    Break down Trent's throws.

    Since there's a big debate on Trent's performance, I'm wondering what everyone saw in his 5 throw attempts that made them feel good / bad?

     

    Here's what I saw on the passes:

     

    1: Beautiful first down conversion on third down, put the ball where only Parrish could get it

    2: Throw to Schouman in the end zone, looked like clear pass interference to me, Schouman was picked and knocked off his route, which would have put him right where the ball was thrown to (has anyone else watched this play again?). Doesn't really matter, it wasn't called that way, incomplete pass

    3: Looks like Hardy ran the wrong route (that's how they called it on tv). Regardless, clear miscommunication, incomplete pass

    4: Through Schouman's hands, would have only been for a couple yards. Dropped, incomplete

    5: Batted down at the los, this happens to the best of 'em, just ask Flutie. Incomplete.

     

    I'm just not sure how people are judging Edwards off of that limited amount of playing time. And for the record I'm glad that Losman had a solid game! We're going to need both of these guys this season...

     

    The thing that's more of a concern to me is that the O doesn't have all of the shifts and movements and positions down. This is the first pre-season game, let's hope they can go back and correct the mistakes and clear up the confusion before the season starts.

    A couple other thoughts:

     

    - The starting O needs to figure out the shifts and learn who's supposed to be where

    - McCargo = McCarSLOW

    - McKelvin needs to play with a little more instinct, let loose and let 'er rip...

     

    Overall I don't think this was an awful game for us. There's a lot to work on, but as has been stated it's preseason game 1 - NOW's when we work this stuff out!

    First D series:

     

    - First play, Stroud gets a little push, James should have seen Randel El slip out...

     

    - Stroud and the entire line get pushed sideways, the D flows to the ball, Poz knives in and makes a nice tackle for a one yard loss

     

    - 3rd and 4, good push by the D line, Campbell just stepped up and made the throw; Corner blew the coverage and lets the receiver (S. Moss) get position, Pos makes the tackle

     

    - 1st down, Stroud stood up at the line, the right side gets some push; Youboty with a quick solid tackle

     

    - Stroud double-teamed and pushed back about 8 yards, D line got handled

     

    - 3rd and 2, quick play, no pass rush, ball is tipped by Williams (I think)

    I'm just rewatching the first series (I <3 NFLN + DVR); some thoughts:

     

    - The right side of that line needs work. Chambers had a false start and was getting pushed around as was Butler. What's say we move Langston back to the right and get Peters in at left?

     

    - Marshawn runs *so* strong, he's going to have a big year

     

    - Trent's throw to Parrish was perfect; only Roscoe had a shot at it and he made a great grab

     

    - On the sweep to the left, Fowler just needed to get out there a bit more and Marshawn would have been in the second level

     

    - The throw to Schouman, I'm not sure how this wasn't pass interference. He's being held (progress impeded) by the SS 37 Doughty and 53 Marcus Washington. He's being blocked by Washington, then is picked and knocked off his route in the end zone , 9 yards from the los. wtf?

     

    - Trent is definitely directing traffic out there, lots of telling guys to more or stay.

     

    - Throw to Hardy, clearly a missed route. It was still a 5 yard throw on 3rd and 6?

     

    - Hey, Lindell can kick extra points! Shoulda gone for it...
