As expected everyone is overreacting, go over to the stl forums and take a gander, it’s chaos over there.
Take a look at what the team did vs the boys
Oline:
Pancaked:
Jake Long 3 times (what?)
Williams 2 times
Dahl 2 times
Allowed 6 awful sacks against an average Dline
RB’s:
Pead 6 attempts, long of 11
Cunningham had 4, long of 9
WR’s/TE’s:
Drops,
Cook 2 (both were wide open drops)
Givens 2 (plus a dumb fumble)
Quick 1 (wide open drop)
Austin 1 (he would have been lit up if he caught it, thanks Bradford)
QB:
Missed some open WR’s,
Quick in the endzone for an easy TD
Overthrew a couple of open WR’s, not sure if they were in the wrong place but I figure he was rattled.
Tidbit on Bradford: One thing that really bothers me about Bradford is he almost never says anything to his teammates when they make mistakes. He just walks to the sideline with this confused look on his face. To me that’s not a leader, Fisher needs to talk to him about that, he needs to get in these guys faces.
Dline:
Completely dominated. Nough said
LB’ers:
Ogeltree, Witten made him look like a rookie
JL55 couldn’t get off the block if his life depended on it.
Witherspoon has bricks for feet, got beat bad by the TE rookie
DB’s
Jenkins was ok
Tru and Court looked lost most of the time
McLeod was too busy tackling RB’s to cover anyone.
McDonald same as above.
ST’s:
Start over. Except Austin, Hecker, Greg the leg.
Coaching:
This game reminded me of the Scott Linehan and Spag days. The coaching staff was completely outmatched and completely underprepared.
Offense:
Schotty, what in the hell are you doing? You are soooo damn predictable. Why are you only using Austin on short drag routes and putting him out in the flat. Whats up with ever WR only running 5 yard routes? Yes you started opening it up in Garbage time but what gives? As I said last week if you come out and put Sam in the shotgun and line up in your predictable formations you’re going to have a long day. I saw no bunch formations, only 1 draw play (in garbage time). Absolutely ZERO creativity. Why don’t we see Austin and cook Stacked? Why don’t we see Cook, Quick, Austin and Givens in bunch formations? Why don’t you hide Austin behind quick or cook? No bubble screens? No Playaction? Oh you have to run to ball to do that……..Oh wait no you don’t, Payton Manning does it all the time and he hasn’t had a running game for years.
Defense:
Im not sure whether or not Fisher is calling the plays on Defense or Walton is just an idiot. I’m so sick of seeing these DB’s 10 yards off a WR when it’s 3rd & 6. It just doesn’t make sense. One play in particular…Score was 17 to Zero, Dallas has the ball, it’s 3rd and a long 6 and low and behold I see Coutland about 8 to 9 yards off of Austin. You called it, a simple slant route and he has an easy first down before he’s even touched. To me that’s coaching, that’s not letting your guys play that’s letting your play calling beat you. It seems as though everyone is seeing this except the coaching staff, game after game we see the same thing with the same result.
HC:
It’s on you Jeff, you didn’t have your entire team ready for this game and it showed on the field.
