I am not really into blaming players on our team. But the truth has to be said. I'm sick of seeing threads acting like Roy is the problem.
Lets look at what was supposed to be the biggest defensive stand of the game for our team and who came thru and who did'nt. We take the lead 24-21 go back on defense and need a stop. If we stop them i personally think we dont look back and win the game.
First play Tom Brady in the shotgun and throws to Randy Moss on about a 15 yard dig route. Bradie James dropped back in the zone where Moss was but Tom Brady pretty much ignored him and threw it anyway right over James head and who came up to make the tackle? Roy Williams knocked the crap outta Moss on a low tackle that i am surprised Moss got up from.
Second play a run to the right. James makes the tackle but the runner get another yard after first contact. Kevin Faulk? OK Bradie. Run was for 9 yards.
Third play Tom Brady throws into double coverage to Moss but the ball was overthrown. If it was a good throw it probrably would've gotten intercepted or batted down. Good job by Reeves and Hamlin. Bradie did'nt do anything.
Fouth play of the drive Bradie blitzes and KNOCKS DOWN ONE OF OUR LINEMAN! Whew, great job. That gave Brady even more time to hit Wes Welker who was guarded by Nate Jones for a first down.
Fifth play run to the right. Spears makes a tackle for no gain. But judging from what i see on this board Spears sucks. Good play Marcus.
Sixth play of the drive. Quick pass to Wes Welker on Newman gain of 5. Newman missed the tackle by the way.
Seventh play of the drive. Bradie James actually gets to Brady. But of course it was a little too late and Tom Brady hit Gaffney for a first down on Jacque Reeves in 1 on 1 coverage. I think Reeves should win that battle!
Eight play Bradie and Ayodele blitz. Does'nt matter because again Brady threw a quick pass to Stallworth on Newman for 10 yards. He kept doing that quick pass that teams do when its a run play, but if the qb sees the corner playing off he just throws it to the reciever quick. You can tell Newman does'nt trust his speed at the moment. Last year he was up in recievers face every play.
Ninth play. Another quick pass, this time to Moss. Newman finally sniffs this one out for no gain.Next play is the interference call on Pat Watkins. If you watch the play Bradie tried to drop into zone on the side Moss was on, but Randy ran a stop and go. So basically Bradie was guarding the air.
On the biggest defensive drive of the game I saw alot of our players make mistakes and none of them were the D line or the safeties. It was our corners and our middle linebacker. But im not gonna rain on anyones parade. ROY WILLIAMS SUCKS!
