I am going to attempt a realist outlook on this game for those that asked for it earlier...
QB's--- Bray and Worley both looked pretty good, with how tight the Def had our WR's covered, I am surprised bray was able to get any completions at all. There was very few points there was an actual open receiver. The opposite was true on the other side. 2nd team def couldn't cover our 2nd team wideouts. Worley constantly had an open receiver if not two. IMO should have had more completions then he did.
OL--- I was impressed with the push they were getting on run plays, I really think they are taking accountability for last year and refuse to let it happen again. I only saw true pressure on bray a couple times. I do not know if that is because of good play by the OL, or bad play by the DL. Or by design as they weren't aloud to actually tackle the QB's.
RB's--- Neal/Lane were both hitting the holes with some authority. Adding CJG to the staff has made a world of difference from what I saw last year. They were running hard, with purpose and power. A couple times I saw them dragging a defender or two with them for a few extra yards. I am very excited to see some more improvement in this area by fall. Because if we can just copy this much production in actual games this year we are going to win a bunch of games
Kicking---(Fieldgoals) lowlight of the afternoon, like usual I guess They were hitting some good shots in warmups.. then in the game itself it looked like their nerves hit them. I hope they can get over this by fall
(Kickoffs) were actually very good IMO.. shots were landing right inside the endzone, making the runners take them out and giving Special teams a chance to stop them short. Our runners were having none of it though and we had some very good returns.
WR's/TE's/Screens-- was impressed with carter, riviera, young and blanc. DR was as expected and made some great plays, he also had the ball stripped from him on what should have been a TD.. but those other guys look like they are really coming out of their shells. Made some great grabs and runs after they had the ball.
Overall my biggest surprise was how well first team defense was playing. Secondary were all over our receivers. And they were swarming to the ball with authority.
Biggest disappointment was our Field goals and Punts. They really need a lot of work before fall.
I tried to stay objective as possible, although its difficult thing for me to do, as those of you who know me will understand, the world is seen in shades of orange to me.
Feel free to ask any specific questions and I will do my best to give honest answers.
