff probably could have audibled the protection to account for #21 blitz from the (L) edge -.5
He's gotta hold on to the ball -1

-Riley juked in the hole by Bush for TD

Last play 1st qtr SACK
- Can Davis get some love? 1 on 1 Peppers holds his own +1
- Gettis & Polumbus beat in pass pro -1,-1, sack

o Where is Madieu? later...
Several solid tackles, a couple 'must' tackles to prevent huge play/TD (when Wilson -1 got beat by Benntt) ++

2nd QTR

Tristan Davis needs to stop dancing and get north-south -1

Crawford nice change of direction to drive on pass and break it up/almost pick +1

Bailey 1st run
LeRib good speed to pull around the edge and lead way to reach 2nd level backers +1

Robinson +++ good route, good adjustment to catch a high pass, good RAC for TD!

Pretty sure he was just saying they were lucky to win with that FG... granted who cares about winning or losing these games.

You've exceeded your quota for smiley faces today.

Matty was correct. Did YOU watch that kick? It was ugly. I was shocked it went through. Gould is the man.


Oh and that dropped pass by Niles...it hit him right on both of his hands. That was not on Griffin in any way.

Correct. At the pro level if the ball hits a receiver in both hands he needs to make the catch. Paul's dropped a ton anyway there's no real defending his hands at this point, but hopefully he improves.
