Mangini made a very upsetting expression when nugent missed...that is worst case scenario for a kicker. nuges gonna be put to some serious work this week
One guy I forgot to mention: Wallace Wright made a couple INCREDIBLE special teams tackles. I was talking to my dad before the game, figuring out the roster, and I told him Wright was perhaps the best special teams player in the game. Certainly backed up my words tonight. Also, that Safety we got from Maine Idhegibo, or whatever, I just have fun mispronouncing his name. I've settled on "Iddy higgy boo"
Wallace Wright I was talking up during the game about his special teams capabilities. He's gotta be one of the best gunners in the league.
Idhibedgo (sp) had an athletic pick and then a bonehead play in where the safe play...making the tackle would have been sufficient. Big athletic, looks a bit stiff at times
In a good way(besides the big names): Ratliff Clowney(hope he's ok) Marcus Henry Cummings Brown Murrell Lowery Gholston- he played well early on(I know he's a big name but he's still just a rookie)
I thought the Oline looked better than I had hoped for. The qbs for the most part had time and there were some holes for the run game. Henry doesn't look explosive but he is so tall, that might be deceptive. I hope he sticks as I always like a good tall target in the red zone.
Barton had a good game last night too. I just saw this and had to point it out. Take a look at Faneca from the endzone camera on the TD pass. It happens 1:10 into the video: http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80a0e15d
Cotch looked great, looked to be in good time with Favre. Love watching Harris read and react. That man is so quick to diagnose plays and explode into the backfield. Hope Clowney isn't badly hurt, he looked good, other than the one drop. Quite a quandry at WR. Smith and Wright, great on ST. Clowney, Stuckey and Henry. Who do you keep? Great job Keller on your first TD. Hearing Brett say he has a ton of talent has me convinced he will be a great player for years to come. Hope Lowery takes the other corner spot. Noticed Miller was still playing in the second half. Either he needs alot of work or they are looking at someone else as the starter. The run blocking is still suspect. The run defense is still suspect as well. Nugent was terrible last night.
Nugent needs to have his ass kicked for his crappy performance. lol. I was really impressed with Ratliff. I would like to see him play with the 1st unit a bit. He really seems to have a lot of poise in the pocket.
Yea we mentioned this one earlier. Cummings was always around the ball while he was in there. I would love to see him make the team at this point.
