Message: [QUOTE="ElwoodJBlues, post: 3947540, member: 629"] The good: [LIST] [*]Tucker is a great feature back [*]OL made some huge strides from last year [*]Mang is an animal out there. Saw a couple of plays in the 4th where LBs and DBs took themselves out of the play by turning away from the ball so Mang didn’t engage them. [*]Teams are going to have a tough time throwing the ball on the outside with our CBs [/LIST] The bad: [LIST] [*]Tommy still doesn’t go through his reads. He still narrows in on his primary read. He missed Queeley beating his man a couple of times. [*]The DL needs to get more push. They did a poor job in obvious passing situations. Duce saved them a couple of times with stellar play. [*]I know it’s against Ohio, but the passing game was very predictable. In the red zone, it seemed like it was “let’s hope someone makes a play and defender loses their man”. Would like to see Gilbert involve one of the bigger WRs or TEs in a one on one. [/LIST] Random thoughts: [LIST] [*]Interested to see what had to be taken out of the playbook because of Elmore’s absence. [*]Would like to see a package with Pena and Lutz together. Getting one of them in space with the ball would be nice to see. [*]Teams seem intent on running between the tackles against the 3-3-5. It’s confusing to me that teams don’t try more jet sweeps or counters to get running backs in open space against DBs. [*]I’m not as big of a “we need to see Shrader” person as others. That being said, I think he’ll be necessary against more athletic teams who can get more push against the OL. [*]It was really comforting to see the depth at the RB position. Tucker is going to be the guy, but the guys behind him all have a different set of skills that are a nice compliment to Tucker. [/LIST] Beat Rutgers! [/QUOTE]
