our 3rd string secondary is complete crap, QBs all sucked tonight...
scott and simon did well, as did smoot, and the starting O-line held the panthers off well. Taylor got some good hits, and he's really fast... no picks, but he definately showed up to play. Rock was bad early, but made up for it later in the game. Lemons (59) played very well for his limited time... OUR 1st DEFENSE CAN HOLD THE RUN... they weren't blitzing like crazy this game, and they were able to get 3 stops when the panthers were 3 yards off the goal line... lots of stuffing the runner, but part of that may be a crapper panthers O-line run support... stempke, hall, and kimrin all kicked, and all looked fine (kimrin squibs punts a lot though). |

Theres no way Portis is a negative. He ran 5 times, proboly the same little dive or counter.

backup d lineman looked good, at least Greg White and Ron Warner did. Gari Scot has potential, just needs to finish his routes.

I bet Jones has a better season then Samuels when all is said and done. As big as Samuels is he should be kicking ass! I think he is over rated. He needs to get mean! Put some people on their ass. All I heard last season was the O attack is to passive because of the pass blocking all the time. Well now it's time to run and he still is passive! I hope Joe Bugel can make me wrong about Samuels be cause he cost TWO first round picks to get him!

As far as Portis is concerned -- it seems that Gibbs isn't running anything allowing him to get to the outside and really use his speed. I only listened to the first half on radio, but that's what it sounded like. I think that Gibbs just knows it's preseason, and doesn't want to show his hand until week one.
The QB play so far is a little troubling though. |

Maybe I shouldn't give Portis a negative but he does seems to beat the lineman to the point of attack in the counter trey. One carry shouldn't count as this is the 1st play of the game that Ramsey fumbled the snap. He picked it up and somehow got it to Portis who took it for a yard or two. A broken play should not count. They ran 2 basic plays that I saw, counter trey and the gut run. Mostly gut runs which is purely vanilla football.

the O is aenemic because of the number of different plays they're running (seems like 1 pass, 1 run)... you can't water down a football gameplan much more than that... QB'ing when the defensive memorizes both of all two of your awesome plays is really tough.
I bet they all start looking a lot better at tampa... |

fumbling snaps and throwing bad INTs is NOwhere on the playbook...
