Re: Skins vs Seasquawks Positive and Negatives
Eh...you know, everyone and their brother expected this game to be a carbon copy of the Giants game, and it was much closer than that. With all the backups in there, the 'skins still put up a pretty impressive effort. The offensive line continues to be my biggest complaint. One minute, the line can't protect the quarterback, the next minute it can't open holes for Alfred Morris. I stick with the idea that it starts with the offensive line, and outside of Williams, there is nobody on the line worth keeping around - especially that right side.
As always, I give the first year coach a pass. Gruden is going to have to have some time to develop his offense without having to deal with the plethora of injuries he's had to deal with so far. There's still plenty of time for the 'skins to turn the season around and at least improve upon what they did last year (which shouldn't take much effort.) Several of us predicted 6-10 and 7-9 by season's end. I'd say if the 'skins wind up somewhere around there, it's probably a pretty decent effort considering what all the 'skins have had to deal with this year.
