Week 1 Loss - Post Thoughts Here

It is hard to base anything on one week, but is it possible that the offense is actually going to have to carry this team to wins, rather than the other way around, as most expected?

Anyone notice another questionable coverage on one of Jeffrey's TD's? He had Bostic trying to cover him. Why? A LB on a wr can not be the correct coverage.

Bostic was right there. If he gets his head around, then he likely knocks the ball down.

Even though the defense has talent, without Allen and with Greg Manusky’s coaching they are not going to be as good as many expected.

On the offensive side, our new WR are legit. They are going to be fun to watch. Unfortunately Case does not have the talent to get the ball to them every time they are open. That missed pass to a wide open McLaurin was a 7 point mistake, right when we desperately needed it.

This team needs new coaches and some OL talent to really improve. But we have some new rookies that are going to make some plays.

Looking thru the grades from PFF on the first game

Well just highlight a couple things:

Landon Collins was terrible in coverage.

Jimmy Moreland, Matty I, Jon Bostic, Ryan Anderson were terrible in Run Defense. For Bostic that's especially terrible.

Tim Settle, Monty graded well. Payne and Norman solid.

The Interior Oline graded well. Flowers was solid.

Moses graded out terrible. Penn graded out as our best Run Blocking Olineman, but not good pass blocking.

Vernon Davis continues to give us nothing run blocking. Sprinkle graded well.

Terry McL graded well, highest grade on Offense. Guice graded second highest. Solid grades for Harmon and CT.

The bad:
- Blown opportunity.
- Penalties. I swear I don't understand holding anymore.
- Not making plays to finish, close doesn't count. (pressures, coverage, tipped balls not intercepted, dropped balls when desperately needed, missed TDs )
- Running game. It went away.

The Good:
- Offense. Has a chance to make shit happen as they get to know each other.
- Recent draft picks. Scary Terry, Harmon, Holcomb, Quinn, Payne, Roullier. We just might have several really solid back end picks in the last couple of years.
- Team speed. The difference was noticeable
- Returns. Not a shit show for once. Actually looked like we might get a decent return now and then.

Overall. Game 1 against a really good team. Not good to give it away at all, but alot more to be happy about than I remember in recent years. Some shit looked flat good. I am going to reserve further judgement until week 8 when the league has developed its identity for the year.

How did they grade Trey Quinn? How about Richardson? McLaurin is going to be our bust out player this season.

Quinn and P Rich were meh..average

I want to see more of Sims and Harmon. Put Harmon at the X, Mclaurin as the Z and Sims in the slot.

Quinn and P Rich were meh..average

They were fine. Quinn scored a late TD, and PRich made a ridiculous catch that should have been a TD, but he had stepped out of bound.

Honestly, aside from the lack of running plays, I thought the offense was fine. If they can get the run going, with this passing output, I think this offense can do a hell of a lot more than expected.

Penalties need to be addressed too, but that would fall under discipline which would fall under coaching so.....
