I watched the game in a buzzed state on Saturday, so here is my not so professional opinion.
Mosley can run the scout team from now on. I don't care if he ever sees the field again. He is scared out there.
Trotter played like he had something to prove. He hit Blake in the gut on a first down that was dropped, hit Lutz who dropped that would have been a TD or real damn close and Fulse missed an easy pitch and catch that should have been a TD. 11/18 for 175 with a TD. Should have been 14/18, with at least 15 to 25 more yards and 2 TD's. Fraizer still looks a little timid, and maybe it's b/c he looks so awkward running to me, but I think he still isn't use to the speed of the game and that will come with time. Hopefully......
WR's.....Blake is awesome. Please come back. Lutz dropped two that is unlike him. Reed, Bray and Stallworth needs to step it up.
Our running game was good. Mason, 64 on 9 carries. He hits the hole with bad intentions. OMac played like a man trying to improve his draft status. Hell, even slow ass Trotter had 5 carries for 32 yards. We showed that we could get it done without Dyer. I stop short of saying we didn't miss or won't need him. With Mason, Blakely, Robinson and Grant, we may not need him, but he will be missed. Let's hope he does what is needed and gets his head on straight.
Our OLine played with a mean streak. I liked it. I saw guys still fighting after the whistle. I saw Mosely looking for people to hit down field and that is something I haven't seen from them all year. They allowed some pressure, but at least they weren't quitting. Go back and watch some games this year and you will see that we didn't do that much at all. Seriously could have been the best performance by them all year.
Our special teams made Beamer Ball look shameful. They played lights out and I along with some others are eating our words we said about Boluware in 09. Give that man a raise.
The D.....Oh our D. We play great, get a punt, then come back to only have them go 60 yards at will and score. Our DB's still get beat and can't get off blocks. Our LB's played good at times and piss poor at times. Once the line came on, the LB's were able to do their thing a little better. I thought the line was solid for most of the night once the game got rolling. It struggled early, but came on strong.
I saw enough to make me believe that if he finish this class out strong, have another year of Yoxersice, and make the right hires that we will have what it takes to win 10 in 2012 and maybe, if Fraizer or Pike works out, we can make a run for Atlanta in 2013. We have some talent. We are young, need experience and need some strength.
