    Reed would not have caught that.

     

    Good punt by Moorman.

     

    Not a bad drive, but we need to make a statement.

     

    COME ON "D"!!!!!

    Atleast we could prove that we could move the ball a little against this New England team

    Just finished breaking down the tape......

    OK, I'm back with my final review of the scrimmage tonight.  For those that were a part of the scrimmage thread, I called a lot of the action and made some observations along the way.  But I said I had the right to change my mind after breaking down the tape.  So here it is.  It isn't real in deapth, but will answer many of your questions.  Here goes:

     

    OFFENSE - Unofficial Results

     

    QB

     

    JP  6 of 11 - looked in complete control for the most part.  Had 1 really bad pass that should have been picked and returned for a TD.  Very bad decision.  Otherwise, he looked comfortable and confident and made the right reads.  Although he missed some throws, outside of the 1 bonehead throw, he made the right reads.  Said he was sacked once, but it seemed to me he could have avoided that rush.

     

    Holcombe 3 of 4  Looked very sharp.  Very consistant.  Not really much else to say.

     

    Matthews 5 of 6 with 1 TD to Wilson.  Again, very efficient and no bad plays.  Looked very comfortable.  What you expect from a vet like him.

     

    Woodburry 2 of 2 with 1 TD.  The TD was to Ceislac (sp?) It will be interesting to see him play more.  Wasn't out there long enough for an evaluation, but for the time he was in there, I didn't really see a mistake.  Not only did he throw for a touchdown, but ran one in on a playfake bootleg.  GREAT FAKE, by the way.

     

    Overall, the QB play was very good all night!  Good signs!

     

    WR

     

    Catches - Moulds 1, Evans 0 (but had a great reverse play that went for a lot of yardage on opening play.  May have been a penalty call on the play, but it was still pretty), Parrish 3 (he was the highlight of the night.  Nobody can cover this guy.  Had a reverse as well that went for very good yardage.  He will be something special and will, NO DOUBT, be our # 3.  A great performance), Lee 2, Neufeld 1, Reed1, Campbell 2, Aiken 1, Haddad 1, Smith 1, Wilson 1 (TD), Peoplles 1, Ceislac (sp?) 1 (TD)

     

    Overall, a good performance by all the WRs.  Again, SCOE can't be covered!!!!  Watch out!

     

    DEFENSE

     

    All QBs combined were 11 of 28.

    The defense came up with 10 "sacks".  Now, I know in a scrimage they blow the whistle before the sack happens, but honestly, at least 7 of those would have been legit.  Possibly more. 

     

    The real meat and potatoes of the evaluation is this.......BLITZ, BLITZ, BLITZ, and BLITZ again.  I didn't count, but I would bet about 70% (at least) of the plays the Packers ran, the Bills blitzed.  They had constant pressure all night! 

     

    I thought they were a little soft against the run watching it the first time, but after reviewing the tape, outside of 2 runs, they were stuffing the Packers.

     

    My only concern about the defense was their goal line D.  During those drills, GB's WRs were getting wide open and they gave up all of their touchdowns by air (except the last which they fumbled and recovered in the endzone) and they all came during goal line drills.  NOT GOOD AT ALL.  But like I said when I was calling the action, I hope this keeps them humble and they will work 10X as hard not to allow this to happen again.  Overall, all of our defense was dominant.  The GB offense didn't get anything done!

     

    FINAL SCORE (assuming all extra points were made.....BIG IF)

    Bills 49

    Packers 28

     

    A little missleading because again, the Pack didn't move the ball at all.  They got all of their points inside the 5.  O well.......Here is how the scoring went for the Bills:

     

    McGee - would have scored on the opening kickoff.  Nobody touched him and they blew the whistle when he was in the clear.

    McGahee - 13 yard run

    McGahee - 6 yard run (they called him down at the 1 foot line, but after watching it again, I believe he did score)

    Lee - 1 yard run

    Wilson - 20 yard reception from Matthews (very nice)

    Ceislac (sp?) - 4 yard Reception from Woodburry

    Woodburry - 2 yard run

     

    So, that sums up the scrimage.  I took notes while watching it the second time.  Here are the notes:

     

    Evans reverse for huge yardage on opening play (holding penalty on ?)

    McGahee is a beast.  Looks faster and quicker (LAID OUT A DB WITH HIS STIFF ARM........Fantastic to watch)

    O - Line pass blocked well.  However, they got no push at the line of scrimmage, especially inside the 5.  No push at all.  That was the only worry about the O - Line tonight.  Otherwise, I thought they did well.

    Morman was solid.

    Again, more trouble run blocking.  McGahee did it by himself for the most part.

    Greer had a nice game.  Made some great plays including a downed punt at the 1.

    Stamer had a great game.

    1 Terrible pass by Losman.  Otherwise, he played well.

    JP had a score if he decided to scramble on 1 play, but instead overthrew a pass.

    Again, no push from the O - Line in goalline drills.

    Greer caused a Green Fumble that the Bills would have recovered.  Nice game.

    Bills were blitzing almost every play!!!!  About 75% at least!

    McGee got smoked on the 1st TD the Packers got.

    Linebackers (#55) got smoked on the second TD the Packers got.

    Overall, the Bills' goalline D need a lot of work.  Good run stuffing, but terrible in the pass.

    Parrish will be a key man this year.  He was constantly open and is super fast and quick.  Really nothing that we didn't know already, but he was undressing guys tonight.  It was something.

    As for the RBs - McGahee is a beast, Lee was OK, Williams was good, Burns was not, and Gates looked very impressive overall.  Look for him to move up the deapth chart!

     

    Anyways, there is my in deapth scrimmage review!!!!  I hope you all enjoyed it.  Please feel free sto reply and let me know what you all thought!!!

    Thanks so much for the recap sven, it is really appreciated. I live in Canada and could not watch this on tv like some people could so it was nice to read the in depth points that you had on the scrimage. I like the sound of McGahee doing well and JP atleast holding his own. Also impressed me that McGee would have had another TD off a kick off, sounds like he's left off where he did last season. Finally, I'm really amazed to hear about Parrish and how far he's come in such a short period of time. This guy is still a second rounder and i'm surprised he's makeing such a big impact in training camp. I've seen first rounders do much less. Well thanks again.

    Todd Pinkston out for season!

    That's probably because you really don't want to see one of your best defensive players leave. Give me a break, he is still a pro bowl calibre DT. He may not be worth the money he wants, but is still a good player and an upgrade without question over Edwards.

     

    It is funny tho on a side note how this trade might be "heating up". I thought this was still a RUMOUR! Funny how rumours can heat up.
