A win!!!!! I'm pretty happy with today's performance. Here is my report card.
QB: B Harrington was solid. 4 TDs is always good.
WR: B- Rogers was terrific, although I would like him to see the ball more. Schroeder caught a TD, but he and the rest of the receiving corps was outshined by Rogers.
RB: D The runners were a non-factor. This will be an issue most of the season. Schlesinger did catch a TD.
O-Line: B Gave Joey time to pass. Hard to tell how well they ran blocked, the backs just aren't good.
D-Line: A I thought they were strong all game. Moved the line of scrimmage into Cards backfield. Not easy when you look that the size of the Cards O-Line. Wilkinson and Rogers were very good. Hall did a nice job, too.
LB: C+ Holmes did what he does best, stuff the run. Bailey showed flashes, making a couple of very nice plays, but overall I thought the LBs were only fair. I thought too many passes were caught in front of them.
DB: D I want to give them a E, but it's Week One. Boldin ate them up. No one looked good in the secondary today. Too many wide open spaces out their this afternoon. Nobody tackles with a darn, but that's a league-wide issue in this era. Like RB, this will be a problem for the Honolulu Blue all season long.
Special teams/kicking game: B+ Drummond took a punt back for a TD and forced a turnover. A good afternoon for the special teams.
Overall, it was about a B+ performance, imo. Mariucci takes the boys to Green Bay next week, then Minnesota here and close the month with a visit to Denver. Not an easy schedule, so today's win was very important.
