CommandB11 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Forbath's night = Short kickoff, missed 46 yarder, and a kickoff out of bounds all in one game. Another 35 yarder hit an upright, but he got a reprieve because of a penalty. How is any of that on Kotwica? That is all on forbath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Actually, was thinking Forbath and missed that it was about the ST coach. ST overall seemed better. Had a couple of poor coverages allowing the returner to get to far upfield. One where the kicker had to make the saving tackle. Much better overall though. Very few punts in the game because the offense was too efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonez3 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Wow, in a very important position battle and Kai kicks one OB. Not good. No excuse if a K made tackle on kickoff. That is on Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I love how WaPo came out with the article about the Patriots missing numerous starters. Like we weren't missing key guys either Clearly they are the lone voice of rationality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Tomb Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 If we're going with Preseason to judge who our starter should be - it should be Colt McCoy... Sorry, had to stir the pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 How is any of that on Kotwica? That is all on forbath. Kotwica had a bad night because there were a few breakdowns and stupid penalties... one overturned a fumble recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't we just be happy that the lines played well, the team was fairly disciplined, and we tackled? Preseason game 1 ya'll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preseason game 1 ya'll. 20 years of suck can impede the neurological development of sports fans. Thats just the way this town is. Thats the way the media is. There is always some angle/agenda (not that the team itself hasn't helped that). Always. Hate/controversy sells. Everytime I listen to a call in session its like an AA meeting.

daveakl Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 If I remember correctly, the tackle our kicker made was one where we had the returner dead to rights at about the 10 but our guy was held. Didn't they throw a flag on that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan4128 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Overall, good game with a lot of positives but also some things that need to get cleaned up. (And could those Pats announcers have been anymore inept Here's a couple of observations I took from the game (disclaimer: it's a preseason game so I'll temper my excitement ): RG3 looked decent in a very limited sample size. JG came out running the ball (effectively I might add) so RG3 wasn't asked to do much in that first series. Nice fade pass giving AR15 an opportunity to make a play. Cousins looked a little shaky at first but then settled down nicely. McCoy looked to be the better of the 3, but I don't read much into that. He's a former starter in this league and isn't your typical "3rd stringer/clipboard" guy. Not to mention, he was going against guys that more than likely will not make the team come roster cuts. Otherwise, solid showing by all 3. I initially thought WR was going to be the deepest position on the team, but after watching the RBs last night I have reconsidered this. Morris is Morris and continues to be the man. After #46 though, the competition was fierce. Helu looked good, as did Thompson. But, the night truly belonged to Redd and Strunk. Those guys showed up to play and battle for a roster spot. They played exclusively in the 2nd half, so you can only take so much out of that. However, I believe these two will get some work with starters for the remaining games for evaluation. One things for sure, they aren't making things easy for Gruden and Co. R. Grant and AR15. Save for the early non-TD, AR15 showed up and played like he truly wants to be on this team. It was refreshing to see him doing something other than "Go Long, ****er!". Grant looked like he's been in the NFL at least a couple of years. When watching him, he doesn't strike me as a rookie. Plays disciplined and makes plays. Nothing flashy, just a guy who's coming to work. DL played well and I think I spotted (gasp) a pass rush. Much better showing by the front seven and seemed to generate pressure throughout the game. I will allow for the fact that Tom Svelte Hair Brady was not in the game and that took away from the overall assessment of our guys there, but still nice to see them getting pressure. Secondary held their own, but again would have liked to see how they'd fair against a starting caliber QB. STs. Forbath looked all-out-of-sorts last night. He clearly looked uncomfortable from the start and it didn't get better as game went along. Hocker looked the better of the two and is definitely pushing Forbath. A couple of STs miscues, but I'm willing to give Ben K. a chance to correct that. Afterall, he did inherit a mess of a STs unit and has had to basically start over building a new unit. Just my take, feel free to add or disagree at your leisure. HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonez3 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm one of RG3s biggest supporters, but... Not based off 1 preseason game, every player has to earn their spot. I think a QB competition is healthy. He's not Peyton. He can be granted the spot. Frankly, I think most would say he's unproven given the caveat of 2012 read option effect. I don't see it being a competition right now. But, I won't be shocked if it becomes a question at some point in this season or the future. Again, it's good to have competition.

Also where is this talk even coming from? It's been one game And we don't know exactly what he was told to focus on for the game. It's all eval/experimenting. I doubt he'll look like that come Week 1. And even if he does, its his second full offseason. Gotta be patient.
