Winners and Losers from Baltimore game


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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 get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
