One thing that DID NOT IMPRESS was the Hawks pass rush. They got adequate pressure until later in the game but then it was not that impressive as the backups are not ready for prime time. Nice to see Tyreke Smith trying to earn his way to being on the 53 man roster, he played well unlike others.
I thought they played decent. Morris showed up and the Q1 unit had several decent pressures against the Raiders 1's. I'm not worried there.

Robbie Ouzts is a weapon
Emmanwori had one play where he was the in the backfield and made a good play but he came up limping. I just was impressed how everything in the beginning looked so efficient offense and defense. It was pleasant. Funner to watch for me than our offense has been in awhile. I’m glad bobo made a couple plays too

Christian Haynes played LG, but he looked good. Lots of downfield blocking. He's more mobile than I realized.

I might be in the minority but I thought Gray Zabel played average his 1st game. There's plays he's thrown back or looking a little lost and missing 2nd level blocks. He's got the talent and there was plays he stonewalled the opposing dt, too, but for a position that almost demands near perfection the entire game I think the lack of experience might show throughout his rookie season (which is common of most linemen their 1st year).

Nehemia Pritchett had himself a game. His 1 int was a mostly due from a great play call but he played it well. Also had a couple PBUs and seemed in control against his receiver.

Jacardia Wright played well. Looked natural. Runs downhill with decent mobility for 220lbs. Give him more carries over Martinez.

Jared Ivey and Tyreke Smith were guys on the Dline the 2nd half that stood out the most on defense.

The 2nd half defense lacks playmakers. Only a few stood out. It's mostly bottom of the roster guys playing the 2nd half so not sure how much it matters but it wasn't that exciting.

Eric Saubert's play givess me a lot more confidence in the TE room. He'll be a steady veteran and good #3. Can block and showed some hands on a tough catch.

Brady Russell gets a lot of discussion, but I just don't see it.

Tory Horton showing his PR abilty was nice to see. He could be a contributer there. His one he returned he picked up some difficult return yards in a crowed field with some nice jukes and a spin move. He's showing a drive to pick up extra yardage every time he touches the ball.

ex-seahawks jamal adams deserves a call out. I didn't think he had it left in him. He looked like old jamal playing a new position. Still has great blitz and run defense to his game.

Jason Myers missed another extra point fg....I believe he's in regular season form.
It was blocked and wasn’t his fault as the defender came right up the middle virtually untouched

That Saubert catch was amazing. Wasn't that from Milroe? I don't think very many folks recognize what a fantastic catch that was.

I could be wrong, but I think Lock threw him the ball. That was the catch where he had to pluck it out of the air away from his body with the defender draped all over him, right?

Milroe is deceptively fast when running, he glides and eats up yards doesn't even look like he is trying to run fast. Also he will have to work a bit on getting some air under his balls, he has no lack of confidence in his arm, made some nice throws in tight windows, I can't remember the last time we had a QB that could do that except going back to Moon, he has that Farve, Elway look early in their careers on his throws but based on one game is smarter when he throws in tight windows. I call those heavy balls, where you have velocity and low trajectory and have to body catch or have strong fingers to control them. Thinking about it, been a long time since we had a guy throw in windows like that and throw a guy open as well.

As far as FB, John Riggens blocking mentality and Mark Bavarro TE, the guy likes to beat up people and make them pay for getting in his way. I can see highlights of him just for his blocking blasts on LB's and DE's.

Since he hasn't been mentioned yet Ouzts. Sticking with that same position, one play that was disappointing was the hold by Russell that took away a long run. Looked to me like awful technique on a play where he really didn't need to hold.
Ouzts/Otzi the Iceman!

Watch out for that left hook!
