and Santana Moss, and Carlos Rogers, and Fred Smoot, and your pass-rush
Santana- Was open a lot, but most of the throws were off target. I wish we would have at least tried a deep pass to him (although, I bet he was being doubled on most of the deep routes, which is why we didnt trry to throw it).
Rogers- I have always liked Rogers, and while most skin fans were fast to jump on this offseason, I have defended him (which is probably why my opinion is biased). But this is my take on him. At halftime I thought Rogers did a great job. Through almost the first quarter and a half, I thought he did great. It seemed as though Miami was almost scared to throw to his side. They kept trying to throw towards Smoot most of the first half (which turned out successful). The only play I can really remember Rogers getting beat on was the short 5 yards TD pass. The second half, he did get beat quite a bit. There was about a 2 minute span were he got beat 3 times in a row I believe. All in all though- I though he should turn out to be a decent #2 corner, and be ok to fit in with this defense.
Fred Smoot- He made some good plays, and made some bad plays. Played a lot more mediocur then I would like, however, did bring that fire back to our defense. I love seeing his enthusiasim on the field, and hopefully will be a decent playher for us this year.
Pass Rush- I wont deny that our pass rush just wasnt there. After seeing Carter get that early sack, I thought that our defensive might have chaged, but that obviously isnt the case. I think it is pretty obvious that we will need to blitz a lot to get pressure on the QB (something I dont think we did a lot of today)
