Victory Monday

I just watched the game on NFL Game Rewind (which sucks because you cant watch it during MNF or SNF)...anyways.
I was quite happy...however, our OT's got manhandled often. I am concerned because there is no way any QB can continue to take that sort of abuse...and keeping in mind they didn't have their studs...we may have an issue.

Ironically, it seemed the interior 3 seemed be be playing with some cohesion...and what the heck is up with Montgomery's shotgun snaps?...that dude needs some serious practice...they are either way to high or they are slow moving rainbows...both put Rex in jeopardy....I couldn't imagine how Beck would have dealt with that, Rex handled those poor snaps superbly.

Another thing....I do think they could have shifted the ground game a bit more to the power game with a lead FB, unfortunately Sellers was inactive, I do believe that is neccessary with the Giants.

I absolutely loved how many new players made key plays...all 3 Dline + backup Neild made key plays...Kerrigan of course.
Of course our Safetys were a bit week.. otogwe seemed missing...I loved Wilson at CB...I was expecting a drop off. Fred Davis killed it.
Hightower was a bit disappointing, but that was due to blocking, punting and kicking were solid.

The only disappointment and concern long term for me...Oline and Safety.....I also do have some Dline concerns against the power rushing teams with close scores...that could hurt us in 4th quarters if the other team is trying to run out the clock...but that concern still up in the air...I though Cofield was ok...but far from dominant particularly in the rushing game.

I did love the playcalling....a little disappointed in Armstrong on what would have been an amazing catch...but otherwise, I DO believe we have a WR corp!!
Gaffney is fine, Armstrong has high potential...Moss is as good as 5 years ago, our TE's are solid...(cooley looks hurt but should be fine)

Lets not get ahead of ourselves...we beat an NFC east team at home, we need to do that ALL the time to be 8-8. The team was hurt and may not have taken us seriously...that may not happen again. Our later schedule is very rough, we need to get early wins to get to 8-8...This is a good step in the right direction.

Prediction: Neild will be playing into the rotation every game as Cofield look winded.
And that is amazing considering I didn't even think the 7th rounder would have made the practice squad 3 weeks into training camp
HAIl Victory!!
