2-2
Honesty, I thought we'd be 1-3 at this point so good start so far. Here are some key notes I've observed so far.
Shane Steichen - I'm not gonna say the team didn't respect Reich, but I just notice so much more command from Shane both on and off the field. You can see he's in control especially offensively, game flow, and from a strategic prospective.
Anthony Richardson - AR has been as advertised. Athletic, poise, electric, and a leader. Down 23 and just put the team on his back. Unfortunately falling short, but imo he is miles ahead of most rookie QBs and I truly believe we have another colt great to be at QB.
O-line - The improvement from last year is night and day and yes having a running QB instead of a statue does help, but they have done a great job so far especially Raimann who has looked like a legit LT.
D-line - imo, they have been the best part of the team. Buck and Grove have been almost unstoppable. Kwity has been a monster. Samson has had some really great couple of games. Dayo was great today. A lot of great things on the line.
Here's what I think needs work moving forward if we're gonna be successful.
Alec Pierce - I'm not really sure what we're doing with Alec. We are not using his best asset which is bodying DBs. Ive seen maybe 5 deep balls to Alec which isn't remotely enough. I get he's had a few drops, but we need to help get him more involved.
Shaq Leonard - I understand it takes time to come back from the surgeries Shaq had and trust me I was not expecting Darius back, but I am getting concerned. I just don't see that instinctive playmaking LB he use to be. I'm hoping with more games under his belt, Shaq can return to his All-Pro level we all expect.
Secondary - I get we went all in with the youth movement at CB and Brents was great vs the Ravens, but I'm concerned with all the miscommunication that seems to happen especially today during OT and now we might have Flowers missing time.
