just watched the game again on dvr.
Offense:
QBs:
- Rivers didnt mess around in the pocket. he made quick decisions.
- Whitehurst was garbage.
- Sorensen was better than Whitehurst which confirms what I saw in practice. Kept eyes downfield and didn't let the pressure bother him. Could push jesus for a spot if he keeps it up
RBs:
- Mathews looked fast and quick and more confident. Also made a nice block in pass pro.
- Fozzy ran hard but I don't think he's good enough to stick in the league. This years Brinkley
- Hill dropped a pass but also showed more agility than Fozzy. His line did him zero favors. Would like to see him get snaps earlier in the game next time.
- Didn't notice McClain. Not sure what his role is or if he even makes the team.
WRs:
- Allen might not be fast but he is quick. Beat winfield early on but winfield grabbed him and the refs missed it. Would of had a huge play if Whitehurst had any accuracy. Burned Thurman bad on that play
- Meachem runs ugly routes and has zero aggressiveness when the ball is in the air. Let's himself get abused physically. Shouldnt make the team but he will
- DePalma was alright. Might be some insurance for Royal on the practice squad. Tasker seemed a bit quicker than him though.
- Willie is big and physical and even blocked well. Wish he could make it over Meachem. If the team carries six, he's my favorite.
- Goodman looks slower than last year. It's safe to cut him.
TEs:
- Gates ain't done yet
- Phillips is the prototypical #2 TE. Doesn't stand out but does his job. blocks and can catch.
- Green is smooth. Should get involved more with the Alexander injury.
OL:
- Dunlap was surprisingly very good in pass protection. Kind of reminded me of McNeill. Run blocking wise it was interesting. They didn't really make him block anyone. Just seal the edge. Doubt we will be seeing him pull or anything. Playing to his strengths, I like it.
- Starks clear downgrade from Dunlap. Looked average. For a backup, he's OK but that starting job is Dunlaps.
- Rinehart was solid both in pass pro and run blocking. Solid, underrated pickup here.
- Clary looked good and I hate Clary with every fiber in my body.
- Fluker was as advertised. Speed gives him trouble but once he locks on it's over and he's dominant in the run game. On the 4th down play he cleared out the entire right side of the line.
- Troutman stood out to me. When I watched the game live, his penalties were discouraging but I made sure to pay attention to him on the replay and wow is he nasty in the run game. his pass blocking was ok, missed a few but he is a difference maker in the run game. Even his cut block penalty or whatever was him just being aggressive. I can live with it. He also showed better awareness than I would of thought from such a twitter doofus. It's hard for a guy with two penalties to be the most impressive player on the line but troutman was fucking impressive.
- The rest were terrible. Mike Harris is better at right tackle than he was at left tackle but not by much. I saw him trip over himself on a play late in the first half. So embarrassing. Becton was better than Harris. I'd put Becton the practice squad because he has some tools to work with. The sack he gave up was on Whitehurst for holding onto the ball.
DEFENSE
DL:
- Liuget and Reyes were both active. Both are special athletes.
- Thomas looked like a starting NT. Made numerous stuffs. Just needs to do that every week.
- Freeney looks like he's got something to prove. Seemed like he was bringing pressure on every pass play
- Scafe was impressive. Baby Spanos was kind of talking him up at one of the training camp practices and he showed why. Thought he shed blocks well.
- Geathers was my player of the game. Consistently collapsed the pocket. Put the center on his ass at around the 8 minute mark in the 2nd quarter. Beautiful. Also if he's active on gamedays he's going to block a field goal this year.
- Wynn missed a tackle and allowed a TD but brought some pressure. Looks to be more of a pass rusher than a run stuffer.
- Jerideau and Harrell both sucked. Couldn't seperate from blocks.
LB:
- Too small of a sample size but Te'o diagnosis plays quickly. I didn't really see him struggle to get off blocks as some other guy said but didn't make any plays either.
- English was solid, best pass rusher behind Freeney. He looked faster than I remember.
- Tourek was active and made a couple nice plays in the run game. His pass rushing isn't there yet however.
- Beltre is a physical player. Good burst off the line. I wonder how he would do at MLB though because he does seem on the smaller side for an OLB
- Thought DJ Smith was better than both Gachkar and Bird.
CB:
- Wright plays A LOT bigger than his listed height. I think it's his arms but he plays like he's 6'3. Same with Cox.
- Steve Williams was the best corner tonight hands down. Fast and quick. Seems perfect for the slot.
- Josh Johnson, Brown and the rest all looked like shit.
S:
- Weddle was Weddle.
- Stuckey looked lost in coverage. First TD was on him.
- Cattouse showed good open field tackling and was around the ball a lot. Looked better than Stuckey and Addae
top 3 players: geathers, sorensen, steve williams (troutman would of been on here if not for the penalties)
