Who's HOT / Who's NOT - New England Patriots Forums

***DaBruinz*** · 01-12-2008, 10:56 PM

HOT :

Laurence Maroney - The kid lit up the Jacksonville defense. 22 rushes for 122 yards, 1 TD and 2 receptions for 40 yards.

Tom Brady - 26/28 for 256 and 3 TDs. Damn near perfect.

Donte Stallworth - A key 53 yard reception basically sealed the game.

NOT:
Kick return team - Jackson averaged under 20 YPR. Part of that is him, but part of it was the blocking, or lack there of.

Pass Defense - The corners seemed to be playing too soft on the Wideouts and the coverage underneath was exploited all night long.

Refs - (only half joking since I needed a 3rd) Missed Facemask call on Terry Cousin. BS call on Samuel for a late hit. BS call on Neal for a chop block.

Not

"Got-three-ski" Missing a 35 yarder with the game tied - ouch. Nice he hit his second FG.

Hot = Seymour - was a beast out there tonight!

Hot - offensive line. Great in the running game, great in pass protection. Also, the Jaguars' offense was hot; played MUCH better than any of us expected.

DaBruinz 1- doesn't see the positive in CJ not fumbling. That is the major job, plus no holding penalties. He will eventually break one, but a fumble or muff would be distastrous.

DaBruinz 1A- Soft is a function of the defense. Didn't you read what Pees wrote. If you ain't blitzing in the first half then it makes it tough to cover a wr for the entire time.[/QUOTE]

I think you're searching for negatives.

All season teams have played the Pats close in the first half at times(minus the blowouts), then the Pats pull away in the 3rd quarter(i.e.- Giants).

Somehow, I knew that was going to happen.

That said, by the next kick, he was out of his funk.

We all know who was great tonight. Brady had a legendary performance. Maroney had a great game, the whole offense was excellent tonight.

For the bad?

Randall Gay and several others. Piss poor pass coverage, especially by Gay. Also a couple of personal fouls on Rodney and Samuel which really could ahve hurt.

Chad Jackson. Lame kick returns, rarely got past the twenty yardline. All the kick returns stunk..including Willie Andrews. I think he may have been returning because Hobbs was a little banged up and they didn't want him doing anything other than defense.

Stephen Neal and Nick Kaczur check in with a nice job. Put the ol in the who's hot category.

Other than missed fg only gripe is secondary play. And, they did play much better in the 2nd half.

HOT

McDaniels - One of the most imaginative gameplans we have had all years. McDaniels has finally figured out ways to get Maroney the ball to the outside.

Harrison - his game ending INT was defintely HOT.

NOT

Harrison - His two personal fouls

I'm just grateful Chad didn't fumble a kickoff. He only returned kickoffs in one game all season vs Pittsburgh. Throwing him out there in a playoff game showed alot of confidence in him. He didn;t help, but he didn;t hurt the team with a young player's mistake due to overaggression and a desire to make a play. I'll give him a pass.
