Winners and Losers from Baltimore game

[Sam Mills Fan]

Winners

Mike Goodson: Workhorse tonight. Some great running, some great pass blocking...at times, a SICK catch....continues to impress. Decent on kickoff returns as well.

Steve Smith: Great to see him back. He looks like Superman as usual.

Tyler Brayton: Had some nice pressure at times.

Everette Brown: Ditto. Plus he did more than just spin like a top.

Kenny Moore: Looks like not only will he make the team, he's going to be the slot receiver. Good for him, he looks uber-comfortable on the field.

CJ Wilson: Had some solid coverage at times.

Losers

Chris Gamble: Remember that game where Fred Smoot was destroyed by #89? Gamble looked like Smoot tonight, although Flacco had an eternity to throw.

Ryne Robinson: I don't think he played tonight even though he's not injured as far as I know. He's gone.

Dwayne Jarrett: Leapfrogged by Moore. Ouch.

Quinton Teal: Didn't look good at all. Blown coverages and tackles.

Landon Johnson: Looked slow and very bad.

Chris Harris: Added to the misery of the secondary with some more blown coverages and missed tackles.

Damione Lewis: No pressure generated at all.

=======================================

Also, Dan Connor was okay, but didn't look nearly as good as a starter. It was good to see Peppers at least show up on a few plays as well and I think Nikki Hayden Panettiere continues to improve where she's not such a game-blowing liability. She's still bad, but at least you can think about letting her see the field during the regular season at times now.

Josh McCown did...pretty well. Made sime nice throws and had a pretty good game overall. I think he deserves some props tonight.

[PantherBrew]

I disagree about Jake being a loser. I would say he was better than "wasnt horrible". I'd say he was decent.

With Peppers typical lackluster preseason play. He seemed to have a good motor tonight, and really hustled and put some pressure on the QB.

Jake did good, I guess a 100+ QB rating qualifies as bad around here. Quit whining.

Kenneth Moore is a winner too. He is looking like our no.3 right now.

[Cyberjag]

I would remove Jake and Dan Connor from the losers, and add Ron Meeks and Jeff Davidson. If this represented game-planning, we're in for a loooooong season.

Jake was the reason we couldn't convert any third downs. He did nothing of note. We scored a total of 3 points and converted a total of 0 third downs with him in there.

Winner: Mike Goodson - Watch out Stewart, someone is trying to take your job.

Loser: Dwayne Jarrett - Officially Keary Colbert v2.0

Oh and I forgot Mike Morgan, that god-awful play-by-play guy too. He's terribad.

And as much as I like Mike Rucker, he isn't fit for the announcing booth at all.

How about giving the offensive line some love? I thought they gave Jake plenty of time and blocked well enough for Goodson to make some plays. This was a very good Baltimore defense and I think the offense played pretty well.

With that said the biggest loser is the defense. They can't tackle, they don't generate much pressure with the front four, they don't cause turnovers (1st team defense has yet to get a turnover), and they are VERY poorly coached. Meeks is a tool and this should be his only season with the panthers, I think Fox should start calling the plays or something, he is terrible. And I'm glad Gamble thinks he should shadow the best receiver because he got absolutely abused tonight. They were picking on our BEST defensive back and made him look silly. The lack of pass rush didn't help matters but geez. Oh and teams will throw to the backs over the middle ALL year long if we continue to let them run around completely uncovered. I don't care that it is preseason, we look like a bottom 5 defense right now, if we play like this we won't win 8 games and I promise DeAngelo won't gain more than 900 yards because we will be behind in every game.

The defense looked crappy, particularly the secondary. I gotta add Moose and Kasay to the "winners" list, though.

Jake was the reason we couldn't convert any third downs. He did nothing of note. We scored a total of 3 points and converted a total of 0 third downs with him in there.

Jake went 11-16 for 180 yards. If you think he was the reason we lost then you're hopelessly biased.

I thought Moose wasn't going to catch one at all tonight...
