I saw a TE easily handle Anderson while he rushed the passer.

yeah i'd rather have Everett , Apke started out looking good but hasn't the last 2 games. Still a rookie tho

He's just not a good NFL LB, Lacks speed and quickness

Re: Skins V Ravens PS WEEK 4 Thread
 

There is no way after last night that Kelley gets cut. Kelley is basically Gruden's 3rd son. But on top of that he looked like the more complete back and if given holes he can gain yards. I guess that's the basic requirement of an NFL back.

They just need to cut him or move him inside.

Most importantly he doesn't fumble.

Kelley has had a good offseason, he's pretty much done anything the coaches have asked him to do. He gets a bum rap with the fans.

I agree with you 100%. Kelley just keeps getting better. He is not a flashy player but he is very solid. He is a stone cold lock to make the team and he has earned it,

On the other hand, Perine must be hanging on by a thread in the eyes of the coaching staff. He really needed to show that he fixed his fumbling problems and he hasn't done that. I wouldn't be shocked if the Skins brought in yet another back from outside the organization.

They should have played him at ILB from Day 1. Honestly, I wonder if the coaches have inadvertently retarded his career by playing him out of position. I'd love to see him get a chance as an ILB. He might just surprise us all.

For now, he could work at both positions.

Look at the talent on the defense and what we’ve invested. HE BETTER GET IT DONE.

No more excuses[/quote]

for years and it simply never seems to be properly addressed. I miss greg williams :-(

Re: Skins V Ravens PS WEEK 4 Thread
 

I want my team to be deep enough at RB such that neither Perine nor Kelley have a shot at cracking the top 3-4 RBs spots.

But we're not. We have All Day and we have CT. After that, we're stuck with inadequate players. Given the choice between the two, I'd take Kelley over Perine. At least Kelley holds onto the football.

I'm guilty of this.
I'm calling it Alfred Morris Syndrome.
We need better than just a guy starting at RB.

Kelley does everything ok but he should not be a starter.

Chris Thompson is our only game breaker on offense(Hopefully Richardson can step up). Without him and his big plays against the rams and niners, this would've been 5-11 last year.

I hope we keep Kelley and Bibbs to backup AP and CT.

(Haven't finished watching the game yet). The one DB that has been disappointing so far is [B]Adonis Alexander[/B] IMHO. He looks scared of contact.

Re: Skins V Ravens PS WEEK 4 Thread
 

Hard to find any real positives in this game, but since it's all about individual evaluation:

[B]+[/B]

-Stroman
-Settle
-Taylor
-Kelley
-JP Holtz continued to play well at FB, also caught a 2 balls as a TE, nice TD catch
-RB De'Veon Smith looked good late in the game, don't think that's enough to earn a spot, but good for him

[B]-[/B]
-We only have 6 decent Olinemen on the roster
-Adonis Alexander seems to be decent in coverage but couldn't tackle my grandma in a one on one drill
-Hamilton is looking like a bust right now


Sidenote: Don't know what to think about Apke. He's shown how he can turn his physical abilities as a real asset, but tackling seems to be an issue. This could be improved. Not sure he gets cut because they drafted him knowing this would be a project... Could this pick have been better used? Certainly.

I love Apke's potential, but would have LOVED a plug in/potential plug in left guard in the 4th round
