Game 3: TB 31 Miami 28

One of the things that is cool about a blog is I can be a few days late with my thoughts on a game from Saturday. I'll keep this short.

1) Offensive Line -- gave up three sacks and allowed our backs to average 3.3 yards per. Our line sucks. Let's not sugar-coat it.

2) The "Underdog" receivers, i.e. Kerry Reed -- As stated yesterday, my current irk is with management's liking of Hakim, who hasn't played a down. Several reporters have referenced Reed's inconsistency on the field, and from what it sounds, this inconsistency is what put Hakim ahead of Reed. OK, so cut a rookie who can actually improve on his "consistency" and give the spot to a veteran who is "consistent" at being injured. Silly.

To the game, Reed caught one ball...for two yards, and PK Sam caught two for 60 and a touch. (Shakes head and rolls eyes) Just cut Hakim.

3)The Secondary -- They won't win us games. Jason Allen got beat for six. Where to begin with Allen's progress or lack there of.

4) Jesse Chatman -- chump change running the ball. Earned a touch, though.

5) Ted Ginn on kick returns -- didn't return a kick, but was utilized where a first-round speedster should be: In the slot.

Some other good signs: We completed half of our third-down conversions; had a few nice drives and stretched the field a little bit; Ginn got some reps catching balls; Lorenzo Booker out of the backfield - nice; John Beck looked great, and Matt Roth is making me feel good about our D-Line

MIA @ NO on Thursday.
