1. The trips tight bunch formation killed us yesterday. We gave up both long TDs and another long run because we lost the edge. That has to be a priority fix ASAP.
2. Fletcher is a legit offensive threat, but his blocking his not great yet.
2a. Our TEs have to improve in blocking, but we also can not put them in a position where they have to block elite pass rushers.
3. Miller is legit and teams very much are worried about his top end speed.
4. Strong had a coming out party, we need more of that.
5. Long struggled with separation yesterday. On the first sack he rushed his window and covered himself. Athan saw him, but then had to cover and go because Long ran behind the spy.
6. Jaborne is playing recognition faster, but he is still learning. He has potential to be elite.
7. Man we missed Powell and Bailey. Glad to have them back.
7a. I miss Toure.
8. Athan allows our offense to get to the next step of being successful.
9. I like when we throw the ball off of actions. The outside vertical game is not there for us, think we went to it too much.
10. 4th and 1 give it to one of our RBs.
11. Way too long of a FG to attempt. Odd choice.
12. We still do not blitz a ton, I am interested why. I think we wanted to keep 2-3 over the top to not let drones beat us vertically. A few times we did get beat in coverage, and it did not hurt us.
13. Overall this is a great game to learn from, and I hope we do.
14. The game very much reminded me of the UNC game in 2006. Gut check game and we came through.
