Not To Be Negative...

1. Agreed, at least 3 drops if not more that were in the hands of the receivers, I counted 1 cooley, 1 moss, 1 yoder
2. On 2 of those short routes he had a d-lineman in his face and had to throw around him, if not ball would have been batted and no play at least he is giving the receivers an opportunity to get the ball and he is hitting the hot receiver with a blitz coming......but still needs work or better blocking but can't complain about that with all the injuries will still take time to jell in the new guys.
3. QB pressure, if I recall from last year, we weren't even getting close. last year sack TOTAL for the year-19, this year already 5.....doing better but still could use some improvement, I think carter is on the verge of a BIG year, he didn't have any last night but was VERRRY close on several plays
4. Tackling.....AGREED, but it seemed like it was only on Westbrook, who is pretty freaking GOOD, but still gotta make the first tackle or slow him up more for somebody to finish him off!
5. Positives, WOW how about the rookie coming up HUGE on the biggest play of the game!

My list:

1. Hands. We've got to catch the ball. Cooley and Moss both had a few drops in addition to their great receptions last night. I'd love to see Carlos Rogers get a few practice reps catching the ball. He puts himself in great position but just can't make the catch. That's huge.

2. Jason Campbell's short-medium range accuracy. Seems like he has a tendency to fire the ball a little high and outside on the shorter routes. That could very easily cost us some points if corners start jumping the routes.

3. QB pressure. We got close ALOT last night, but didn't get as many sacks as we could've out of it. Some will probably say that McNabb is a mobile qb and that's why he was able to elude the pressure. I disagree. Last night, McNabb was not all that fluid and wasn't pulling away from anyone. I think our dline just has to adjust their technique a little bit to turn pressures into sacks.

What did you see?
