Well, we squeaked by the Fish and in what became a close game because our defense really stinks. Do we have ANY pass rush? Where are our corner backs and safeties? How can you let Joey Harrington walk down the field twice and almost a third time? Embarrassing. The defensive system does not fit our players and the players are not that bad.
As for the offense, it's quite pathetic that we can't score in the first quarter. Maybe because they don't start throwing the ball down the field until the 2nd half. All of these stupid dump off passes and trickery is great but get the ball down field to Coles. Good things happen when you throw the ball down field to this guy. And get Cotchery and McCairins and Dwight more involved. Heck...throw to Baker more and use the tight end like other teams do. We do the same stupid things that we did under the Edwards regime. When it is 3rd down, we don't EVER throw past the 3rd down marker. We throw a pass before that marker and hope we can break a tackle and run for the first down. Ya know what? It AIN'T freggin working. You need 7 yards. Let's try and throw for 8 yards, not 5 yards. It's so aggravating. I love the use of Brad Smith but let's get him more involved. This guy is quick as hell. Heck...give him a series to see what he can do ala Kordell Stewart in his hey day !
And how great is Brad Smith on special teams. It seems like he made EVERY tackle on the KO returner.
Not much really happened yesterday to comment on. It was boring first half following but a fun-sweat-it-out second half. But, in the old days, the game gets tied on a Mare field goal and we lose in OT. Yesterday, he missed. So, maybe the tide is slowly changing.
