Here we go again.
Another week with LT injured, and Merriman a non factor due to his groin injury.
We lean on .43 cent and Mr. English to step up for our two injured warriors.
.43 stepped up as expected, but our running game was dismal in not only the first half, but the entire game.
Was pleased to see the D step up after the first drive when they allowed the Dolphins to get down to the one.....which resulted in the Bolts winning the lottery with the fumble out of the back of the end zone. They seemed to stabilize as the former Enterprise Rent a Car Associate Nwagbuo showed up today and filled in reasonably well for Jamal.
We saw the offense opening up as expected with the injuries we have encountered early on. Seeing Malcom Floyd get the 46 yrd catch down the middle followed up on the following possession by the 50+ yrd catch by Vincent Jackson was what we can expect over the next few weeks. Let's not forget about Gates who had his fair share of catches today for a good amount of yrds. Also liked the screen to Naanee, and the fun with .43 tossing the ball back to Rivers for the completion to Gates.
Again today we had to witness the field goals vs. the touchdowns. Can not continue this lack of scoring. On top of that Nate can not be missing any, especially a 41 yarder to end the half and give us the lead.
Next week we will need the Defense to again step up big and we cannot settle for field goals. The Steelers will put up a fight on their home field, but as we have seen over the last two weeks they are not the Super Bowl team of '08 and their defense has shown that they have holes we can exploit with our passing game.
Sunday Night Football is the prime time for us to show our real colors.
Have a great week all, in preparation for our Sunday Night Showdown.
Go BOLTS!

Editor's Note:
- I'll choose to refer to Nwagbuo as Photo Unavailable rather than the Former Enterprise Rent A Car associate. Not a dig on the Spartan alum but more on the site administrators that can't seem to round up a head-shot. C'mon now!
- A win is a win....but I'm not bespectacled with the rose tinted variety like my compadre, the CFIDL. I'm still digesting...
We dominated yesterday
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'd say we dominated but we did win. There could be things worse than going to Pittsburgh at 2-1.
