Review of our embarrising performance

[jppaul]

This was bad, but lets distribute the blame: (Yeah I know I misspelled embarrassing)

AJ has to put in some effort there, on that deep pass AJ could have gone and gotten that but instead as has always been the case, he doesn't believe in his hands thus he let it get into his body and thus it was blocked, and on several other plays he could have made Schaub look a little less bad.

On that same thread give Andre Davis more chances all that guy does is make big plays. Daniels was solid but we should have run that screen three more times, they never even got close to shutting that down.

Our O-line didn't look like complete S***, they opened some running lanes except down near the goal line, but that has always been a problem with the zone blocking as the lineman are lighter and are not going to get quite the push that other bigger olines do.

The Defense didn't look all that bad, sure they got pushed around the first half, but they also manufactured two turnovers during that stretch and they were airtight in the second half. Considering they were out there so much and the offense didn't give them crap, they kept us in the game. No big stat pluses but they were solid when it mattered.

Daniels looked good. Special Teams is not as effective as it was last year but they are still an ace up the sleeve at times, Jones punt return.

Slaton gives us something that all of the fans have always known we needed, an elusive scat back/home run hitter, that gives a one two punch. He reminds me of Reggie Bush in space, and as a plus he can also run inside, and as he demonstrated dive for a few first downs. He has a really unique inside running style, one that makes up for his deficiencies in size and strength. He is so shifty that nobody can get him head on and drive him back, he takes the contact and sltihers, through it with spins or dives. I was very impressed.

On that same note what the hell was with that playcalling of run-pass-pass-run from the 1. If they had given it to Slaton or Leach on 4 downs that would have been in.

Like kieth said earlier Kubiak has always had my respect for his playcalling, but boy did he drop the ball, and considering my opinion is in hindsight, take it with a grain of salt. Counting all of those times that we were within the 35 and thinking that Brown is automatic, there were about 15 points in field goals out there, which certainly would have vaulted us into the lead all other things considered. A taking into consideration Schaub's general ineffictiveness, that might have been the smart decision.

Finally, Schaub, you scared little twit. His passes were off, his timing was worthless, and he looked scared. I am still completely behind him for now, but jeez he has looked like absolute crap for these first two games, his passes were underthrown or overthrown, but rarely right on target. If he doesn't shape up in two games Im leading the cheer for Rosie.
