[cherokeeeVOL]

Star Thomas is a beast

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

The takeaway so far is that the running game is sound. All our RB's are running hard. Super impressed with Star Thomas. Our receivers are better than last year but drops are bad. JA is going to be serviceable but it's clear he throws high like Milton. The D hasn't improved. The secondary is still suspect. The D line is still tough to run against but at the same time, we get gashed periodically.
We are going to struggle with Florida, Bama, and GA. But I think that a lot of issues are just because it's the first game. I don't think the team has an identity right now. The replacement of the QB, RB, and most receivers is going to take a few games to wear into position.

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Grown man football right there

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

Star Thomas has looked great in his chances today.

He looks like the number one man to me. His leg drive is sick

 

[minorvol]

Don’t love that call but it worked out.
