1. Schwartz looks like he is adapting to the RG position. It is easy to forget that he did not have OTAs or training camp at the position, and he played RT half the season. I saw good feet today. The RT job is the weakness. It would be nice knowing that RG has a player with a future.

2. Johnson and Hardy are going to be a top defensive end duo as soon as next year. Johnson will end the season with 10 or more sacks. Hardy showing flashes. Brown will also improve.

3. Clausen looked better. His attitude and leadership will improve, and with a decent OC/OL, he could become a game manager. This is positive news should we not get the first overall pick. Even if we do get Luck, Clausen might make a good backup and get the slow development he needs to be good.

4. Gettis and Lafell are looking much better. If somehow Edwards can step up, we might be good at WR in the future.

5. Goodson and Stewart make the pressure to re-sign DW less severe. Both are dangerous.

6. The OL--The biggest problems were Bernadeau and G. Williams. They are not average. When Wharton and Otah return, if Schwartz contiues to develop into a solid RG, we could focus on depth on the OL and not rebuilding it. That is huge.

7. Munnerlyn and McClain. They look very good for seventh rounders. Munnerlyn is starting to look like a steal. If you draft in 2010 for 2012 needs, for example, you don't pressure rookies into starting roles. Munnerlyn, C. Johnson, are good examples.

8. John Fox leaves Carolina a winner--last home game, overall record. That'll do Fox. That'll do.

NEGATIVES

1. Charles Godfrey is not as good as he should be. Still taking bad angles. Give Pugh the starts in the last 2 games. Martin is the real deal.

2. Bernadeau and Williams suck.

3. Clausen will never be much better that what we saw today, but the right coaching could dress up his game to average status.

4. Even in victory, Davidson still tried to prove his idiocy, as if we needed more evidence.

OFF SEASON PRIORITIES HAVE CHANGED!! (in my opinion)

RG

WR (#1 free agent)

LOT (depth)

After

Glad for the players, and for Fox.

It is very hard to judge progress with the Cardinals Defense. The Steelers, even after their emotional game going on right now will be the better measuring stick. Our backs will find the running a bit tougher and the throwing a lot harder.

As for the defense, don't know, Cardinals might have pulled it off if they got one more series.

Speaking of steals, Jordan Senn sure seems like one.

Im sorry but as much as you dress up Goodson he is still not close to Dwill production. Stewart was tearing threw AZ today and Goodson was effective but not punishing. While we consider Dwill a slasher he is just as effective up the gut. Goodson is not. If we keep them all we will have some of the most all purpose backs in the league.

Fwiw, Clausen's handful of long throws today were on target. He seemed to have a little bit of trouble with the short ones, but all in all, not a bad day.

Both Gettis and Lafell were solid. I think our passing game has a solid future assuming the QB situation improves.

I would agree. I think we looked at least OK today, for the first time all year (other than the 1st half of the Seattle game...thought we looked OK there too). Not great, mind you, but not the abomination that we have been for the rest of the season.

3. Clausen looked better. His attitude and leadership will improve, and with a decent OC/OL, he could become a game manager. This is positive news should we not get the first overall pick. Even if we do get Luck, Clausen might make a good backup and get the slow development he needs to be good.

Clausen looked much better handing the ball off to Stewart, Goodson, and Fiametta 796 times today...

In all seriousness, I will give him a bit of credit for the attempt he made to Smitty, but I really didn't see anything worthwhile out of him. That pass he made that ended up w/ a touchdown looked sloppy and King looked as if he was stunned when Pickles through the ball to him (even though he was wide open w/ no coverage). Clausen got lucky today.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
