Thoughts after Cards Game

[Big Texas]

1. Orlavsky: looks like the one guy at the club that loves to dance but just doesn't know how and has no rhythm.

2. Mario, Shaub, AJ, Cushing: Ready to play some football!!!

3. Sharpton: This guy definitely needs to get some playing time. Maybe he can be a huge contributer while Cushing is out...

4. Slaton: definitely cannot be counted on as an everydown back...I think the long drive wore him down and his mechanics suffered after each play...Still think he can be a major weapon in the screen game. I am still willing to give him another shot because he missed 5 games last year...

5. Jacoby: This guy is primed to make a huge impact this year.

6. Holliday: Thinking too much...I give him one more preseason game...

7. Molden: Just happy to see him on the field...He actually held his own pretty well...

8. EMitch: Showed some penetration but almost useless with the bull rush or when he's doubled...

9. Studdard: One of the reasons why Slaton had such a poor performance...Got blew up one too many times.

10. White: See Studdard...I almost thought he was Caldwell (63 vs. 62) out there...not in play though.

11. Oline: As a unit they looked like night and day after the 1's left the game...

12. Red Zone: playcalling was less than par and execution was even worse on some occassions. Before Slaton fumbled that ball, if DanO would have thrown that quick screen to Jacoby a little quicker that would have been a TD.

Overall: very impressed with the 1's both offense and defense...

Interesting note: how did it take the coaching staff so long to notice that Arian Foster could be a great back for our team. It wasn't like he had so much talent in front of him.
