Time to tee off on all that is wrong with my team:
Offense:
1. Eric Ghiaciuc - The man sucks, plain and simple. Now that week 1 is over hopefully we will sign LeCharles Bentley. Bentley might be half the man he was 2 years ago but even that is better than Ghiaciuc.
2. Stacey Andrews - I said before the season started that he is over-rated and he proved it yesterday. The man can not open up holes like Willie Anderson and he should have never replaced him. I'm glad he didn't sign a long term contract and hopefully he will be with another team after this season. We need to replace him on the line if we ever want to run to the right side again *cough*Anthony Collins*cough*
3. Levi Jones - One of the best Linemen a couple of years ago but doesn't have it anymore. He started out slow last year as well so hopefully he can turn things around, I haven't completely lost faith in him yet. Too often though he is getting pushed back by opposing defenders. He needs to spend a lot more time in the weight room. If plays like he did yesterday against the steelers you guys should enjoying seeing him getting tossed to the ground by Harrison.
4. Daniel Coats - The Daniel Coats FB/TE experiment needs to end. He is horrible at FB and drops to many passes as a TE. Release him as soon as the new FB Maui'a is up to speed.
5. Ben Utecht- Learn to hold on to the damn football.
6. Carson Palmer - Start watching film of Ryan Fitzpatrick and learn that if the receivers aren't open, protect the football and take off running. The O-Line is horrible and until they show otherwise start running if no one is open after 3 or 4 seconds. He showed a little something against the Ravens, but too often Carson never commits 100% to running. He still looks down field forever instead of just running when there is no LB in site.
Defense:
1. John Thornton - Needs to be replaced by Shirley, Sims, Harris or any other d-linemen on the team. He is horrible. He's too small and weak to play DT and too slow to play DE. He is completely useless.
Special Teams:
1. Why are so many starters playing on ST? I'm tired of seeing our starting DT Peko walking off the field tired as hell after playing on Teams. And Marvin wonders why the Ravens pushed our DT's around the field late in the game.
Coaching:
1. Bob Bratkowski - Our OC needs to be fired. Carson said it at the end of last year that we can't win with this coaching staff. He backed off a bit because he didn't want to single out someone to get fired. He was right though. Brat is too predictable and doesn't make adjustments. It's one thing if you can't adjust during a game but the man can't even adjust a gameplan during a whole F'ing season. Fire the idiot. I'm tired of watching a game where my wife who never watches football ask me why the Bengals keep running right up the middle when the ravens keep stuffing us.
It feels good to get that all out. Now having said that I still think we have a shot to turn things around this season if we start making changes now to the O-Line, personnel and play calling. I'm not saying SB or even playoffs but at least we won't look god awful...
