Bob in STL Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Yeah I know it is early, first preseason game, new coaching staff and all that stuff. • Good first drive mixing runs and short passes. A stupid holding penalty by Stupar killed a 22 yard run to the 3 by Lynch. We salvaged a FG. • Defensive starters stopped the run in the two series that they played. Starting front seven was Edwards, Williams and Stroud. Torbor, Mitchell, Davis, and Ellis. • Pass rush was not there. No QB pressures. Nothing. • Maybin played on 3rd down passing downs. He was swallowed up by rookie Trent Williams. Maybin had a stupid roughing the passer penalty on a 3rd and 6 stop. That kept the skins aliove and they went on to score a TD. • Trent Edwards looked ok on the first drive and bad after that. Pressure on him from the right side led to mistakes and rushed passes. • The OL was bad. They starters from right to left were: Chambers, Corrado Something, Hangartner, Levitre, Meredith. Pass protection was good on the left side and horrid on the right. • On the Edwards interception Kirk Chambers missed his man completely. Edwards was flushed out of the pocket and threw on the run to an open Evans. Evans stopped moving and the DB went for the ball and got the pick. Theisman (the TV analyst) called out Evans for quitting on the play and he was correct. Evans did not go back to the QB, if he had he would have had the reception. • Our 3rd defensive series featured a different set of front 7 and they were very bad as a unit. Also, TSW fan favorite George Wilson missed several tackles in the secondary allowing big gains. • Our offense continued to sputter. Chambers had two false starts and was schooled in pass protection. The starting offense went 3 and out in their third series. • Fourth series and we still had the starting offense in there. We had a 3rd and 15 and Edwards hit Steve Johnson on a catch and run for 14.9 yds. Curiously Gailey lined them up in short yardage formation and did not run a play. Straight from the Dick Jauron book of play calling. We had a chance to practice a meaningful 3rd and inches and we flinched. That hurt. • Spiller had one run for greater than 10 yards and looks very explosive. • Carrington and Troup looked like rookies. • Fitz played the last series and looked lost. • 21-3 at halftime. • As I type this we are getting pummeled in the second half and Theisman just mentioned that the Bills as a team look tired and have no legs. Long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Hansen Forever Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Trent is going to start. Hey the first drive was good. The only reason he looked good in the beginning was the Redskins were just getting started. They got embarassed in their house and then turned the game around.

b stein 22 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Trent is going to start. Hey the first drive was good. i think the penalties helped the most on that drive i think there were two for 15 and 10 yards. That really shortens the field up and they only got a field goal so no not a good drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
