SHOW NOTES:
Best place to start is with AJ McCarron
He didn’t play nearly as badly as I thought he did.
Most (if not all) of the miscommunications were on the other guys
Timeout wasted by Kareen Walker not knowing the play.
18/26. 190. 2 Touchdowns.
11/14 144. 2 TD in 4q
7/12 36 (>5 yards average)
2 of the 3 misses in 4q were overthrows, 1 was Ateman not coming down with the ball.
Knew where to drift, knew when to go down.
Good for his sustainability
5 sacks for 23 yards is bad sustainability
4 scrambles for 12 yards
Probably ran 500 yards NGS.
8 or 9 plays that were disasters
Running backs
Brian Hill should not be returning kicks.
6 for 55, long of 40
3 for 26 receiving
Mateo Durant
3 for 0, long 1. Average yardage was 0
3 for 6 receiving
average of 2, means one was for 0 or negative yards
Kareem Walker
This guy
2 for 1
1 for 4 receiving
Doesn’t know the plays (I assume)
Being told his routes
Being told his motions
3rd down, had to use a time out
In depth description of the play and aftermath
Extra point, he motions right. Blown-up play.
Bad player
Shit effort on a screen
Wide Receivers
I wish we knew what we had
Mostly a bad thing
A little bit of a good thing
8 different receivers with a catch
3 guys with targets and no receptions
Austin Proehl
He’s good. 4 for 49, (caught all 4 targets) 1 td, 1 3 pt
22 yards on the 4th and 15
2 defenders at the sticks
Found a hole right behind them and sat down
Waves in the catch
One of the only WR to see the field correctly
Hakeem Butler
He’s good and reliable
3 for 32 (caught all three targets) 32 yards
Big time contested catch for the first touchdown
Marcell Ateman
2 for 4, 45 yards
Size is great, I want to see more
Great body control to get the one foot in
Would be sick to not have to throw to runningbacks on dumps offs, but here we are.
McCarron might not be able to get the ball out quick
Who’s fault is that?
Other receivers
Sutherland (TE) played great
21 yards right after the forced fumble
Weird play in the 4th Q when McCarron misses him, maybe? (could be Shepherd)
Jennings had trouble reading the coverage on a pivotal 3rd down
Offensive Line
Great example of how not to do your job.
No one looked good
LG was okay, then shit the bed the next play, same with everyone
He got taken out for a second
Not just bad on pass pro was a catastrophe for 94% of plays.
1Q, 2:22, 2nd and 10 play description
1st drive of 3rd quarter, 8 yard sack on 3rd down.
A few new guys came in on one drive (ended in a missed field goal)
Blocked well, B. Hill 40 yard run.
3 plays in the last 2 drives they blocked well.
1 3 rushers and 2 4 rushers
Bad all around, might be a bigger issue than just something time can help
Offense as a Whole
It was bad, except for whe it was good, which was just such a small amount
Play calling was good
Execution was so close to being the worst.
God I hope no one ever blitzes ever
Defensive Line
Kind of hard to judge this one because of
1: All the injuries SA had on the offensive line
2: On the field forever
3: Their offensive line might’ve been having the same things going on
Travis MF Feeney.
No one roots for injuries… except for SA’s left tackle
Great pressure for the the 20 minutes he played.
Strip sack
Kevin Atkins #90
Constant pressure in the middle
Bully ball
LaCale London
Sack on the last play
Defensive line played well as a whole
No another sacks other than the Strip sack and the last play of the game
Shout out to Jack Coan for evading pressure like that
Linebackers
You can only be happy about what they did
38 minutes with very short breaks
SA ran the ball 39 times
Limited big runs until later in the game
Stayed STRONG in the the RZ
Gave up no throws to the middle
3 guys with TFLs
Defensive Backs
Nate Meadors!
Int on the first drive
Tip drill
Right place, right time
Great hands on the ball
Elijah Hamilton
Confirmed dude
2 tackles, both TFL
Completions
Mostly Underneath
Safeties showed some lack of discipline during Scramble drills for big gains
Coan hit 9 different guys
Never really forced incompletions
Got LUCKY on the fake spike
Defense as a Whole
On the field forever
Maybe forgivable?
They did not break and butted up in the RZ
Only TD was after a 3 minute STL drive in Q4
Made Jack Coan play
Put it on the Shoulders of the QB = Good
A few missed tackles
Runningbacks
Wide receivers came down quick
Screen play to Akers was the exception
Ka Kaw of the week goes to Austin Proehl
Found the spots, made big catches, clutch
Uh Uh of the week goes to Jim Hermann
Decided to play prevent D in the last 2 minutes of the game
