THUMBS UP
* Denarious Moore played a great game today. He stepped up and made the big plays when we needed him.
* Gerald Jones. He did not make the big breakers that Moore did, but he made some big catches in big situations
* Herman Lathers stood out on the defensive side of the ball-the first time anyone on defense has stood out this season.
* Offensive and Defensive Schemes. I thought this was the first game that they meshed and were solid.
* Tyler Bray showed that he can make plays with his arm.

THUMBS DOWN
* Matt Simms holds onto the ball too long and fumbles too easily.
* Poor tackling from our linebackers and secondary.
* Poor angles of pursuit from our defense
* Dallas Thomas is a horrible pass blocker at left offensive tackle. He was beat time and again-both with speed and physicality.
* You will not win any games turning the ball over 4 times.
* Eric Gordon has lost too many kicks already.

Just a couple of specifics on the thumbs down.

1. I would rather have Oku just stand back there and fair catch the ball. I like Gordon's moves - and I think that he would have the potential to be a good returner - but, he is fumbling about 25-30% of the time, and that's unacceptable.

2. Janzen Jackson continues to do the Horney Ram style tackle. I noticed twice today where he employed that style, bounces off the ball-carrier, and the ball-carrier just keeps going. God gave you arms Jackson. Use them when you tackle.

And some thumbs up ...

(1) We did a fake punt :D (I like stuff like this)
(2) We actually converted 50% of our 3rd downs, and many of those were 6+ yards ... made me happy!

Two more thumbs up ...

(3) We had 11 on the field for all plays
(4) Art Evans did not start ... was just part of the nickel package
