Exhibition Game Two
The in-laws are now gone, so I have a few minutes to toss out a few thoughts about the romp over Atlanta.Three of the touchdowns came off of deflections. I put all of them in the "fluke" category.
Tony Moll held his own, which upgrades the offensive line to it's 2005 level. Take that any way you wish ...
I'm liking McCoach's plays, they remind me a lot of the Holmgren era. Receivers clearing out zones, catching passes underneath coverage, the precision chess match, ...and Favre excelled at it.
The secondary got toasted again, and absent a few blitzes, the pressure was few and far between. I'm afraid this might become a bigger problem when the real bullets start flying.
It was nice to see some spirit, some aggression, and even some smiles out there. Up until this game, it seemed like no one smiled. They were the most tense group of pro athletes I've ever seen.
The mystery of the dumb pen sticking out of the back of McCoach's hat was solved, ...he got that idea from Jon Gruden and has yet to realize how stupid it looks. It's a little too "Tice-like" for me.
