| Re: Rex Grossman slump According to the author of this story, "The obvious goat of the [Miami] game was Grossman... As the game progressed, it looked like the Dolphins' base defense was to rush five defenders. Grossman was flustered throughout the second half, consistently throwing wildly and off his back foot. The two second-half interceptions were terrible throws. Grossman was sacked three times after being sacked only six times in his first seven games."
Furthermore, "Grossman definitely needs to improve his composure in the face of a rush, but his cause was hurt by the injury to Berrian on the Bears' first offensive play. Berrian is not the best receiver in the world, but he can stretch the field. The Bears had numerous opportunities to connect on deep pass plays against the Dolphins' suspect secondary. Grossman hit some of them, including a nice catch by Muhammad on the team's only touchdown. Despite some success, numerous big play opportunities were left on the field."
Just a few weeks ago, we were all singing his praises. Now he's a bum who can't handle pressure? So which guy, the one who started the season of hot or the guy who has struggled against Arizona and Miami, is the 'real' Rex Grossman? |
