Positives of this Game

[T.O.Killa]

I would like somebody to post that nasty hit Fletcher put on Jacobs.

can we please get rid of zorn and campbell

If London doesn't make the Pro Bowl this year, that's just pathetic.

He SHOULD have been there last season, and plenty of others too.

I hope he averages 12-15 tackles a game and has a few picks so his numbers are so huge that they can't deny him again. Maybe Big Al will help boost his numbers all season.

Hopefully he'll be the DPOY. You can't keep the defensive player of the year out of the Pro Bowl, right?

Can we please learn English and how to read thread titles?

Did anyone mention Hunter Smith? Aside from the TD, we finally have a good punter.

It's been since, Matt Turk? Reggie Roby? It's been too many years of suffering through bad punters.

Also, Suisham didn't shank anything yet. I wanted him gone so badly, but I have to give him credit for being better so far.

O-line played pretty well in pass blocking, ARE in the slot is a beast.

Plenty of other threads for you to bitch.

You're right, but, in fairness, I only said he lost one. The first one went out of bounds, although the Giants had the best shot at it. The second was ruled not to have been a fumble, but really, that's a pretty big cause for concern for me; as much as he gets the football, he very nearly lost 2 fumbles yesterday.

Randle El in the slot is nasty. I hope the coaches saw this and take FULL advantage of it this year. ARE's quicks make him an excellent slot guy.

Cooley was solid? Cooley lost 1 fumble and then almost lost another. Ball security seems to be an issue once he's caught the football. He doesn't drop many balls (if any), but it does seem like he has a tendency to put it on the ground while fighting for more yards. He's got to put it away.

How can anyone really say that, based on yesterday, the Skins should give up on Campbell? I concede, throwing the ball about 3 yards past the line of scrimmage was probably the dumbest mistake I've see him make, but that pick was not his all his fault. The ball should have never been thrown, but Moss has to come back to it. Also, it took a hell of a play to even get picked. As for the fumble, that's all on him, he's admitted that and said he's frustrated with himself for that play. Other than that, what was not to like, yesterday? The only time the ball moved (other than 1 running play) was through the air.

There's absolutely no way the running game should not be secondary going forward. Campbell was efficient and they made some big plays with Randle El running after the catch. I'd love to see Kelly and Moss get involved, but when you only throw 26 times, that's not going to happen very often.

I'm encouraged by what I saw out of Campbell, other than those 2 mistakes. As far as the running game goes, I'm only a little concerned because the Giants have the best D Line in football, so I'll wait to say "this line can't run block," but I'd definitely like them to do less of it against St. Louis.

Here is my problem with Campbell. I do understand it was one game, and I am not ready to let him go. BUT Jason looks the same as always. He is not a leader on the team. Jason didn't respond well when the pocket broke down. He fumbled again. He just looks lost when he plays the Giants. He has no confidence when he plays them. How will we ever be the best team in the East when we can't beat them? That starts with the QB. I don't see JC beating the Giants. He is scared of them. Year after year I defend the kid and hope for different results, but at this point when do we stop making excuses and looking for little things to say he played well. The kid threw a pick when he was about 3 yards across the line of scrimmage. Not smart football. He makes boneheaded plays year in and year out. I'm not ready to give up, but i won't continue to come to his defense until he prove he can win in this league. 16-21 as a starter. Not a winner, yet?

Are completions and yards "little things"? Because he did a lot of those.

those are stats. i do get the point he is trying to make. Campbell should take charge out there.

[NYCskinfan82]

It's the first game
Are looked good
O-line looks good
D-line needs more time to jell
Kicking game looks good
JC looks good when given time

HTTR.

Well, they are stats, but I wasn't referring to them as stats. I was referring to the actual live-game occurrences of completing passes and gaining positive yards. Can those be considered small things, or are they the essence of the task?

When he eventually retires, I hope we can get him to coach

I believe Chase Daniels could do a better job at QB! At least he scrambles and tries anyway he can to get that 1st down!
