I'll pull together more but:

 

- Our starting OTs will be a bit sheepish in the film room. Not a bad thing for preseason game 1 

- I hope Moore is truly ok. He is the keystone for the offense. He has to stay available all playoffs. 

- Walker. Stud.

- Would like to see TJ Sanders flash more....(Did Jackson get reps before him??)

- Bernard has juice and the Will suits him more

- Alford and Hancock can both play and it's SO nice to have at least a single layer of depth there

- Brady appears to be as detail oriented as he should be and I like that. I especially love the challenge flag. He knows it wasn't going to be overturned, it was about the process

- Bowry EDIT: I'm not sure what player or play I misattributed to Bowry to make me think he might be doing ok during the live game, but focusing on him in a rewatch is a rough watch. He did not play well. Need to see better from a swing tackle

- TJ Parker doesn't look like a year 1 recurring impact player but he also showed reason for optimism. 

- Danna had some legit pass rush reps. Will be interesting to see him against better comp

- This locker room loves Kani Walker. I also think Pride, despite the PI, can tackle well. He'll make the practice squad, but looks shaky in actual coverage

- Latu had some nice moments

- I did not expect to enjoy Kyle Allen or Shane Buchele offenses but I did lol

- Wheeler can play. Gore Jr can too but Wheeler is fast. 

- LOVE our new punter. Wow.

- I didn't enjoy the Bass miss. 

- The stadium looks incredible You can tell who is a troll or consumed by rage bait quite easily on this board

Team looked good on offense and defense, regardless of who was playing. Even though they are more vanilla in preseason, the new offense and defense coordination looked good so far!

 

The stadium showed up great on TV! Decent fan noise, especially for a pre-season game.

you win a lot of NFL games when the offense has 400 yards and the defense gives up 200 yards.  preseason or not, great effort all game long!

That Deon Walker photo hits hard, Walker in year two should be even better! 

True blue chip player! Much needed.  Nice we have a couple diamonds in Deon and Cole as we rebuild this Defense

For the first time in years I have no concerns about the WR room. That isn't to say we have an elite group, but it's no longer a weakness either. The addition of Moore gives Allen a legit boundary option, and the downwind effect is that every other WR is slotted down one spot in the pecking order which immediately makes them look better. Shakir and Coleman now have more space to operate from and you saw that today.

 

Reports from camp have been that the downfield passing game is making a comeback and we saw it show up on both opening drives. And that was without seeing any passes to TEs or RBs which we know will be a big part of the passing offense come the regular season. Allen himself looked sharper than ever. I continue to believe this will be the best offense of the Allen era.

 

On defense, tackling was on point today. I don't remember a single missed tackle from the starters. I think the OLBs are lacking some juice, maybe Hoecht coming back will give us some of that, but either way the interior has the potential to be dominant with Walker and Oliver wrecking people. Even just as a preseason vanilla defense it looks vastly different from what we've seen the last few years. Different isn't always better but the early returns look great.

 

Haven't been this optimistic about the team in a while.

My two statements on the game.

 

A. Preseason games do not count but they do matter.

 

B.  Watching this team lineup in a 3-4 is exciting.  There is so much potential with this defense.  Coach Leon hard is going to be fun to watch week to week

I’m looking for answers that were not provided in the GDT

 

1. I thought we had a new train horn?

2. Can fans finally hear the PA announcer and the refs?

Didn’t see the game.  Sounds like Walker was a beast.  Anyone else flash on D?   Sounds like a good all around effort out there. 

Hancock flashed.  Will be hard to keep him off the field if he keeps it up.

I thought the grass looked beat up for the second event at the stadium. Decent amount of dead patches and divots.

He was on sidelines rest of the game walking around and joking with teammates. Didn’t show any signs of anything bothering him.
