[NU Sports] Kafka

[mlinhardt at netzero.net]

Seeing Kafka in person I was impressed.

The bad:
#1 Skipped 1 pass, overthrew 1 pass, and underthrew 1 pass
(interception)
#2 Fumbled trying to make extra yardage
#3 Did not "feel" the blitz and got sacked
#4 Threw it away on 4th down in the redzone at the end of the game 
when we needed the score

Even those things weren't bad:
#1 With those limited mistakes I consider him quite accurate.  Jordan 
didn't help by running before he caught the ball in the redzone.  Doh!
#2 was an aggressive play.  How many times did Baz leave the ball 
behind his 1st year?  A lot!
#3 that is an experience issue
#4 probably compensation for taking the sack at Miami(OH) in a similar 
situation.  He has to learn to throw it away unless we have nothing to 
lose and then try to force a throw.

Remember Baz looked much, much worse vs. Air Farce in his first home 
start.

Our defense looks similar to last year so I guess I can't be 
surprised, but what the heck happened to our hyped OL?  If the OL is 
not the problem what happened to our hyped RBs?

Parts of special teams were better, but our return game was non-
existant!

Somebody else posted on the lack of Herbert.  I think it is related to 
familiarity.  I am sure Kafka did not get much pitch-catch practice 
with Herbert being the 3rd-ish QB last year and 2nd QB this year, but 
he probably threw a lot to Ward as was evidenced in the game.
