Game # 2- The Good, Bad and Ugly

I know there will be plenty of things I missed.

This is a day the Haters will relish. BUT it's a long season and we will prevail.



The GOOD:

Very, Very little.

2nd half adjustments were good but not good enough

Going for it on 4th downs

Pinnion

Acker – good coverage but was outplayed by Brown

Patton played well

Dawson

Laser throw by Kap to Torry Smith hitting him in stride Best Play of the Day

Mike Davis

The BAD:

Hyde's ball control. More than just the fumble. He seems to let the ball go very quickly after he's tackled. One day, it may be ruled a fumble

The Coaching in the 1st half was VERY Poor! In all phases - Offense, Defense and ST.

Our Pass Rush not good at all. I know DeCastro is excellent and was a draft crush of mine BUT we our pass rush was weak at best.

Run Blocking – it wasn't good today.

Drops

The UGLY:

Pass Protection – Vomit worthy

Secondary coaching and play – Why didn't Wilhoite get ant Safety help

I don't think Davis was very good

If this happens again next week I think we are officially screwed.

Lol there was nothing good from Acker

Can I sell my tickets for cards game? I didn't watch the first half but guess I didn't need to waste my time. Every time I'd check score Pittsburgh scored again. Did everyone take the day off on D or what?

Looked like the Washington Generals out there on pass defense

Pinnion? Why? I'm not asking that rudely, but IMO he's been rather unimpressive. I'll give him credit for keeping the ball out of Browns hands, but it seemed most of his punts were around 40 yards.

Eric Pears, makes me miss Kwamie Harris! Oh, thats the bad.....

I would put Reid under ugly. Wow he was absolutely lost out there and taking awful angles
Pass rush was ugly as well.

Good:
- Team didn't pack it in for the 2nd half
- Kap's accuracy and decisiveness when given time

Bad:
- No pressure when rushing 4
- Blitzes not getting home
- Safety play

Ugly:
- Martin/Devey/Pears
- 3rd down defense
- Drive killing mistakes in the first half (penalties, key dropped passes)
- Acker versus ABrown

Yeah. What did Acker do that was good? Make the tackle?

This, can't say he did a good job when the dude he was on most of the game had 195 yards receiving.

Good
Kap was incredibly impressive. he still had command of the offense. When they realized he should have the ball in his hands the offense was much better. he got into a great rhythm and it carried throughout. he kept his head up in the 2nd half and was seen encouraging the team even when the game was out of reach.

Bad
Offensive coaching. Get out of the run oriented offense sooner, spread them out and test them.
Defensive coaching. The scheme this week was completely wrong. It happens. Needed way more awareness and needed to make sure we took away everything over the top. Take away everything over the top and make sure that they have to dink and dunk. Our run defense was actually really good. We did good on 1st and 2nd down but 3rd down shot plays killed us all game.
Yes Williams scored 3 touchdowns but they were all close range they didn't run the ball down the field and they usually got stopped on 1st and 2nd down.


Defense didn't bring it today. they need to check themselves.

the entire secondary was bad

I kinda think culliver would've been able to cover brown much better if he were still here.

On a side note the offensive line looked horrendous, even staley.
