It doesnt matter whether it was the 1st, 2nds or 3rds out there, the tackling was poor. And even if OC and Henry played well into the 3rd you have to show some spirit and motivation. There were a few who showed their metal though, Butler was obvious but I also thought Law Firm (BJGE) and Slater showed determination and aggression despite their ball handling mistakes.
Biggest disappointments were Crable (what speed and cover skills?), Wheatley (regressed) and Chung (not a returner from what he showed last night). I note from Reiss that BB was not happy; so the Ndukwe comment is justified bragging rights.

I agree with everything you said. As for whatever his name's bragging rights...who's cares? It's preseason. Was that the Super Bowl last night? Let's see where his GREAT team is at the end of the season.
What I care about is that the ENTIRE team, with the exception of a few played awful. They took a step back, IMO. I hope BB works them to death this week. Bad Tackling, bad drops, bad fundamentals, and the OL PISSED ME OFF ALL NIGHT. Laurence Maroney? I don't know what to think about him anymore. WE haven't had a great back since Corey Dillon. I am really starting to miss him.
