Getting such big contributions out of "players I've never heard of before"
Don't know if some of these guys will see the field in the regular season when more guys are (hopefully) healthy, but was interesting seeing Jack Jancek and Jaylen Wright play well.
Still worried about D. Can't really tell much from the O&W game, but I feel like we're going to be like Ole Miss last season and we'll have to win shootout type games.
Beckwith is not playing defense...do you mean Whitehead?Bailey and Maurer seem like locks for QB1/QB2; I was surprised Hooker seemed to struggle as much as he did. I was pleasantly surprised that the running game looks so solid...as fun as it would be to watch Beckwith run over people, the defense may need him more. Small seems like the starter there.
That's what I was saying in the main O & W game thread.If Maurer and Hooker were indeed told to play ONLY from within the pocket (which sounds like it’s the case), it explains why Bailey looked the best today. They were being challenged to play outside of their style and therefore taking half of their game away, where Bailey was able to play within himself. IF that’s the case, I wouldn’t take anything from Bailey but at the same time, I wouldn’t take anything from Hooker or Maurer either as you can easily erase a few incomplete passes and replace it with positive rushing yards.
Forget about Beckwith going to defense.Bailey and Maurer seem like locks for QB1/QB2; I was surprised Hooker seemed to struggle as much as he did.
