Preseason Game 2 Winners and Losers


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

O-Line outside of Silatolu, Clausell, Gradkowski, and Folkerts. Backup LT is a concern if Matt were to ever go down. But top to bottom the unit looks good. 

Matt Kalil has been a solid surprise; Norwell & Turner have been stellar as always; Ryan is Ryan; Darryl Williams has gotten much better; Moton has been really impressive; Tyler Larsen is as good of a backup center you'll find; Chris Scott is an adequate backup at right guard; Dan France and Van Roten have been solid depth at guard; and Yankey has been solid as well grading out as the top left guard for week one.

And biggest loser today.......the coaching staff

 

I posted in the game thread.  

We havnt watched film on them for a week like we would in the regular season.

BUT we have played them TWICE this week already in scrimmages. And Still making the same mistakes except even worse than the time before.

I get we didn't see film on Taylor their 3rd rounder from this year.  But he ran wide open day 1 this against us.  Then day 2 got even Wider open against us.  And as if we hadn't seen him do it to us in 2 other scrimmages this week, he makes our DBs look lost Again!

 

Kk and Pep pushed through their OL like a sled day 1.  Day 2 much much less their OL looked to do a better job.  Today 3rd time we couldn't hardly get pressure against their 1st string OL (minus the one Pep rush)

Their coaches saw mistakes in the other 2 times we played them this week and adjusted.

 

Us not so much, and this has been a major weakness all along.  We have been among the bottom of the league how adjust coming out after half.  And we clearly are still having a hard time facing the same foe for the 3rd time since Wed.

 

Tenn staff coached circles around us this week.

    • There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years. 
    • All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens
    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
