I Know

I know, it’s only preseason! And a win, but it sure was not pretty. Ben was running for his life the whole first half. That’s not good. In fact he was the leading rusher in the first half with 17 yards. That’s not good! Parker only had 4 yards on 4 carries. I’m beginning to wonder if he is really healthy, but maybe the real problem is the offensive line. By now they should be looking a lot better. It makes no difference who the quarterback or running backs are if you don’t have the horses up front. Looking more and more like they need to be spending more time in the weight room. Could be the offensive line is going to be our down fall this year.




Washington’s only touchdown in the game was in the first quarter. A 7 yard pass with the defense in the cover-two, rushing only three, I know your going to get sick of hearing it, but, THAT DEFENSE SUCKS! (See Picture. Notice all the white jerseys just standing around) If you can’t defend 7 yards with it, you need to stop using it! There were 4 offensive linemen standing around doing nothing on the play. Even I could complete a 7 yard pass if I had all day to throw it. If we keep it up this may become the weekly Cover-Two Sucks blog. The one bright spot, the defense held Washington to only 43 net rushing yards. That’s only 26 more yards then Ben had in the first half.


I think next week against the Eagles will probably be the most important pre-season game this year and should give us a good look at what to expect for the rest of the season.

How about on 4th and goal when we decided to kick a field goal for the win instead of seeing if the guys "have the right stuff"?

I thought the whole point of pre-season was looking at the players, not getting a meaningless win.

I blame Bush!
