Good:
1. We won - Seriously what else needs to be said.
2. Max Hall - You want to talk intangibles. Little crazy, top of the food chain competitor, see the field great, makes the throws needed. We have our QB of at least the next 3 games or more.
3. Our Cornerbacks - You tell me who you would throw at ? DRC - LOL, no. Toler - OK, but you are playing with fire. If we had a pass rush, oh the things we could do on defense. The craziest thing, is Toler is the most complete of the two, yet DRC is ridiculously talented.
4. Special Teams - Best in the league, IMO. The worst of the entire core is our PR, whom I believe will get better and right now is average. Our punter pretty much got us 10 points last week, Feeley is consistant, our KR is deadly, and our return teams are stout (Kickoff can be shaky)
5. Alan Branch - Seriously. Alan f'n Branch. WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN !?!?!?! Look after the draft where we picked this guy up. I was extremely happy about the pick. Then Branch just sucked, sucked, sucked, and little by little he would show his potential. The last two games ? Let's put it this way. Campbell should NOT be starting, and will not be if this continues. I think what did it this year, is his technique is MUCH improved, and it allows him to play the game he wants to, and know he can do.
The Bad:
Seriously, there was still some bad stuff going down.
1. Max Hall - Gotta learn or adjust to how fast the safeties are in this league. If you are down by two TD's, and you are going in to score the first of two needed TD's, and you kill yourself, then you cannot score the 2nd TD to tie the game up, or the FG to win it. Max Hall has two weeks to calm down, and then see how he performs when he is a little more calm/assertive. Cause if he plays like this, he will never make 5 games, let alone 16. He knows this, and will work on it, but still. He has a LOOOOOoooong way to go.
2. Beanie Wells - Point #1: Shooting your mouth off about touches, after barely recovering from knee surgery. Point #2: At 239lbs, you gotta start picking up 2nd & 3 for 1st downs. And he wonders why he watches the goal line packages on the sideline. 20 carries for 35 yards ? Marcel Shipp could do that for us, and we would never hear a complaint out of him. Potential don't mean jack squat, until it becomes production. How many runs over 20 yards does Beanie have ? Everyone is running behind the same line, Beanie better concentrate on getting healthy, and picking his game up.
3. Play Calling - 2nd and Goal and you pass. 3rd and a mouse fart and you pass. Maybe Hightower, Beanie, Maui'a and our HUGE-NORMOUS offensive line is a bunch of pansies. I dunno. But, I would be insulted as a unit for those play calls. POUND THE ROCK. Has James Harrison taught us nothing about this ?
4. Calias Campbell - Who? Blame our NT, blame Porter. Campbell is sucking it against the run, and his pass rushing has been HORRIBLE. Ugly, disgusting. Very, very disapointed in his play.
5. Interior OL - I don't see it. How is Lutui our best O-linemen ? He can pass block for sure, but his run blocking is putrid, and next Sendlien who is also doing a very poor job, there is nothing. Just like we bash Robinson for getting knocked around, Sendlien is worthless as a run blocker. We gotta get some guys in here that can open up some holes.
