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.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
