Game Balls

Kasay. Of course. 4 bigtime FG, the shortest I believe was the 46 yard game winner.

Keyshawn. 101 total yards. The two early touchdows were big, but his best catch was going up on that last drive and coming down with the ball between two Buc defenders. That was awesome.

Peppers had another huge game. A sack, several pressures, and 7 tackles from him again, and nearly a pick. I don't want to think about how we'd suck without him.

It was nice to see Thomas Davis make a couple of plays for once. No game ball, he was out of position a couple of times still and sucks against lineman, but made some plays.

 

Kasay
K. Johnson

 

Thanks....................oh that one....nevermind.

 

Have to add Smitty. I think he played hurt. He looked no where like the fast Smitty. Still, TB covered him heavily early, before they figured out he really couldnt run. That allowed us to build up the lead. We needed every bit of it.

Gamble, for recovering his confidence, and making the play that got the fast 1st half started.

Foster, for hitting the holes when running between the tackles, and keeping the O running at times, and keeping the D off the field, at times.

Mathis, for no screw ups that I saw, and possibly opening some of those holes for Foster.

Branch, for none of us mentioning him saying, oh, how could he have missed that.

I know I'm going over board. I guess those are honorable mentions.

 

Smitty seemed to be a bit gimpy on one of his last exits from the field.

 

Kasay, Key and Pep in that order.

 

Kasay, definitely.

Key had our two TDs. Can't overlook that, nor Smitty's 112 yards.


no ball -
Jake had a good game, but not spectacular. Just average for him.
Davis was active, sure. Draft and Davis led the team in tackles, which is very interesting considering the first two weeks. I did see Draft get pushed around some, too, and i'm sure Davis did. If you want to game ball a guy on D, Pep did have the only sack and was active out there, but he wasn't much compared to last week. The Kenyatta factor was frighteningly small.

 

They really didn't. TB didn't double team him even one play that I saw, and several times he was matched up on a linebacker, like his 33 yard gain at the start of the second quarter. But he did have an impact and I'd give him a game ball just for getting out there. JK and KJ deserve the most credit, though.


magnus:
Jake had a good game? I know the final stats turned out well, but pretty much everyone was bitching not only about his fumbles but his high throws again.

 

jake had a few go high, but I thought overall he threw with much more accurracy. The final stats reflect that. He threw the ball well.

He didn't protect the ball well. I think most people were bitching mainly about that.

 

He did have a few high ones, but not consistently which is good sort of and I won't blame all his fumbles on just him. And this Seattle/NY game is just UGLY.
