Dline is good, Clemons IMMEDIATELY showed he is largely recovered from his injury, Marks looks even better than last year and the D-line in general seemed much improved from last year, especially Branch.
Lee still not looking impressive blocking or receiving. Still just his first game, but when the other WR is drawing the doubles(or even triples) he should be able to make some things happen.
While few backs would have done well behind our line, Gerhart seems like a guy that especially needs to have good blocking to play well. He is someone that builds up steam and runs north and south, without building up steam he gets tackled easy, would like to see Drob start.
Todman is not fast enough to be the kick returner. Get someone that can get past the 15.
Cyprien is critical to the defense and incredibly underrated. This guy is going to be an all pro player.
Cyprien had that int on the play he was injured
Poz was all over the place. Great day for him.
Corners played very well, there were some plays that were coverage sacks/hurries not just the Dline blazing through. TEAMWORK!
Henne continues to be inconsistent. He will make great plays and turn around and throw the ball into the dirt. Not terrible, but good enough for a decent team.
Oline was as bad as the Dline was good. Wow.
Gratz and Reynolds seemed to be aggressively trying for turnovers on ball carriers, which I like. Also played well in general.
Outkicking coverage team on punts.
Hurns is a natural, fluid WR that is strong enough to break tackles and runs great routes with prototypical size. How was he not drafted? Hell, how was he not a first round pick?
Obviously, using all of your timeouts the way we did needs to be corrected.
I want to see what our receivers can do when we get Robinson, Sanders, and Shorts back to take pressure off Hurns.
I'm excited about having a defensive team again, just as a personal preference.
With a few key plays(Sproles run, Lee drop, bad pass/drop to Lewis, injury to Cyprien/the plays that resulted from that injury) going the other way we could have won this game. This is what you want to see out of a bad team. They were competitive and showing flashes but just not able to seal the deal.
Overall outlook incredibly positive. This team is miles ahead of where it was last year at this time. Hell its way ahead of where it was last year at close. If we get Cyprien back and tighten up the O-line play(a pretty big task, unfortunately) that will be enough to make this team a playoff contender. This is an incredible turnaround we are going to witness after being bad for so long.
