Pos

+ Kevin King looks like he could be a good pick.   Tackled well and played aggressive. 

+ Monty had a good game. 

+ Cobb, before getting hurt in a game that was essentially over, was playing well.

 

Negs

- Randall, House, Rollins played scared.

- Watching Rodgers get decleated in a meaningless situation. 

- Too many more to list.   I didn't expect a victory, but disappointing to not even compete.

Adams, Cobb, Ty, King, Clay and may Martinez all played fairly well.

HHCD was invisible. 

Jake Ryan was a step slow all night long.

Martellus Bennett was ineffective even if the OPI was BS.

Trying to figure out why Lance Kendricks was signed with all the Richard Rodgers love.

Jamal Williams shows nothing at RB.

Beginning to wonder what Trevor Davis offers when we already have 1 WR who does nothing but STs. (I mean no Jordy, no Cobb, and still no T. Davis).

Kyler Fackrell should be the 6th OLBer when Brooks & Biegel get healthy. And yes, I know that means there are only 4 OLBs ahead of him.

Q. Rollins and D. Randall played just like they did in Atlanta last season, and that has got to be concerning unless they too were part of the walking wounded.

Adams, Cobb and King all had nice games. Both tackles didn't embarrass themselves.

-

Game wasn't as close as the score indicated. Secondary was porous and tackling was poor. Gap between the teams really doesn't appear to have narrowed to a significant degree since the playoff loss. No need to keep AR in the game to get punished when the game is out of reach.

Goood points on Murphy and the Nitro at the goal line.    

Murphy looks like he is at least a great bargain for a swing tackle and at best a potential replacement for Bulaga if injuries get the best of him in the next couple years.   It makes the Spriggs miss easier to stomach too.  

As far as Mr.Wizard revolutionary approach to goal line D, not only did he go with 2 DL, I believe we also had Burnett still playing ILB.   Who would have thought to try and run for 2 yards against that?   Just a bad break I guess.

RBs are at least adequate, if not solid.
TEs are contributing, both blocking and receiving.
DL is still playing well.
Matthews finally showed up.
King looks like a player.

Rodgers reverting to TOG-mode in desperation. Totally out of character.
OL. We've got a couple of guys that can play G, we've got a couple of guys that can't  play T, and another guy that is not playing well at C. ARod took some brutal hits tonight.
DBs were (are?) a big disappointment. It's pretty clear we still can't cover elite WRs, and can't defend a potent passing attack. House has not impressed in the least, Randall was putrid, Rollins looked lethargic; even Burnett and HHCD are not playing particularly well.

Injuries. In light of some posts made in another thread concerning the type of field, the Patriots replacing it, etc., I have to wonder if it caused or contributed to any of our injuries. Quads and hammies to multiple players on both teams? Seems a bit more than coincidental.
In any case, I certainly hope none of these are serious. I think we could hold serve at DL and WR, but we need Bak and Bulaga in the worst way!

According to @PFF, Randall and Rollins allowed 10 catches on 11 targets for 148 yards tonight.

Would be nice if Thompson would draft some defense at the top of the draft for him for once so Capers wouldn't be hamstrung with all these street FAs out there. 

When he drafts guys that can't run or tweeners who can't play either position well, it shows up on the field.
