[ QUOTE ]
linebackers and considine look lost. thats not good. [/ QUOTE ] I thought they looked good in the first quarter, not so much in the second quarter. A lot of problems seemed to come on over-pursuit on the pass rush. This could obviously become an issue throughout the season, but I think it's something that can be fixed. Sav Rocca did look good, but his 4th punt wasn't great, and I'm afraid that's all it will take for Andy to stick with Dirk. Ugh, I'd be so disappointed. Bunkley looked pretty good, and it was good to see most of the starters out there tonight. Any news on Kearse? I saw him hobble off, but then didn't see him again. I may have just missed him, as I was trying to multi-task.

Got my first live look at the Birds watching the first half (I still don't have TV yet, lol).
Thought McNabb and the offense looked fine, just too many penalties. Nothing really to comment on; they were just running vanilla stuff working on the no huddle. Defensive line played well. Linebackers played very poorly; once PIT got the ball to the second level they were getting huge yardage. Gocong in particular was terrible. Dawk had a poor half. I thought Considine was ok, pretty standard for him, he's constantly around the ball and in the picture but sometimes [censored] up and doesn't make the play. But he had some nice tackles and batted down the one pass. It reminded me a lot of the 2004 Steelers game. Ben avoids the blitz and completes a short pass into the second level void over and over and over again. We just got spanked on screens, crosses and even the one draw play they ran gained good yardage. Pretty ugly half. We need to learn to tackle, not overpursue on the rush (Dawk is great at this; teach them man) and Brown still needs to learn to catch the ball.

Kolb looked really effing good. 26/36 259 1TD 0INT. Even several of his incompletions were the fault of the receivers.

He looked poised in the pocket, and only really forced a couple of throws. If the receivers could catch the ball and hang on to it, his line would have been even sicker.
