- Our OL was horrible. They got ZERO push in the running game, and they got their butts kicked in the passing game. And not just Torrin Tucker. Flozell gave up a sack, Rivera gave up a sack, Gurode had a couple of penalties. The only guy I think that didn't do something negative was Larry Allen, but I may have just missed something with him.
- Pass rush still sucks. Yes, I saw a little bit of improvement. If you want to compare it to last year, fine you can say they looked ok. But I want to compare them to great pass rushing teams, and in doing that, they looked bad. Ware looked ok a couple of times, but after he beats his man to the outside he needs to cut down his angle. If he doesn't, he'll be another Ebenezer Ekuban. It's not enough to beat your man to the outside, you have to cut down the angle and hit the QB or else he'll just step up and you run right by.
- Tackling was subpar. Maybe Parcells needs to let these guys tackle eachother once or twice a week?
- Romo and Henson both looked solid despite not having very much time to throw. Forget Henson's stats (not even sure what they were), he had a solid game. If he'd had a little bit of time to throw he may have done something.
- Tyson Thompson looked good, but if there's one thing I know a lot about it's RBs, and he needs to be more patient running the football. He won't be able to just run outside for 10+ yard gains against 1st team defenses. He needs to be patient and set up the block of that pulling guard (that he just kept out running every play). I think he makes the team though. We need explosive players like that on the team. He did miss the block at the end where Henson got hit as he threw. He needs to get the mental part of his game down.
- Stephen Peterman should be forced to walk back to Oxnard. Cundiff makes the game winning FG but Peterman gets called for a false start. I don't care if it's only a preseason game. If he can't keep his head in the game in the preseason, then he can't do it in the regular season. Stupid stupid stupid stupid penalty.
- If I'm not mistaken it's illegal to hit the QB in the face after he throws the ball. Someone needs to let teh Arizona DL and the officials know about this rule.
- Overall I'm disappointed, even if it is only a preseason game. Even if it is only the FIRST preseason game, I'm still disappointed. Don't preach to me "It's just the first preseason game, they'll turn it around before the regular season starts" BS. They looked crappy in last year's first preseason game too, and they didn't turn a dang thing around. At least they didn't look flat out there (not completely). But they did get beat up by the Arizona OL and DL (mainly their DL). Does our OL ever hit the sled? Cuz on running plays I saw our OL getting driven backwards. That's NOT suppose to happen.
