lawngnome o-line Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Week 5 Report Card Dolphins 31 Jets 27 Brian Clark (lawngnome o-line) Quarterback: B Mark Sanchez: 12/24 172 yds 1 TD, 87.5 Sanchez did a good job protecting the ball this week, and did what he needed to, to get this team down the field. He spread the ball around a lot better, and definitely began a solid relationship with Braylon Edwards. Running Back/Full Back: B- Thomas Jones: 13 rushes 42 yds 2TD Leon Washington: 10 rushes 4 yards, 1 rec 13 yards Shonn Greene: 3 rushes 8 yards Thomas Jones vulture two touchdowns from good throws to Edwards, and had difficulty getting through the holes again. He must lead the league for tackles for a loss. Leon provided some excitement as well, and did a decent job out of the backfield. Wide Receiver/Tight End: B+ Dustin Keller: 0 rec 0 yards David Clowney: 4 rec 72 yards Braylon Edwards: 5 rec 64 yards 1 TD Braylon Edwards could have bought himself some fans with his play on Monday Night. Sanchez was looking for him and he continued to throw him the ball. The injury to Cotchery allowed for Clowney to step up and actually contribute in the game today. I was shocked, but I figure when Cotchery comes back he will go back to his normal disappearing act. Offensive Line: D Although they only allowed one sack against, they are nowhere near as dominant as they were last year. At this point it is safe to say they are an average line at best. They do not open up the running lanes for our guys, and are serviceable at best in pass protection. Defensive Line: D Jenkins had a decent game, but this group as a whole got pushed around by the Dolphins offensive line. They got little had only 4 tackles for a loss in the game, and allowed for gaping holes from the wildcat. Also for another week, a QB goes without a sack.

aec4 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 There is no way the secondary gets a B- when they let someone go over the top AND they let 3rd and longs get made all day, especially the last drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Very kind on some of those grades. Also I don't think our offensive line was nearly as bad as people have made out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBacker Prime Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Disagree with the O-line. They're still stacking the box, we got a glimpse of things to come with BE having a great game and Leon actually hitting the holes. At this point I think Leon should be back #1 and Shonn Greene #2. TJ goes down with a gust of wind. Leon had 44 yards. 4.4 per carry aint bad against the leagues top rush D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphann4life Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Leon definitly needs to be the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
