My thoughts are that the pass rush has to be more consistent and the pass coverage NEEDS to get better, no ifs ands or buts.
Amazing to see Schaub throw for 497 after getting beat the hell up all game. He did miss a ton of throws though, which is worrisome. Dude could have had like 550 yards.
Didn't use Arian too much, especially after they adjusted to the run in the second half, but I still liked what I saw from him. Hard runner, had some nice bursts.
What can we say about Walter and Andre? Absolutely nothing. Saviors.
I love the heart we showed. 27-10 (screw that score, btw) and we don't give up. It's maturation in a way, but I'd prefer to not see the pattern of getting down and having to claw back in. We've got to realize that we're good, and we shouldn't have to dick around like this.
Love the displays by Pollard (blocked FG has to be the play of the game, even over Andre's TD), DeMeco, and Mario (second half, anyway). Not surprisingly the anchors of the D. Can't wait to see Cushing back in.
I'd like to see Owen Daniels used a bit more, but I suppose he's still working his way back into the groove of things. I'm sure it'll come soon. I would also like to see Slaton given a shot in the receiving game. His KR skill is freakin' horrendous.
About the decision to punt, well, I'm still not sure I liked it (even though it worked out) but I guess I understand it. I was more worried about the decision to go with the 3rd and 4 instead of the 4th and inches. The 3rd and 4 was BARELY a catch, phew.
Antonio Smith does some really stupid stuff sometimes. REALLY stupid.
