Message: [QUOTE="0.2 YNdeeR, post: 5150228, member: 8125"] I expect some changes on D. On the interior DL, Watson showed out. Not just tipped passes, but he and tank were the only interior DL's to get [edit] consistent penetration. I hope they start and play the lion's share of the snaps against GT. Behind the line, our LB's were at best mediocre. Can't fault MacDonald too much as he has some stops. But the good plays were overshadowed by missed tackles, overpursuit and poor formation adjustments. In the backfield, our soft zone was pillow soft. Owen had a field day and had no trouble running by our coverage including Duce, Cinco, Grant and a bunch of others. I thought Buxton looked good, and Barnes played well the second half. Barron did not play like the leader I know he can be. Mental errors, penalties, bad angles, you name it. He has to elevate his game for us to have success in conference. ST KO returns were disappointing. Lots of supposed top line players just jogging around, not blocking, watching the ball carrier, etc. Have to be changes here for MJ to get launched. KO coverage and FG's seemed pretty good. Stonehouse had an excellent game. Receivers were mostly what we expected, in a good way. OG had an amazing game and is a lethal weapon. Haynes is the real deal. Pena is finally reaching his potential and wreaked havoc on the Ohio secondary. And lastly, Meeks made a case to start with good blocking and great concentration on the ball. Unfortunately Hatcher reverted to old habits. [edit] Failure to come back for the ball, letting a guy get an INT next to him .. he has a tendency to give up on plays where the ball isn't perfectly thrown. Can't have that, no matter how good he looked in practice. [/QUOTE]
