The faster Cisco replaces Josh Jones at Safety the better. Cisco and Jenkins should be the starters at Safety going forward. I like Wilson and think he's solid, but Cisco just has far more upside. Josh Jones has always been an underwear warrior.

Lawrence had some typical rookie bumps. Held the ball too long on one of those sacks and missed Marvin Jones badly on another pass, but he pretty much showed what you wanted to see in just 2 series of play from a young top draft pick QB. Got put in a couple 3rd and longs and converted them. Made a beautiful throw that not a lot of QBs can make.

DL is going to be much better at the point of attack than in past seasons. They brought in some major beef upfront and it showed early. They only allowed 11 yards rushing on 8 or 9 carries at one point early on.

OT position is still a work in progress, as most of us figured. Little just might be pushing for one of those spots real soon. Hopefully he gets some snaps with the 1s in the next game, ideally at LT and RT.

Herndon left with a knee injury, Wingard left with a concussion and I didn't see the Ross injury.

I seen it going around on twitter that somebody called Henderson the most talented CB on this roster and he's definitely right. The problem is, can CJ put all that talent/ability together and get his head right is the question. Can he shake off whatever hes got going on? We shall see, but he makes that DB room better.

Only 9 more days until preseason game #2 against the Saints.

Good observation regarding Etienne's hustle on that play.  Speed aside, that level of hustle epitomizes what we'd like to see out of all of our players.

Rusty or not, I think Little played well enough for me to be comfortable with him at RT over jawaan Taylor at this point, even if I think LT may be his best position, ultimately.  I think Taylor is clearly the worst player on the OL.

I think Cisco had a strong debut.  He always seemed to be in good position and tackles well.

Agreed on the DL, but again with Cleveland holding out so many of their starters, it's hard for me to get too excited about it just yet, though #98 looked good early on slanting inside from the right side to disrupt a run.  I also was impressed by RRH on a pass rush,m even though it wasn't against a Browns starter.

Especially considering we just signed him.

I have long suspected that Johnson was not a UM type of WR.  I saw Austin as being more of that type, and I think that is reflected so far.
