Just a few post game observations:
Cruzer
- We won but it wasn't pretty.
- The defense played well again. That said, we still haven't played anyone. Syracuse is terrible. Their offensive line can't block anyone. 16 sacks in two games? They're horrible so it's hard to say just how good the defense is having played two crappy teams.
- Our offense really needs work. Run blocking isn't very good. Our RB's are very pedestrian. Why AJ Davis ever sees the field is beyond my comprehension. He's not strong, can't make you miss, can't break tackles and has bad hands. Vince Davis is better but he's not much to watch either. Sibley is another very average guy. What Abanikanda didn't play (at least I didn't see him) is a mystery.
- We were extremely sloppy today. Many penalties and at least 2 or 3 were illegal procedure penalties for 5 guys in the backfield. Jeez, getting lined up correctly is pretty basic. What the heck are these guys doing in practice all week?
- Pickett played pretty well most of the game. One thing he really needs to work on is touch on the short swing passes. Several times he gunned the ball high. That's the kind of ball that results in a pick 6.
- Kessman should change his name to Messman.... he was simply terrible. He better find some accuracy because you can't leave 9 points on the field against a good team.
