Game Report

[PirateVOL]

QB: Played like a FR making his first start
RB: really no room to run.  Lane made better use of his opportunities though Neal had the play of the game for RBs when he aborted the play fake to pick up a blitzes off the edge.  Heads up play though Dobbs wondered where his RB was to play fake to.
WR: pig good night.  North a better 2nd half, don't know what he was doing on a long pass in the 1st quarter, throttled back and thus didn't get to the ball.  Croom started fast and the disappeared, when he wasn't missing blocks.  Johnson a good night.  Smith a huge DROP.
OL: embarrassed.  Foster the only passing grade IMO.  6 false starts, a key holding penalty, high snaps, missed blocks and, in general, poor play.

DL:  best performance of the defense, when they weren't getting gashed.
LB: Sucked.  Out of position, too easily blocked, didn't get off blocks, watched RBs and QBs run past them.
DB: Really sucked.  Couldn't cover, couldn't tackle, etc ... Where did McNeil go?  More played the
Last 2/3 to 3/4 of the game at safety.  McNeil only came back in for Randolph when the game was out of hand in the 4th quarter.  We played most of the game in nickel and probably would have been better served to leave the base defense in.

ST: Palardy did well, had one bad punt, otherwise kicked and punted well - MVP so far for the year.

Coaching:  realistically I thought the offensive calls weren't too bad, really poor execution.
Defensively some more weird formations.

Bottom line our worst game of the year IMO.
