Just finished watching the game. Thoughts:
- Stanzi wasn't as bad as everyone is trying to make it out to be around here. Piss poor blocking by Allen, the RG and the FB lead to bad plays. He showed nice touch on the ball and looked okay to me.
- Branden Albert sucks. No shit. Serious. Guy is a lunger. Horrible footwork.
- Dontari Poe is horrible. Third quarter in a single series he let the running back go right past him three times. Got stood up by the center or guard all night on single teams. His football skill level is near zero. He's going to require some serious coaching and time to become a decent football player if it even ever happens.
- I'd like to see Brady Quinn play with the first team. I'm sick of watching Matt Cassel go through a single receiver progression and dump it off to the safety valve running back. I'm also sick of Cassel throwing the ball into the facemasks of the defense. Quinn, playing with the thirds, was a better QB by a long shot.
- Dexter McCluster looked pretty damn good and made several nice catches.
- Peyton Hillis is a horse and looks ready to mow people down.
- Michael Brockers owned Lilja. Owned. Allen looked like shit. Harris looked like shit. Left guard is a concern.
- Jerrell Powe needs to get first team reps. He's made some really nice plays in two straight games. Filled the gaps well while he was on the field and got two really nice QB pressures against the Rams.
- Kevin Boss is a major, major upgrade over Pope and I have no worry if Moeaki falls apart in 2012. Boss can play.
- Jalil Brown stood out on several plays. Showed nice coverage at CB and gets after it on special teams.
