Final thoughts on the Jags game and my adopted players
Worked up the gumption to watch the game on nfl replay last night. I've got bad news. They still lost and all remains meaningless.
I'm confident most of the good points have been made about the game but I wanted beat that dead horse for just one more post:
- All in all that was a horrendously officiated game. On both sides too. But there were quite a few times that Silverback was being held on the edge pretty clearly and no flags. Hines got punched in the head out of bounds on his first long catch. Holmes may or may not of caught that ball but I'll be damned if I can see evidence to overturn it. And I think we can all agree that Mahan didn't hold a soul on the first two point conversion attempt. For those keeping score at home, two points is what we lost by.
- Heath Miller. STUD. But... Some areas for improvement still. I tried to focus on him this time through the game on offensive snaps. He has a hard time fighting jams when a lineback would meet him at the line Heath tended to get driven off his route pretty easily. This could be a product of him knowing the pass wasn't coming to him but I'd like to see him shed those jams a bit quicker and fire off the line everytime into patterns. As I said last time Heath does a good job maintaining a block but he doesn't fire off the ball all that well and is usually blocking right on the line of scrimmage and never pushes his man back off the ball. Otherwise ya'll have seen him getting open enough and he's got sure hands and gets YAC everytime. Love him.
- James Farrior. Slightly less studly. Potsey played better this game than he did some others. He shot the run gaps well forcing the RBs to change their attack. My problem is that when he shot the gaps he'd only partially hit the back and seldom could get a solo tackle. His gap responsibility was good so the backs didn't get too much, but something that really good inside backers do is hit the gaps and bring the back down in the backfield, not just redirect him. Oh potsey... In coverage you were killed on the Jones-Drew TD. Just burned. Now that's a tough match up but I'd like to see Potsey play the angle better to ensure a tackle after the catch. He did get the one interception that was nice. but there were a few other times when he was burnt in coverage by the backs. Greg Jones even burnt him once but had the ball bounce off his face mask.
