NextYearGuys Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) I'll start off with the positive shout outs: 1. Sammy. Played so well today and was easily the best player on offense for us. This guy is gonna be (and already is) very good. 2. Chris Hogan. Made some clutch catches after his early fumble, which isn't easy to do from a confidence standpoint. And that catch to set up the game winner. I nearly cried tears of joy. 3. Kyle Orton. Looks far and away better than EJ. He's consistent and, while not very athletic, drops some dimes for our wideouts. I love his poise. A true vet. 4. Boobie Dixon. He really stepped up when Fred and CJ went down. Love his heart and all-out attitude. Well wishes for CJ and Fred. Hope they get healthy soon. 5. Leodis. Had some questionable coverage issues today, but he had 2 picks that really helped us out. 6. Marcell Dareus. This guy is an absolute monster. I don't even have to say anything, he just balled out today. Now for the less positive ones: 1. Oline. They looked very poor today. Constant pressure on Orton. This unit looks very sketchy at the moment. 2. Nate Hackett. He had some nice play calls, I'll give him that. But he also had some very poor ones. You NEED consistency in the NFL to consistently win. Also, I saw a few screens to Boobie D today, why don't any of those go to CJ when he's in or to Sammy? It blows my mind. 3. Doug Marrone. He looked like a lost child today. He seemed very confused and uninspired. Worrisome. 4. Aaron Williams. His tackling was atrocious to say the least. Absolutely man handled on 2 separate occasions. He needs to be better than that. 5. Stephon Gilmore. Got beat in coverage several times and lost his cool with Greg Jennings. He needs to be more mature there. I really hope he starts to improve... 6. Turnovers and 3rd down D. Too many turnovers. They will kill us. Also giving up those long 3rd downs several times. Those WILL be killer against better teams. We need to shore that up on the coaches' and players' sides. Comments: Very happy that we pulled out a win today. Sammy is a beast and I still don't like Hackett, he has no idea how to use all of our weapons. Robert Woods needs the ball more, not sure whose fault that is. Pass defense is terrifying right now, we need to shore it up quick. Run defense is solid though (it's like the exact opposite of last year). All in all, we are above .500 and I'm loving that. Bring on the Jets. Go Bills!!!!! Edited October 19, 2014 by NextYearGuys
Big C Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I'm going to defend AW and Gilmore here. AW had some sort of cast on one of his arms. He hurt his wrist and was playing through it this week. It had an obvious affect on his play, similar to Gilmore's club last year. We needed him out there, but it did hurt us occasionally. That being said, we didn't give up any egregious, huge plays in the passing game like last week. Gilmore was fine most of the game. He is good in press man. Gilmore only got beat a couple times from what I saw. They were both in situations where it was 3rd and long and Schwartz rushed three and deep zone coverage. Gilmore needs coaching because he has to be able to play zone sometimes, but I have to question Schwartz's calling in those situations.
