RM's Game Notes: Preseason Game 3 - Cardinals vs. Raiders

[PJ1]

Was it just me, or was this literally the longest game.. ever?!

Seemed like an eternity. One of the Raider drives that was kept alive by dumb plays and the officials seemed to go on forever.

Flemming was jobbed by the refs all night long.

Called for pass interference, twice, and a personal foul; none of which should have been called as they were all legit plays.

I guess the refs don't regularly see defensive backs cover that well, in high school games.

A couple revisions...

6-Heap gets beat, not Colledge. Colledge pulls to kick out the outside defender, takes a bad angle, but still makes the block. Levi blocks down, but Heap can't cut off the outside linebacker who knifes in from the backside of the play causing Ryan Williams to stutter after which he is swallowed up.

12-This one is on Daryl Washington. Bradley is late getting across from the backside, but Washington takes on the lead blocker with his OUTSIDE arm thus pushing the play AWAY from his help inside. Washington HAS to take on the blocker with his INSIDE arm which pushes the running back towards his help.

GREAT post Rugby, Thanks.

Nice follow up Choppper.

It takes an ASFN village to view a game.

Not sure what Whis is thinking here.

Engineer thoughts.

Some real cry babies around here

Nothing wrong with the way Whiz handled Skelton last night.

No problems with how CKW handled Skelton at all. His hedging just reeks of 'Kolb apology' syndrome

Nah it reeks of I saw I needed to see. I'm not gonna risk him with the 2nd team OL which is painfully worse than the 1st team OL.

I will add on to that thought.

Whiz saw what he needed to.

Skelton is setup for the game against the Titans. Come in, play well, DO NOT TURN THE BALL OVER, and the job is yours.

If Skelton plays well, then I cannot see how anyone can not say he fairly has won the job. At least to be the starter week 1, and for the Cardinals to shift their attention to making the offensive suit Skelton's strengths.

Kolb has had his shot.
