My thoughts on preseason wk 2

1. Will Howard is gonna want this one back big time

2. Drew Allar wasn't much to write home about either

3. Broderick Jones got eaten alive today

4. Troy Fautanu had a good rebound d game

5. 1st and 2nd stringers cleaned up the penalties really well

6. Kaleb Johnson basically has one foot in the black and gold grave

7. Nice to see Dashawn Elliott out there

8. Hard to evaluate the secondary when most of the main players weren't around

9. I like what i've seen from the front 7 overall..... especially in run defense

10. Carson Breuner's solid play really surprised me

 

Broderick Jones against David Bailey was a pitiful sight and he didn't get better against Bailey's backups.

 

Good thing we played a team that doesn’t get interceptions.

 

Broderick Jones has no business at right tackle. I'm not even sure left tackle.

Or gaurd... center?


Cut.. not impressed at all this guy did play in college right?

 

I actually saw more from Johnson than in the past. He had no holes. The offensive line backups did not give him much to work with.

 

Johnson had some opportunities in one-on-one situations, but he couldn't break a tackle or had the speed to get by the defender.

 

I'm not down on Allar he didn't play great, but the OL couldn't block and the receivers didn't get any separation.

 

Same problems they've had for many years now. I'm beginning to wonder if that will ever change?

 

Is it time to panic about the offensive line?

Maybe if our 1st round pick came back it could work itself out, but I’m starting to think his injury was pretty serious.

Is there anyone on the FA market or that we could trade for?

 

He goes down easy. Touch him and he falls down.

 

They've given this man every opportunity between 2 head coaches now because of this draft position and them wanting to prove they weren't wrong in drafting him

He continues to show the same.

I'm getting tired of hearing about him tbh.

 

I just watched the highlights and I think I saw one completed pass from the Steelers.

Although it looked to me like Allan’s throws were getting dropped, while Howard was under throwing.

The talk in camp was how good the o line was looking…

I’m hoping this was a game where they were trying some things that didn’t work rather than a reflection of where the team is at

 

This simply isn't true. He had holes. He simply didn't take advantage of them.

 

Allar is fine. WIP (Work In Progress) and nothing more. Same goes for Will though it is fair to point out that his second IBT was worse than the first. As for Broderick?!?!... man....


Was his biggest supporter when we drafted him. Didn't think he would be this bad. That said, him returning from his Neck Injury hasn't helped.

 

elandon roberts is a stud. all the LB'ers looked pretty good.

jones was putrid.

cook looked much much better from the left side. was not terrible from the right.

both young QB's came to the reality of why they are keeping mason as the backup for now.

overall the team looked flat on offense.

defense faired a little better.

many of these guys won't be playing or on the team soon.

tonyan is a keeper.

noakowski wertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm is a keeper.

 

O line: F- Again! Need to stop playing musical chairs
Defense: C+
Special Teams: C Can't give Wetjen any lanes
Roman Wilson: F On Haward's first pick RW just stood there and watched the guy run the ball back!
Charlie Batch: D I love Charlie but he talks too much and says dumb stuff

Can't even grade the QBs, RBs, or WRs when the O line is non-existent, it causes utter chaos.

I sure hope this was a pre-season game!

 

I wonder if he's playing afraid?

 

I thought Howard and Allar played relatively well. The receivers were terrible. Yes Howard made two costly mistakes but Wilson was drifting on his routes which contributed to those interceptions. Regarding Allar there were at least;east five dropped balls.

The offensive line is a mess. Both the right tackle and guard position is a mess right now. Neither Cook or Jones look good nor did Anderson or Hoffman. The backup Left Or I think is was 68 was a mess. We can’t establish any run game and the Qb’s were under pressure a lot in the game.

Dean didn’t look good in this game and the book is still out in Yahya Black. I see him get pushed back too much and not beating one on one blocks. He is getting to high and driven back. It’s a concern because he is key to that run defense being good.

The biggest disappointment of all is the amount of injuries we have and players not seeing field especially the rookies. Max is missing a golden opportunity right now at aRT where we really need so,e stability there. Both Cook and Jones are both too slight. They offer no anchor against the bull rush, Broderick gets best inside and outside and they offer no push in the run game.

 

Yahya is getting moved too much, I think his height leads to bad pad position, but he has talent, may just need to find the right position for him.

 

He added weight and they are expecting him to solidify the ant position that was the reason for the added weight. We don’t have another option at NT. Maybe Rubio who in my mind has actually looked better than Black.

 

I wouldn't cut him.

He'll have trade value. Because the league is always desperate for OL.

 

Especially with a QB like Rodgers who's all about timing and being in the right place at the right time.

There were a couple times last year when Rodgers all but said that Wilson wasn't playing because he wasn't running routes properly.

 

Haven't heard from the coaches yet on Wilson's routes...... the 1st int seemed to be bad timing..... if Howard throws it earlier and further inside, we may have had 6...... on the 2nd, if Howard puts some air under the throw then Wilson is off to the races. .. . As stated earlier, we won't know who was truly at fault until McCarthy speaks up, and only if he makes it public

 

11. Aaron Rodgers is toast if the Oline continues this level of performance.
