Our defense played really well all things considered.
+ Mychal Kendricks and Austin Calitro did a great job filling in with very few reps for two of the best LBs in the NFL.
+ Shaq Griffin looks like he's taking the next step and will be a pro bowler.
+ Earl, McDougald and T2 did a great job compensating for LBs with no experience through good shifts and excellent coaching from Earl.
+ Our DLine held up well against a very determined running game.
- No consistent edge pass rush, and no interior pass rush whatsoever. But we mostly knew this going into the season.
If we get KJ, Flowers, and Wagner back healthy then this defense could be surprisingly good instead of taking the huge step back most of us thought it would. Props to Pete here.
Unfortunately it's hard to list many positives from the offense tonight at all.
- Almost everybody
+ Dissly
+ one nice Russ-Lockett TD connection
+ Seabass?
And of course one huge WTF??????
??? Carson averaging 5.8 yards per carry this season and only given 13! carries through two games while supposedly being healthy. Really makes me think they are hiding something (flu, homesickness).
