Hope so.

Sherrod really needs to come through this season. Hopefully he'll have several months to improve before he is needed. Well, hopefully he won't be needed at all, but I think we all know that's unlikely.

Granted, the Rams have an above average D-Line, and granted, our run blocking was good, and maybe I'm hoping for too much, but I'd really like to see what the greatest QB in the NFL could do if he had consistent time to throw it downfield.

Yes, the pocket may not be great, but would you rather see a perfect pocket on a 3 and out?

Finding complaints about the #1 offense in this game is like a Seahawk fan whining about how crappy their punting was in the SuperBowl game.

My takeaways:
-Hayward looks good
-starting OL looked great
-the TE competition is lame. No standouts.
-janis fast
-Flynn's noodle arm is a real problem
-Peppers still has some gas in the tank
-Sherrod was awful
- HHCD did not look good, whiffed tackles and iffy coverage on deep routes.
- too many wide open, uncontested Ram WRs
- Eddie Lacy is Eddie Lacy

I didn't see th whole game but I heard it reported that HHCD actually looked good and Hyde didn't.

The O-Line looked good but I also read that Rodgers averaged less than 2.4 secs getting rid of the ball. That's smart play calling and his immense talent, but as Tex opointed out, it's not Brady-Like time to throw.

My impression of the defense was that it was awesome against the run, and coverage was way better than last year. I thought Bradford made some great throws and there isn't much to be done about that. I would like to see more pass rush but at least if teams are going to score, I think they are going to have to work for it.

One thing I don't see getting mentioned much is Brad Jones has been making a lot of plays so far. Would be a huge boost if he plays like this in reg season.

I thought Flynn looked good. Yeah he doesn't have a canon, but "noodle arm" I think is selling him short

The first string offense and run defense was the shining part of the team in week 2. Rodgers was on top of his game and had fantastic pocket awareness. Sure, he doesn't have "Tom Brady-pocket time" but he also doesn't need it. Rodgers likes to move around in the pocket and has the mobility to do so. He isn't running for his life every single play. I would prefer not to discredit the starting offensive line so far with the way they have played the last two weeks. Let's talk about the way they have been run-blocking as well...just solid all around play from the 5.

Pass defense and 2nd string offensive line was the bad part of week 2. Somehow, Rams receivers were still running wide open. A dig route comes to mind and I don't know if it was Tramon's fault or if he was expecting help over the top from a safety. Either way, that will come down to communication once again. This bothers me because for the most part, the defensive line was putting some pretty good pressure on Bradford when the starters were out.
Sherrod had a bad start but picked up his game. We shouldn't really get worked up over some bad plays in one preseason game. He was still going against decent competition in the 2nd quarter and he also played well against Tennessee. I am sure there is still rust to knock off. Dorsey had two poor plays in a row. A dropped pass near the endzone (hit him right in the hands) and a missed block on a screen the play after.

Tight end is going to be a story until the end of week 4 preseason or maybe even into the season when they decide to go with a TE-by-committee until one of them actually rises above the rest. My money is still on Richard Rodgers to come through as he has shown he can move around in any position. He was more of an H-back on Saturday afternoon. Quarless' stats are padded from his big catch in which Rodgers created more time (because he doesn't have Tom Brady time).

Ted Thompson better make some room for Janis and Pennel on the 53. No friggin' way these two guys will survive on the practice squad. Let's not forget, Janis is doing some great things with only one week of physical play under his belt. I have a feeling he is going to shine more and more as the preseason goes on. Pennel has come from no where since camp started and the defensive line can surely use that presence and rotation.

Knock out some of the stupid penalties that they had and this team is going to do some really good things this year.
