QB: D We all see the same thing, so I wont preach to the choir. From a management standpoint, I'm sure Malik looks better in practice - but when the lights are on, kid isn't relaxed, doesn't see the field and is wildly inaccurate. Perry still has some room to grow, but throws a great deep ball, and runs well... So it's time to put in some Overtime hours with the kid, to get a better grasp on the management portion of the offense; to dethrone Rosier before Week 5-6. Grading this unit on a curve due to horrible OL play, and the OC being guilty of not doing more to put the QB in better situations with play calling; like using motion to help with pre-snap reads, etc... Young guys C+
RB: B The OL is affecting every offensive unit, but th fact is we have guys that can play - top to bottom. Spreading the field wide (which i elude to more below) will loosen up the box to help us pick up some decent yardage, because we're far from a smash-mouth team.
WR: B+This rating comes partly on the back of Jeff Thomas, who has been spectacular, largely because Coach Dugans is doing great stuff with these guys. Also, partly due to the fact that its no fault to this group that we've been inadequate in getting the ball to them. Would like to see us open the offense up by going to 4 WR sets some parts of the game, to include Richard & Hightower out wide and Thomas & Harley or Pope in the slot. If we had a competent QB, spread would be a nightmare... It may be the cure for our current offensive line woes, though Malik is no Kayaa mentally. Still, we have way too much talent at WR to with the standard sets majority of the time.
TE: -B Can't really blame these guys for anything. They're all young, and have been pushed into the fire with any glaring mistakes as of yet. We've decided to emphasized our TE's in our game-plan, but I think we're better suited to bring the TE's along slowly. Run-blocking is critical for each of their game, and they should improve in time. Future looks bright.
OL: -D The performance of our OL has been a flat out F, but Coach Searles is a big part of the blame... This unit has been better at Pass-blocking than Run-blocking in recent history; but now, even that is starting to suck. I am not impressed with anything this guy is coaching, granted this clip isn't the whole practice. Still, he's trying to talk them through a bunch of pop-waner stuff, like punching a bag, but isn't giving them much on being physical/technically sound at the point of attack. ...Guys are walking around, because he's doing walk through's with every drill. Heck, if big husky guys aren't sweating through their jerseys then they ain't doing crap. Well just take a look.
Its sad because the OL affects every unit, and plays a huge role in us moving he ball every play. We've had a number of talented guys cycle through this position group. It seem the big ugly's lose their aggression over time with Searles... I'm sure he's a good guy, but we need someone more dynamic at this spot. Coaching has to be the issue here.
