3 and out...
At least Craft didn’t force a throw, and gained a couple yards
by bruinhoo on Sep 1, 2008 7:10 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
At least he made a good decision
By taking off with it and not forcing it in there again.
by norcald503 on Sep 1, 2008 7:11 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Craft looked a bit better..
…but you got to put the ball in a place for your WR to make the play. Throwing behind a guy like Johnson on a quick slant isn’t going to work. Get the ball to him in stride and he can make something happen.

Hard to catch a ball behind you...
…esp. when you’re running a slant.

What I've noticed
Is that since Paulsen went down, we haven’t looked at the TE again (except for when Craft tried to force a pass to Moya, which they took back for that damn TD).

No update since that first half update. He was on the sideline in pads standing on his own; I was wondering if they would shut him down or if he would come back.
As to that, still no update, although I suspect he’s done for the game.

First holding penalty?
Under KD, at this time, we’d have at least 5 holding penalties.

We had a bit of a drive, gave the defense a bit of rest, and pushed them back up the field.

Don't know if it's all good
but it’s a hell of a lot better than an INT
by impaulv on Sep 1, 2008 7:23 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly
Given the first half, I’ll take it. We are still down by only 7 and our defense got some much needed rest.
We just need to keep it close going into the fourth quarter.
by norcald503 on Sep 1, 2008 7:25 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Beautiful
Defense forced a fumble in the red zone, offense got a bit of a drive, defense got a rest, and Tenn. starts at their own 20. If the defense can pick up another stop, we’ll be in solid field position.

Phew
Dodged a bullet there … unfortunately they have discovered Norris.
by Nestor on Sep 1, 2008 7:28 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Norris won't be a liability...
…if we can get more pressure on Crompton. But to do so, our defense needs some rest and for that to happen, Craft needs to sustain a drive, even if just for a FG.
Forbath is a stud. We got to play field position and pick up points when our offense sputters.
by norcald503 on Sep 1, 2008 7:29 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Which, I think, means...
…no more forcing the long throw and dumping it off on a check down and taking 3 or 4 yards and helping set up a FG.

Good Hold By Our "D"
Gotta admit that was a beautiful throw by Crompton; I though his receiver had it until I saw the replay.

We have two weeks to go back to practice, look at film, and iron out the kinks in our game. If we can get to the point where Craft doesn’t look terrible in the first half, we’ll be able to play with a lot of teams.
