Winners and Losers from Miami game


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

Winners

- James Anderson: He's had a fantastic preseason and continues to be all over the ball carrier.

- DeAngelo Williams: Because of the craptastic line play he didn't have much to work with, but he showed once again why he's the best back in the game on his highlight TD.

- Dan Connor: Similar to Anderson, he FLEW to where the ball was.

- Dante Rosario: Very active tonight. Nice blocks, nice routes, nice catches.

- Jake Delhomme: He wasn't spectacular, but he was average-to-good, which is the best you can hope for from him.

- Kenny Moore: Continues to impress. He looks much more comfortable out there than Jarrett who's been with the team for a while now.

- Everette Brown: Had a great sack, forced fumble where he flew by his guy.

- Captain Munnerlyn: Had some good coverage, good pressure on the QB, great punt return. Needs to work on holding on to the ball though.

Losers

- Secondary: They bumbled and stumbled their way through the night. Breakdowns in coverage and *everyone* missed at least one tackle I think. Godfrey looked horrible when he was in.

- Offensive line: These guys were wretched tonight. Geoff Schwartz looked especially bad similar to last week. I hope he gets cut.

- Ryne Robinson: It looks like he's being phased out. He doesn't have the return spot secured at all and his fumble might spell his doom.

- Julius Peppers/Dwayne Jarrett: Lots are expected from these two this year and they kept up their very lackluster preseason play.

- Nick Hayden: Well, at least he had SOME penetration tonight. He was just regular bad tonight instead of apocalyptically bad like last week.

- Josh McCown: Poor throws, lack of field awareness when he ran backwards into the end zone and fumbled.

Run stopping looked a lot better tonight too. Muched improved over the NY game.

Lehman also made sure people knew where he was plenty of times on the field.

Decori Birmingham showed his worth, but I still don't think there is a way he makes the roster.

Also, the crap line play was because they were stuffing 8 or 9 guys in the box on almost every play in the first half. We kept running, they kept stuffing. Expect a lot of that this year.

Dwayne Jarrett...were was he??

E.brown still did the spin move and it did not work. The run D was better when Favorite was is.but we still need a DT

and our ENTIRE oline needs to do better with the blitz from the 3-4..the 1string looked lost at times.

Was he ever around?

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
