dave mcbride Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 some team stats: kickoff returns - 1st in the nfl kickoff coverage - tied for 2nd in the nfl defense - 10th overall; 1st against the pass, 30th against the run points given up per game - 6th overall takeaway/giveaway ratio - 3rd overall offense - 29th overall; 31st for passing, 6th for rushing points per game - 26th overall punting - 5th overall kicking - 4th in points, 8th in accuracy (7 teams have kickers who haven't missed at all yet) basically, they're great on special teams, great against the pass, very strong running the ball, weak at passing, and weak at defending the run. given the team's personnel situation, it's entirely predictable.

JP may or many not be the answer at QB; all I am saying is that we need better QB play. Holcomb looks much better than JP but is not the long-term answer. I think he has completed exactly one pass that went more than 10 yards past the line of scrimmage (yesterday to Campbell). Contributions from Roscoe and the TE from Miami would also help the passing game. It would also be great if we could lock up McGee to an extension, since: 1. we are almost certainly going to lose clements 2. McGee, when he becomes a free agent (is it after next year?), will probably get an offer in the neighborhood of the one that clements gets this year. He's a pretty good corner and a huge weapon in the return game. Moulds, btw, is playing great. It helps to have someone who can actually deliver a pass. Holcomb will be the key to beating the Raiders. If we don't win that game we have no shot at the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
