Why not just hand the ball to Ellington right there?
I am glad we won, but here are a few issues that I took from the game:
- Palmer looked a little rusty on some of the throws.
- O-line had way too many procedural penalties that likely can be attributed to Palmer not practicing.
- There were too many drops by the receivers again. I counted at least 5.
- Play calling was suspect in the 4th quarter after all those TO(s)
- It's obvious all the injuries are starting to effect the defense.
- We play man-on-man islands too much. It resulted in big plays in the first half. Once we changes in the 2nd half, the defense was able to keep Washington from doing much & forced Cousins to throw into zone coverage.
Good things:
- Palmer looked good.
- O-line kept Palmer clean for most of the game.
- Catanzaro is a stud.
- Okefor looks like a playmaker pass rusher in his first start. I can't wait to see him rushing the passer lined up wide next to Campbell.
