Gruden is almost a mirror of our coach, with playing not to lose mentality when it comes to inside of the twenty yard line or the red zone. Both seem to be really soft spoken nice guys, but their play calling (with the exception of yesterday) is way to conservative in the red zone.

Too conservative and this team has the same bad luck year in and year out our Cavs have with key injuries from day one.

Cousin looking good but several of his receivers don't have their head in the game. Twice Jordon Reed made big mistakes that either cost downs or and INT. Morris' run for big gains to have it moved back to a late hook and pull down to the ground of a DB after Morris had gotten by. The announcers really said it was a very unnecessary and dumb move. Also on the INT, Reed did not come back for the ball and pulled a Roberts move of back pedaling to get more yards to catch the ball down around his knees, but instead he allowed a DB to jump the route and pick Cousins instead of stopping or coming back for the ball.

I'm concerned now that Hall has gone out and with Amerson (was named THE worse DB in the league for being burned) replacing him as the go to guy for the other teams QB. Continues to play too far off, take all day to react and continues to be beaten so bad he is falling down on his knees/back side for easy touchdowns.

He really knows how to play just hard enough to make the cut each year and then play like a 5th or 6th string DB for easy TD; for the other team!
