Pre-snap motion, moving the pocket, play action early and often, and Penny looking like Shaun Alexander with better 2nd level burst. Clear effort to feature DK today (weird how it worked well, coaching staff) and almost every single series had plus early down plays. Could have easily put up 60 if they kept the pedal down at the end of the game.
Russ looked like Russ of old - decisive, locked in, perfect passes both intermediate and deep. If Dee knew how to use the sideline correctly he had another TD pass there (Lockett and DK bring that pass in for a TD). No idea why he completely distorted his body and gave up outside leverage, ball was perfect to the front pylon. Hopefully it's something he works on.
Curhan looks like a legit RT. Mauler in the run game and has been more than serviceable in pass pro. Something to actually be excited about on the OL.
Weird that featuring an absolute mammoth of a human being at WR works out well. Easy pitch-and-catch gains over the middle using his body like a TE and then hit them deep 1v1 when safeties have to come up. Should be a no brainer going to him anytime he gets single coverage. Pretty strange it took until final week of the season to do this.
Penny decision will be interesting. His big knock obviously is injuries and inability to run between the tackles. He's been a superstar to end the season, getting massive gains up the middle. He has that same silky glide running motion Shaun Alexander had except his second level burst is on another level. He has homerun ability anytime he touches the ball. Can he be trusted to a big contract though? Can he be your #1 all season? Lot for the FO to think about with him.
Liked the use of TE's today. Everett is athletic, using him across the middle should be an easy move the chains go-to for the offense.
