I DVRed the game and watched it yesterday and here are my Cheers and Jeers from what I saw.


Cheers:

Ramon Humber - He did great filling in for Curtis Lofton. He was very active, made great reads and was always in the backfield.

Jeers:

Will Smith - He is just so damn bad at the OLB spot. The one time he wasn't blocked he got to the QB and still didn't bring him down cleanly. A decent QB would have gotten away from him.

Cheers:

Kenny Vaccaro - He didn't make any spectacular plays, but the kid was all over the field and showed the attitude and hustle this defense needs.

Jeers:

Jed Collins - I was really watching Mark Ingram, but as I watched and rewatched all of his runs, I noticed that Collins missed his block and didn't block anyone about five times in a row. He'd just run around or through the line for about eight yards and then just turn around. Even in pass protection he didn't look great, rarely chiping on a guy before he released out of the backfield. I expected Smith to look bad, but not Collins.

Cheers:

Ryan Griffin - He may have been the 2nd best QB to take the field on Friday. That's not saying much, but the kid is impressing the hell out of me. If he continues to play this well, I wouldn't mind if Payton made him the back up this year. And actually, I'd like to see him maybe get some snaps with the second team.

Jeers:

Damn the Raiders are terrible!!!

Cadet looked bad on Friday. Not helping himself make this team.

Cheers:

Yeah, these two guys are good.


Jodan is still playing well, although I think the Raiders make it look too easy.


Foster has continued to impress. He and Jenkins have really taken over that second unit.


They continue to feed Stills and he continues to step up. Really nice showing from the rookie.



Anyone else see anything they really liked or didn't like on Friday? (Besides Ingram)

The time Smith got immediate pressure, he was simply unblocked. He played better than the week before, but still.

Humber played really well; Hawthorne was decently solid. Ingram had a decent game. And Toon's long catch was also nice to see.

I'd like to cheer for Charlie Brown, too.

Watson lined at FB for Ingrams TD and was the reason he went in basically untouched. I could see us using this formation more considering drew likes to use FB as safety valve.

Collins is definitely on the bubble.

Diagree on the qb situation, McCown should be our #2
