Black&Black
Delivering Smiles
Things I liked:
- The routes. I think we ran two or three drag routes a year under Shula. I saw several last night. I liked the quick screens. I'm hopeful that the vast improvement at OC can mitigate the losses on the offensive line.
- Moton was alright in limited action.
- Aside from 2003, depth at WR might be at an all time organizational high, despite the lack of a true #1. Wright has been terrific all offseason and shined last night. Samuel looked like a different player. DJ showed off his RAC prowess. I'm not 100% convinced Torrey Smith will make the team.
- McCaffrey banging it up the middle at the goal line is pretty exciting.
- Vander Esch
- Doss. I fucking told you. Pay me a salary, Tepper.
- The Carter. I really like The Carter. He's awkward in coverage, but if we can smooth that out a bit, we might have a future starter at sam linebacker.
- The backup quarterbacks were far better in a game than they've been in camp. I want to see it more than once before I stop shaking my fist for DA, but regardless, it's nice to see something positive. Heinicke is the best fit. He appears to have the arm and mobility to operate in this system. If he can develop into a Poor Man's Keenum/Rich Man's Siemien, that would be fine I guess. I'd still expect us to make a trade if something catastrophic happens to Cam.
Things I hated:
- Everything I saw from the defense for 2 1/2 quarters. Just abysmal stuff on all three levels. The starters, the transitional starter/backup unit, and the backups should all be ashamed of themselves. I don't give a shit that it's the first preseason game. You've had an entire offseason to prepare for this, and you go out and make two, below average players look like Drew Brees. Pathetic. I want these losers on the field for three quarters next week as punishment.
- Seymour. Again, I fucking told you. I told you last season. I told you during OTAs. I told you during training camp. And now, I'm telling you again: KEVON SEYMOUR SUCKS. He's not even Worley. He's Melvin White/Josh Thomas/Robert McClain. He's a stopgap, roster filling player. He's had no business working as the incumbent all offseason. Those are valuable reps we could have been giving to Jackson. Pay me a motherfucking salary, Tepper.
- Matt Kalil.
- Having CJ Anderson in the game in the 4th quarter is moronic. If he got hurt, everyone would be acknowledging this. The fact that he didn't get hurt doesn't make it less moronic.
- Gauldin. Learn how to tackle. You can't do it on your heels, boy. You want to be a man? Learn how to fucking tackle. Bend those knees and wrap. Southward or Parms will be happy to take your job if you don't want it.
