Rich Musinski - Earned his first start. 2 catches for 33 yards according to one graphic with a few minutes left in the game. Was the target on an int where the MLB undercut the route - the color man was a QB in Barcelona and a running QB at Howard, he claimed the int was Rich's mistake for continuing the route instead of cutting it off and squatting in a seam of the zone - I couldn't say one way or the other on the specifics of route running - he did make a nice tackle on the MLB. Rich made a great reception on a sideline go route that got him behind the CB, if the QB hadn't overthrown it a tad he would have been in for a TD, as it was, he went up for the ball and managed to get his feet down in bounds before going out. He blocked an OLB on a run play at the beginning were I saw a stretched jersey, but no flag and the LB was out of the play....He was on the KO unit and showed some excellent hustle, on the KR unit he had a really nice block on a long gainer called back when one of his buds pulled some jersey. Not a great day, but none of the WRs for Berlin did any better.
Jeff Roehl - Handled this DE pretty well last time, but was working a lot harder this time. In most cases he controlled the guy, but he did get burned, possibly because the national player had learned some better technique since week one and surprised him. Was beaten once for a TFL. Probably should have been flagged for holding 2-3 times. Did a nice job of sealing the end on plays outside the tackle, and looked good when he pulled. Fair at the second level, no where near as smooth as Steitz. His LG and he had some communications issues that hurt a little. A pretty good outing, he got a good workout and didn't let the QB get killed more than once on a delayed blitz that caught him inside.
RB Marty Johnson, 5’11†225 Free Agent out of Utah did a very nice job of running withn power and speed, made a WR leap, catch, twist, and two feet down play in the back of the end zone, as well as one more catch I can remember. I'd be talking to him about pushing Patrick Pass if he can put together another game like this.
PK Ryan Killeen, a Seattle allocation out of USC, is one to watch. 48 TBs on 92 KOs at USC, 4 for 5 or 5 for 6 in NLFE so far, long of 44, 1 blocked.
