Merih
first game and 8 new starters, I don’t really expect the defense to look cohesive or dangerous.

McCuin looks like a revelation. as awesome as Carnell was, both he and Jeremiah are outside #1s. McCuin looks like he’s going to run a different route tree and be very complementary to JJ

Also, felt like Sarkisian called that toss sweep on the goal line play. Run game is putrid.

Daniels needs benched, pretty plainly bad.

D is solid but can improve. Lots of guys playing.

Thank Woody for #4.

Agree with everything here… defense actually has been very good. Just not the tackling.

Totally agreed on RT though. Seen enough,

The run blocking looked good under center early, but since the first 2 drives it’s been closer to a 7-7 practice than a full game plan. Still need to run out of shotgun and block stunts. Not great that it’s still an issue.

Defense looks fine. Just settle in and get experience as a unit. Going to have some bumps will all the new starters.

D's only issue besides a few flub plays that will happen with a bunch of new starters is tackling

Through the first half:

Things I liked:

1. 36 offensive plays.
2. Only one penalty, and although it was a bad one in a situation when it wasn't necessary, it was one of aggression.
3. The variety in and most of the execution of the passing game.
4. Julian running one in.
5. No obvious blown assignments on D. Very solid play overall, despite week 1 meh tackling.
6. An INT!

Things I didn't like:

1. Losing hidden yards with special teams. They finally hired a proven dedicated coach for it and it's still the same old shit.
2. Run blocking and lack of offensive physicality generally.
3. Phillip Daniels in pass blocking.
4. Lack of havoc from the D. As good as last year's D was at being watertight, it didn't make a lot of game changing turnover plays. Let's see more of those this year.
