Rugby Saint II

The good-we have room for improvement
The bad-we really need to improve a lot

The good: It took two 50+ yard FG's and they could not beat us in regulation.

The bad: Payton's birth control eye glasses. Should have given them to Colston in the 4th quarter.

Good - Cooks is good and will move the chains. He brings quickness and good route running. Ingram looks like the player he was in college. PT is the best backup/role player in the NFL. Robinson has the skills. The O-Line looked as good. Very solid. Graham hit his kicks.

Good and Bad - Brees was good. Not great. Missed on the deep throws. Graham made some good catches and will look good in the stats. But, big time players take over in key games and situations. He has come up short more than less in that department. Colston had some good plays and one critical turnover. Something he's done before.

Bad - Everyone connected to the defense. Scheme was bad. Gameplan was bad. Execution was horrible. Absolutely no adjustments throughout. The defensive line was a complete no show. Jordan, Bunkley, Hicks and JR were taken to task by at best an average NFL o-line. 3 QB hits on the stat sheet. P. Robinson is a waste of space. Vaccaro was shockingly invisible. Byrd looked like a guy in a new scheme without many reps. Sunseri needs to play over Bush. 42 passes. 26 rushes. (Cooks and Brees 1 carry each excluded.)

The Good: Our offense looks more versatile than in previous years. The run game was strong, all our RB's got involved in the passing game, cooks was cooking graham and colston doing the usual

The Bad: Poor tackling, non-existent pressure on matt ryan, poor coverage technique (not sure why we're playing so far off on the receivers), linebackers that couldn't cover to save their life, sean payton abandoning the run game

At the very least I think we will be a better road team this year.

Sorry but: you lose to Falclowns it is all bad. Defense looked horrible and tired. Offensive line still can't run block. It will be a long year. And that is the good parts.

I beg to differ there. We left some rushing yards on the field due to us not running the ball as much as we could have. The team had about 140 rushing yards. And that was on the road. I think our oline will be fine.

Possibly. But we must have been watching different games. When it came to crunch time, their defense made a joke out of our o-line. I don't want to say it but...

Like when we punched the ball in with under 2 minutes left in the game?

there is hope for the defense. did you see all the help our defensive picks made? or did they all sit on the bench holding hands?

How is Greer? If I see P Rob play anymore I think I am going to die of cardiac arrest
