MAcMans "recap" report, thoughts and impressions

1. A win is a win and BG should have taken good time to celebrate this victory
2. Good to see that GB put a quality QB in to start. TS is good and should have played all last year as any he was and other QB's were better than AT last season. i would have enjoyed seeing TS last year and i would have enjoyed seeing how good he could have been with a year under his belt to start this season.
3. The O line can play anywhere
4. the d played well but with the variation in intensity from Minnesota from out right pathetic to acceptable it would be hard for any team to play consistently against that.
Minnesota played like crap. I never saw MIN play any series to their even near potential, my guess is they will work it about mid season. To bad for them and my friends kid.
5. GB again however still scares me...he pulled the plug on the O and attempted do what this O is incapable of doing. Run time off the clock. this o is all about putting points on the board and when you have some one down, you just jamb it further down their throat untill their guts get pushed out their rears. He pulled the plug and tried to manage the clock which in the end is what opened the door for MIn to come back and nearly take it all away.
if TS never throws a pass again past 8 yards it wont matter, he and the o move the ball well, better, far better than the spring game could have ever indicated. I saw an o that was better than OJ O.
6. the tempo of this O needs to rapid and furious if this team will have success.
7. The punt formation is an abomination, we got lucky.
8. we have a punter...
9. we have kicker
we have WR with hands that are getting more sure, and they have speed after the catch.
I am curious to see what happens this weekend vs MI STATE I think it will be a far better yard stick about what we have than what this was. I was wrong about Minnesota..I dont know where that team was but they were not on that field mentally. I hope GB recognizes that his best way to protect a lead is to keep putting points on the board until the gun sounds because clock mgt does not work. We have a good team ( I still disllike the fact that we have a pot head and thug on the roster, and GB's marriage to that PF, and that he rolled off the throtlle in the Second and 3rd QT's and only bought the O back on line in the last min of the game. That dog wont hunt against a better oponent).
