Studs and Duds - Jacksonville

[PikeBadger]

Studs - Willis, Cooper, Wyatt, McKinney, Mc Manus, Jacobs

Duds - injuries, lack of pressure from middle of the defensive line.

 

[Firethorn1001]

Studs : Gute (for the Willis trade), Willis, Jacobs
Duds : Push rush

 

[Pkrjones]

Studs: Willis, Jacobs, Reed, Kraft, Cooper, McManus.
Duds: Hafley playing zone D all 4th quarter & letting Jax back into game. Let the front 5-7 put pressure on the QB, worked great for 3 quarters!

I agree with everything you said. That zone D drove me crazy

Malik is a solid QB. I would like him to get opportunity to learn more RPO plays and just pass plays to test his accuracy. He is calm under pressure. Love sometimes makes bad decisions under pressure usually early in games. When he calms down he is great.

Studs:
1. Josh Jacobs, huge game... 127yds and 2TD's. He's a leader on this team.

2. Edgerrin Cooper, best game so far, and making more and more impact every game.

3. Malik Willis, the team is now 3-0 with him filling in for Love. They were down 17-13 when he entered the game, and he led them to 17 2nd half points

Duds:
1. Injuries.... worst game in that aspect so far this year. Love, Evan Williams, Jaire...we are 1 game from the bye week to late. Lions will be even more difficult to beat if these guys can't play next week.

2. Hafley going primarily zone twice with a 10 pt lead. May have had something to do with Williams injury, plus the benching of Stokes in the 4th quarter.

3. Javon Bullard, he got cooked a couple times in coverage today. Definitely his worst game from what I seen.

 EDIT: I forgot my Honorable Mention

Our Kickers:

2 weeks in a row, they did fantastic.

McManus 3-3 on both FG'S and XP's, 12pts, plus a game winner for the 2nd week in a row.

Whelan 3 punts inside the 20, 48+ yds per punt.

 

[Cornelius Weems]

Studs: Willis, Kraft, Jacobs, Cooper, McManus, and McKinney
Duds: definitely the injury bug, it was all over this game. The late zone defense and allowing big gains were very bad.
Love throwing a INT was offset by a great XM pick, which made me extremely happy. The sack fumble had me jumping and screaming.

 

[XPack]

Studs: Willis, Jacobs, Doubs, Kraft
Duds: Pass defence, passer rush

Studs
Jacobs,
Willis- he's a pretty darn good back up
Doubs
Copper
Duds
Love- made some nice passes but that was an ugly picking the red zone.
Gary- watch the td run by Lawrence. Got faked out so bad he ran the wrong way. Pass rush today wasn't good enough.
Bullard- rough day for the rookie. He looked lost on a lot of pass plays.
Nixon- got beat too often.

 

[RicFlairoftheNFL]

Studs

Jacobs: 150 plus and 2 TDs, best game as a packer

Cooper: Thought he had his best game as a pro

D-Line: Little slow 1st half made some big plays in the 2nd half

Duds

Bullard: Overmatched today. Don't know if it's scheme, coaching or if he needed medical intervention from proctology and neurosurgery, but he was bad today

O-Line: Too many penalties, too much confusion, the only one who wasn't noticeable (We aren't supposed to notice O-Linemen) was Jenkins.

Announcers: Congratulations you diagnosed the play Love got hurt on, but he was laboring while he was rolling out, the landing didn't help but he was hurt before that.

 

[Outsider99]

Malik Willis got 0 reps in practice leading up to this game! Imagine if he got some reps! He would be great. I hope J Love starts vs Detroit, but if Willis is called upon, I have confidence in him. Hopefully they'll give him some reps this week!

A little off topic, but the end of the Bears game was THEE best ending to Bears game I have ever seen!

Can't-Miss Play: Hail Mary TD! Commanders beat Bears on Daniels' 52-yard TD pass to Brown at buzzer

The Washington Commanders beat the Chicago Bears on a 52-yard Hail Mary completion from quarterback Jayden Daniels to wide receiver Noah Brown.

First thoughts after a quick second watch.

Studs -

Josh Jacobs - like many of us said all along Josh Jacobs is a better all around RB...yes if he had Aaron Jones speed a few of his runs likely would have had 10 maybe 15 more yards on them but Jones wasn't getting through the first 4 or 5 yards. That touchdown run is the EXACT play why many of us hated losing Jones but LOVED gaining Jacobs. His jump cut is just nasty - NASTY.

Christian Watson - Yup. I'm going to say a name no one is likely to have noticed. A couple CRUCIAL (diving on one) drive continuing catches and fellas, every single WR drafted into GB should have to watch the blocking he illustrated in this game. He is already at this stage in his career a better blocker or at least as good of a blocker as Lazard was - which as many know is saying something for me. I still worry about the future decision on him someday coming but for now dude is special at what he does.


Duds -

Tackling - Edgerrin Cooper and Bullard both stand out as guys that just flat out looked terrible at the point of tackle a few times....and truthfully Cooper deserved a DYNAMITE STUD for a few of his plays but couldn't put him there merely because of a couple of his blown plays, he's not a dud just mentioning him here as part of the overall dud of tackling.

Bullard - This is not his fault as much of a byproduct of losing Williams and him being shuffled back off of his best position (slot) to playing more safety. Everyone that watched him at Georgia knew his best place is in the slot, down closer to the line of scrimmage. Bullard isn't a safety...he's a dynamic slot corner with ability to slide to safety in coverages - there is a difference.

Defense inability to adapt to shuffling - Williams going down slid Bullard out of his best spot, it slid Nixon to slot more (which everyone knows I hate) and Stokes in...eventually Valentine in as well....communication and a feel for where everyone would be appeared to be a massive hurdle for this shuffle and Jags have way too good of a QB to not attack that.
