A few a few initial comments:
1. Taylor did an excellent job today. He's a great example of the value of a guy sitting and waiting to play. This guy is NOT a rooke. He's been in the league for 5 years now. He might not have seen a lot of snaps in real games, but he's been around for a while.
2. Greg Roman - The announcers could say enough great things about Greg Roman. IIRC he was the OC with the Niners, so he has experience with a QB with Taylor's talents.
3. I didn';t see a lot of Read options or planned QB runs, though that doesn't mean we won't. Taylor IS a threat to run and will be difficult to sack on the rush. He was better than I thought he'd be, not that the Colt D is a juggernaut,
4. This is a group of offensive skil players who might be as good as the Pats see all year. I really like their rookie RB, and have always been a fan of McCoyy. So I doubt we;ll see much 4-2 - 5 this week.
5. Lots of penalties. Lots of sloppy game management.and wasted TO;s Lots of HC camera time. So in other words, I typical Rex Ryan game
6
6. Home field will be a huge advantage this week. The home crowd will just make the job of our suspect OL even more difficult..
7/ SOP. for a game like this used to be spreading them out and pick them apart. Literally pick them apart with picks.
Just like in the Seattle game,, not many vertical routes.
8. This is ALWAYS a tough game even when they haven had a lot less talent at the skill positions. So look for a barn burner on the road.
9. Rex will want to run the ball/short pass us and keep time of possession in his favor. That's not a game day strategy, that;s a coaching philosophy
10. This very easily can become a loss and a big one, if we aren't carefull and take care of the ball. I don't think anyone will be shocked if we don't come out with a win
