I thought the line looked a little questionable. Not horrible but not exactly good. But when you play against a squad that gets only 4 and 5 stars and was a top 10 defense last year, that isn’t exactly unexpected.  The question is how good was their front 7 this year. Most were saying their defense lost some high end pieces from last year and wouldn’t be as good, but I don’t think that’s true, But they did get quite a few injuries on the D-line during the game so not sure how that affected what they had out there either.

Angeli’s completion perentage and his adjusted percentage were not all that great in that game but I’m not sure it has a lot to do with him. I still need to do a rewatch but I think Angeli was pretty accurate. I think he needs to try to improve his pocket awareness. Through 120 passes attempts in his career and he has now taken 12 sacks. A sack per 10 attempts is not too good. I like what he brings as a QB but I do think he needs to improve on that. That was just his second career start so considering that, no reason he can’t get better.

It seemed like every play last season McCord had a  quick check down pass as an option. Even if it wasn’t a completion it was an outlet to at least get rid of the ball and not take a sack. It seemed like we had some of those, like the first play on offense to Nixon, but not quite as many. Either that or Angeli wasn’t always reading when he needsd to do it and executing it.

All in all this game ultimately came down to our defense not being able to get stops. That big run at the end of the half where we had the RB dead to rights in the backfield was a killer.
