    Jul. 25 Game Notes

    -who's this new guy? He wears 39, I've never seen him make a play this season but he made a few last night. He got involved in run stopping, and as a spy Augie covered the field sideline to sideline (only watched first 3 quarters, not sure how the 4th Q went)....I was shocked. Hopefully he can keep it up next week.

    -McCarty had a great game. He's always a good blocker, but he was breaking tackles and had the real extra effort, we need more guys making efforts like that.

    -I've been defending Brock Ralph, saying that he has been open and we just haven't been throwing to him. Well, I see why...make a play on the ball every once in a while Brock, sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty or take a hit.

    -Ray didn't have the percentage he usually does, but this is the downside to his new philosophy. We took shots deep and that gets a QB out of his rhythm, hence a few overthrows on easy passes. I'm not worried, he still took us down the field a few times and played well despite.

    -Gotta hand it to Bradley. I don't like the hit on Tucker, but that stuff happens in football, Tucker ducked and took a bad hit to the head. I really hope all that stuff is precautionary and that Tucker won't miss a game. Regardless, Bradley covered him well the whole game.

    -Dline was great.Guillory stepped right in and performed better than Perry IMO. Everybody played well though, Murphy was trying some swim moves and more stuff to try and get away from his blocker, Davis continues to play great, and even Clutts was making plays. I'm really starting to like Clutts. He plays special teams, DE, LB, and does well at all of them.

    -We played a poor group of receivers, but we played better, and a confidence boost is good to help the secondary to gel. He play some great receivers the next couple weeks, so they'll have to get better.

    -Oline played good, not great. Armstrong is a real keeper, and they had a few breakdowns, but nothing serious and from the sounds of it they opened some nice run lanes in the 4th. (Wish I would have PVR'd it)

    -I really don't think DM is calling the plays on offense. Sure, we still have very little run game, and the same type of run plays. But the offense just has a new feel to it. The players have the same emotion and tendencies because of being in the Maciocia offense for the last few seasons, but it's starting to change....it's not just because we won, I felt it as well during our losses.

    -Defense: how cow! a DB blitz! We blitzed a lot during the game, and it worked, let's see some more of that next week.

    Romero has also been a very good addition to this D-Line. Stuffed Lumsden and sacked Printers right off the bat for us.
    Campbell is a playmaker when the ball is thrown his way. He is the perfect guy for those underneath crossers as he has speed to burn.
    Time to put Challenger in and give him a shot instead of Ralph.
    We have two very, very good OLB in Shabazz and Garrett.
    All Goose needs is time to grow into his role as a leader and playmaker on this defence before he becomes more noticeable. He's making strides.
    Althought Rodriguez had a big game and Younger was the guy covering him I was happy with Younger's play. In all plays he was step for step with Prachae and when Rodriguez got those deep balls it was from broken/scrambling plays.

    We will beat BC next week. And Ray will be back at his top notch form.

      We had a misdirection run play where we swept right on short yardage, a fake punt run and a draw play. I almost had a heart attack when I saw these plays!

      A big difference this year, is more receivers are getting more YAC yards. We have a better run attack and more deep throws. The d-line is coming together. A sore spot is the play of Brock Ralph and Jordan Younger.

      THis team can beat anybody, they have the talent, but it all depends which day they are motivated to do so.

        Very Unimpressed with Fridays game...

        Why is almost every bloody pass into the endzone a corner type route? Try something different ffs. If I can notice the tendancies of him constantly throwing the corner route stuff, then every other bloody team has to.

        I'm getting pretty sick of the constant corner route passes into the endzone. 1/10 work. THROW SOMETHING ELSE.


        Still would like to see more running - but at least its a step in the right direction.

        Ray - What is wrong with him... when was the last time you could say he had 2 back to back games in which he performed relatively bad? Is there a underlying injury we dont know about? 2 bad games back to back.. not the typical Ray we are acustom to seeing...


        Red zone performance... I think i've touched on this enough... it just plain out SUCKS.

        Ralph Bad game... gotta work for the catches....

        Kp8 After Tucker went down KP8 massively stepped up

        Dline - 'bout freaking time

        Secondary did ok... still some issues...


        We need a killer instinct.. there is no bloody way in the first half we should have only had , what 6 pts ? We should have been up by 20 at least... With how the D was playing , if the offense was actually alive we would have been steam rolling them.

        IMO we have big concerns with our offense... Ray's looked "bad" for 2 straight games... and that isn't normal.. even though history has shown he does have probs againt Crehan (sp) ran defences. But still I'm starting to wonder...

        So use to seeing high completetion throws and like 22/26 throws, but now its less and less.. and he did miss a fair amount of throws last night - and there where some drops too...



        BC will be a good test.... If Ray is off like he has been for the last 2 games, BC will have a field day , as I think their secondary is the best and most dangerous in the league. and How will we do stopping Simon..

          As I've said before Ray is back on his home turf next week a place where he loves to play and always plays well. He will be back to his old form next Thursday.
          Really nice to see Kamau get alot more involved in the offence.
          BC's secondary is about equal to TO's talent wise. And if we gameplan like we did in our win against TO at home Ray should be hitting his receivers at a completion rate that will make you all happy.

          And as for how we cover Simon. Jason Goss can cover any receiver in this league.
          That is all.

            We're going to have to put them away early, if we hope to win.

            In all of B.C.'s games this year, Jarious Jackson has started very slowly, but seems to come on like gang busters in the second half. And, I don't have to tell anyone here the second half has been our achilles heel this year.

              Good points, but regarding the bolded, WATCH THE GAME!!!! The TV cameras zoom in on him ALL THE TIME calling the plays in from the sideline. There is absolutely no question.

                Numberz's reply will be that he's merely signalling them in.

                Obviously DM is calling the plays. Anyone thinking otherwise is seriously misguided (I'm looking at you Carson). I think KP even stated a few days ago that DM is calling the plays.

                  Well, last night certainly looked like a DM offense. Dink and dunk. Three yard passes when we need 10 and hope the receiver gets the YAC yards. Insisting on throwing over the middle, even when it's covered like a blanket. Trying to force it in there. Virtually no running plays to speak of - until we were in a position that we had to kill some clock, then nothing but running plays, , etc., etc., etc..

                    If Worman is calling the plays, DM would be signaling them in. If DM was calling the plays, DM would be signaling them in. It's a moot point.

                    That said, it still may be possible that DM is calling the plays. The offense feels different, but perhaps it is just because Ricky is throwing to the deep patterns instead of dumping it to the short ones. Perhaps its because the o-line is giving him more time to make the downfield reads. Whatever it is, it's different, and I like it.

                    However, I still hate handing the ball off 5 yards deep, and I hate how our RBs never attack the defense on their routes, they always just drift out onto the flats. I'd like to see our RBs attack the middle of the field, and then perhaps some of our receivers could sit in the flats every once in a while. It would give opposition halfbacks something to think about, rather than knowing that our receivers will be going downfield, it shortens the field for them and simplifies it for the defender because he has to focus on less players that would be potentially coming into his zone.

                          It wasn't a great game but I'll take the win. Two key positives for me were:
                          1. 8 sacks - we seemed to control the line of scrimmage on D for most of the game. Casey didn't want to be on the field after the first couple sacks and it showed - good job guys.
                          2. KP stepping it up - The passing game struggled early on, Kamau included. After Tucker went down, we needed someone to get the team back on track and focused, and Peterson showed some true leadership and intensity out there. Way to go KP!
                          Back to backs against the Lions upcoming, should be some good football.
                          Hope, at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are

                            KP was great as the new go to guy. He dropped a couple but then all receivers do that. It would be interesting to know who plays in place of Tucker full time. Ralph? shudder ...

                              I suspect Campbell becomes an every down player and Nowacki becomes the 5th receiver. And perhaps Damien Anderson finds himself back on the roster.
