still no pass rush and no strategy to stop witten.

the linebackers blow and i know people wont like to hear this much less say it but dawk is completely done...even good defenders would have a hard time covering witten but who the hell on this team is expected to mark him

and a big fat yes on the pass rush...i said it before the season and i stand by it...where are the playmakers on the front seven...other than killa who scares you there even a little bit

[ice grillin you]

if you take away those run plays where 5 taps on his left cheek and the entire stadium knows he's changing the play to an off tackle run to the left, westy's ypc would've been decent.

that and can we please stop running the delay to westbrook out of the shotgun...or least limit it to less than 10 times a game

but then you would have to run less shotgun formation plays. cant have that.

ok gotta remind myself its only week2. they can still get into the playoffs and lose even worse when it matters most.

Observations:

- Jackson is the real deal and hopefully he gets his head on straight after the dumbest farging play I've ever seen.
- This offense is good and should only get better when Greg Lewis and Hank Baskett are no longer seeing significant playing time.
- Considine is awful.
- The mid-range pass coverage is awful.
- McNabb under pressure might be the worst decision maker and performer in the history of the league. Two coverage sacks on the final drive? Throw the farging ball out of bounds. Add in his worm-burners and you have one hell of a hot mess.
- 73 Miller Lites and gobs of chili is the best way to watch a football game short of being there.

cant get over how they had the game until that reverse/fumble. 

[pinoyboy2pt0]

the panthers are 2-0 and have one of the weakest schedules to boot.  faaaaaaaaarg me.

draft a dawk replacement with one of our firsts.  i don't know what to think about demps, he sucked huge ass in pre-season (granted...)

i'm still one of those people curious to see sheldon at s.  i hope Ikegwuonu isn't matt ware part deux.  i wouldn't mind sheldon - fs mikell - ss lito, asante, ike nickel next year.  then if demps can get his head out of his ass defensively, put someone on witten (sheldon - dawks replacement?) and put demps in to take sheldons spot or if ike as advertised prior to the acl, have him cover him.  

i'm tired of replacing meany heads and teaching them a lesson by drafting/signing their replacement.  you know what you have in lito, sheldon, asante, mikell, you don't now what you have in drafted players (see considine, moats, justice...)

get your best players on the field.  sadly dawk needs to step off, there's no room for a lb/s hybrid imo.  

only week two, so that's encouraging...  i guess.... even after ~73% called pass plays

[reese125]

I really didnt expect that game to be that close..at all

It was scary how many times McNabb looked for 1 receiver to be open and he just couldnt throw it...but expected

1 slant route thrown all game--Curtis is missed in that spot

If not for the 5 and dime connection, I dont know where this O would be right now

Alot of crazy dumbass penalties, giving the Birds good field position to score...but they were able to move the ball with 4th and 5th receivers....still shows you how bad Dallas' zone D is and can easily be beat

[Seabiscuit36]

Jacksons Endzone dance was hilarious, too bad it didnt count.

dawk needs to be put out to stud.....hes a disgrace

[hunt]

problem is, benching dawk means more pt for reno considine.

[ice grillin you]

yeah the safety position is in a shambles right now

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I liked what I saw from Mikell last night.  Watching Dawkins is getting increasingly painful, but he still knows what's going on and obviously can't be demoted for not being able to cover TO 1 on 1.

The key is that they have to deactivate Considine and give Demps and Reed a chance to play a bit.  They have players with some ability; they should use them.  Considine has been brutal.

[rjs246]

Speaking of brutal, listening to those rednecks boo the butchering of the national anthem was pretty hilarious.

[ice grillin you]

mikell is maybe acceptable playing next to a normal dawk...he is not acceptable as their best safety....he should be commended for elevating himself to the point hes at now but the fact is hes a borderline nfl starter amd probably should still be a special teamer/back up saftey

[TexasEagle]

They have players with some ability; they should use them.

That's continually the story with Reid the coach/gm. I seriously wonder if Curtis and Brown weren't hurt if Jackson would even see the field outside of punt returns. It took two years for them to get Westbrook into the action. Reid has this odd fascination with trying to squeeze diamonds out of crap every all the time instead of cutting his loses and getting someone better. See: Jeremy Bloom
