This has to be fast. I have a basketball game to watch shortly.
I had a family reunion this afternoon, and so while I was able to watch most of the game, there was no sound, and I was sometimes confused by what the hell is going on.
Quick thoughts:
The OL wasn’t good but wasn’t awful either. There were some holes on running plays and sometimes Rickie had time to throw. Washington got,so,e PT and appeared to be a major step up. Hope he starts soon.
Still way too many holds. Our WRs and TEs are guilty way too often. Cook and Villari with unforced mental errors to cost us a TD early. Ugh.
Special teams were again shaky. They just don’t look well coached. Ever. What is Kerr doing? Run backwards with the ball10 yards and then fumble it. What the hell? Kore I’ll advised KO returns that start our already inept offense in a major hole.
Am I crazy or was that a terrible call when we appeared to down the ball inside the 1 yard line and the refs called a touchback?
On that one crazy drive we had late in the first half, we made a first down on 3rd and 1 by a full yard. Bad enough that call was blown but how did they blow the review as well? Is there a rational explanation? Am I just said insane? The mark on 4th and 1 was questionable but perhaps correct. No way on 3rd. That drove a q0 point swing in the score of the game at halftime. A GT catch on the sideline also looked to be OB but the review somehow missed that the WR’s had was OB. At least I thought it was.
You can see why Ricky starts. There are times when he sits in the pocket, sees the field and makes a strong accurate, deep throw. He has the ability to turn a broken play into a first down using his legs. He has the ability. No question. But then he makes a terrible throw to a player who is wide open with plenty of time. It’s gotta be maddening to coach him. We all know it’s maddening to watch him play.
Thought Willis looked good running it and catching it. Young Hill got a few carries and was impressive. Love his potential. I wonder if that helped light a fire under Yasim’s butt? I hope we give Hill more carries and Nixon less carries. You’ve got to give the ball to your best players. That gives us the best chance to win.
Cook, Gill and JRS are legit (though I wish JRS would get more targets). I think there is a big drop off from them to.the backup WRs. Williams was stinking it up before he got hurt and Daniels is doing more of the same replacing him. E Ross and Hornsby have struggled to date as well. Maybe Boobie can set up. Good to see him get a catch today.
I think KMG got his first serious PT replacing an injured Bryant and I thought the kid did okay. Something to build on.
UNC looked very good on defense today. Unless something crazy happens,we are going to have a hell of a time getting more than 14 points against them. I hope our defense and special teams play really well or we are all gonna end up with rocks for Halloween.
