1. Jeremy Jarmon still needs to learn to play the run. Got stoned twice on running plays, once at left end and another at right. That’s why the Skins want him to add strength.
2. Will Montgomery and Eddie Williams both had good blocks on Marcus Mason’s 18-yard run. Williams has work to do in this area, so it was good to see improvement.
3. Dominique Dorsey showed both good and bad on his punt return. He dropped the punt — that happens way too much — but showed his burst around the edge.
4. Marcus Mason has had some smart cuts where he’s only gained a couple yards. The key: had he not cut and tried for a big run, he would have lost a bunch. Still, the key for him is to make plays on special teams. Simple as that.
5. Can’t say much bad about Chase Daniel. A couple throws early I thought could have been more accurate and given the receiver a chance to run. But he threw a perfect fade pass to Marko Mitchell, something I have not seen the other quarterbacks do enough of in practice. The 6-foot-4 Mitchell had a big edge over the 5-foot-10 corner, Joe Burnett.
6. Controversy! Um, no. Still think Colt Brennan is safe. But Daniel did a nice job.
7. Just saw a Steelers official wearing his Super Bowl ring. Goodness sakes it’s huge.
8. Antwaan Randle El sprinted down to the end zone after Mitchell caught the ball, acting as if they’d won the game. Like him as a receiver or not, the guy plays with a passion.
9. Typical; touchdown followed by a 60-yard return for the opposition.
10. I don’t like how Chad Rinehart does not get a good push against backups.
By the way, don’t forget that I’m now on twitter: www.twitter.com/jwkeim
