Injuries are obviously the drain here, but some positives to pull out as well.
Offense looked to be largely rust. When the OL was operating efficiently, so was the offense as a whole.
Very curious to see how the Monken offense progresses. Felt very scripted today even beyond Flowers. Hope there’s some opening up in there because we need to be able to pump the ball vertically as well.
Defense was pretty damn good outside of the penalties. I was quite impressed by the pass rush as a whole. Oweh in particular may not show in the stat book, but he and Tunsil were having some really good battles all game.
Secondary was also good considering. Stephens and Darby both played very well I thought. Also another position where I’m curious where they go from here. The 3 S looks were nice but with Williams down, Hamilton might be stuck playing a more traditional S role. Felt like we were more effective with him in the slot than Ar’Darius… not that he played poorly though by any means.
