#1. Run Defense - 25 attempts for kevin "packer killer" jones. 87 yards. That is awesome run defense. That is a sign of things to come.
#2. Ahmad Carroll - There is no WAY in HELL he is getting a lot of playing time next week. If he gets the starting nod, I am going to bet against the packers (they win..fine...they lose...money)
#3. Offense - it stunk. it sputtered. the new guards did ok. This looked rather flukish. Our guys got cramped up in the 3rd quarter. Javon got hurt...driver got cramped...fergy got cramped..ahman got cramped. Then favre had that weird 'fumble' which wasnt a fumble, btw, and should have been challenged by sherman, cuz it was close. Do you think the offense will perform this way every week? If you do...well..god bless you.
#4 - Pass defense - KGB...sack. Kampman...sack. Jenkins...sack. They got a great push on a pretty decent offensive line. Joey thomas made some good plays on 3rd downs, stopping a first down. Those boys did that a couple of times...when Ahmad wasnt giving up a first down.
#5 - Special Teams - yeah...special teams sure were awesome today. So much for eddie drummond being great, and us being crappy. I called that one, btw. Thank you.
#6 - Goal Line stand - we had a goal line stand. That is impressive no matter who you are playing, and with these young men..its very impressive. I dont think I said the words "goal line stand" once last year.
#7 - Jim Bates - Wow....87 rush yards for jones. thats damn good. 167 pass yards by harrington. That is also damn good. We didnt overpursue too much, and we closed run gaps fast. We got good pressure on the QB, and we forced a couple 3 and outs. And you know whats sick? This is a lof of those guys first games...and they're only gonna get better.
Next week...Cleveland Browns...at home...honoring Reggie...
