That D!

The defense is back with a vengeance

 

[86Hawk]

DEFENSE!!! Halftime adjustments.

 

[hinton]

Riq is back and will be a pro-bowler

 

[cdn hawk fan]

Big thing is half time adjustments can actually be made.

Young Macdonald has a team, ei ei o. I mean d

People hating Charbs is an odd thing to see... can only assume its fantasyfootball freaks.

I am glad we have a couple games to start the season against non-premiere QB's to get settled in. Don't want to piss in anyone's cherios but that was against Bo Nix in his first start. But I am optimistic, they looked good.

Tackling and swarming to the ball was night and day better no matter the QB.

Offense, wow what a rough start. Adjustments were made and hopefully those adjustments (get the run game going!) will carry over to the next games.

Defense: on the plus side: allowed 10 points (offense allowed two safeties and turned over the ball twice within field goal range, which the D did not allow to become TDs). Tackling was consistently excellent and that should be a theme even when we play better offenses. Not really a minus, but I'm tempering my enthusiasm a smidgin because they were up against a rookie QB playing his first game. They did exactly what they should have done.

 

[Atradees]

Our defense can tackle people!

 

[Hollandhawk]

Walker is man.

47.5 QB rating

Pretty good for the new defense's debut

 

[Fresno Hawk]

Defense won the game. Offense owes them a steak dinner tonight.

 

[Chukarhawk]

2nd half was a great example of what the Grub offense will look like. Actual 2nd half adjustments. If they can get the O-line to play at a middling level this will be a dangerous team. LOVE all the pre snap movement. it works.

 

[hawks85]

Defense is as advertised, BUT that offense needs to iron out the kinks real quick or it's gonna be a long long season for the defense.

 

[GeekHawk]

Should have bet the over on wins!

Not really. Shawn Alexander gets hate on this board so nothing like that should be considered odd around here.

 

[DJrmb]

Defensive line looks legit, pocket was consistently uncomfortable against one of the better/highest paid olines in the league...

 

[GeekHawk]

Also, we should play more 1s in preseason. And there will be a lot of teaching when they look at the tape.
