Gotta love what we saw tonight. At one point late in the game I think we had 4 backs averaging about 5+ yards per carry. The only thing I would change is that I would have liked to see Milroe throw the ball a bit more. We know he can hand it off or run the ball. You're up by 20 in a pre-season game. Give him some read options and see how he does. Other than that, great game.

Trying to tell myself its only preseason but seeing that starting oline create massive running lanes and giving darnold a pocket was so damn refreshing and got me really excited. Could it really just have been coaching/scheme and one new guard? Guess we'll find out week 1.

Well, the coaching/scheme change was pretty major.

And as for the 'one new guard' comment, keep in mind that the other young players on the O-line all have that one more year of experience that can mean a lot in the NFL. Cross/Lucas are still on their rookie contracts, and Olu and Bradshaw/Haynes are all 2/3rd year guys, too. They looked pretty solid last night and I'm hoping we can keep them together for a few years. Continuity is one of the most important contributors to their strength.
