Koppen is becoming one of the best Cs in the NFL.
I like the little bit I have seen of Chad Jackson. Nothing super yet, but Ive seen flashes. He and Maroney have added more speed to the O than we have had in a long time.
Faulk makes plays. Its too bad he has those 2 games every year that he should have stayed in bed. Hopefully no more this year.
I've been intrigued by Caldwells run after the catch potential. We havent seen a ton of chances for it yet, but its there. He did a GREAT job getting the first down after the catch near the sideline yesterday, turnign inside. It was all move. The DB never expected him to run almost east/west after the catch. The DB was in perfect position to stop the run after catch but instead of turning and running he ran laterally first to create separation.
Watson keeps getting better, but the 2 fumbles were concerning.
Graham seems good for one key reception every game. Sometinmes its a short yardage TD catch, sometimes its the big play up the seam, but every game (the ones he plays in) he seems to get a big play reception.
Heath Evans is the best runner at FB on the dive from the I that we have had. We tried hard to use Marc Edwards effectively that way, with mixed results, and havent done a whole lot since, but Evans looks good on those carries.
Someone out of Gabriel, Jackson or Gaffeny is going to become a big part of the O before the end of the year. The opportunity is there, and they have seemed to be splitting a lot of work, but I think one of the 3 (Jackson is my guess) will start contributing heavily.
With Jackson I have seen somewhat of an effort to involve him with certain plays, incluing throwing to him on screens when the game is out of reach.
I think this should be part of the plan. I'd like to see him in the game full time for a few series, with him featured. You can assure he gets the ball if you do screens or reverses, (not double reverses please) and getting some experience with the ball in his hands would be good. I'd also like to see him return kicks and punts, at least late in the game when we lead.
Ideally, Id like to see him ramped up over the next 5 weeks to a full time player. Giving him 'easy touches' may help.
Gostkowski really has a powerful leg. Last I checked he is 2nd in the NFL in KO distance behind the Denver K, and they have an automatic 7 yard headstart,.
