So far AR hasn't looked that bad. Pretty crisp, that INT wasn't his fault (not being a Homer but it wasn't). The last drive was good than Gay missed a 28 yard FG, we paid top dollar for this kicker, if he costs us a game or 2 this year that will be unacceptable. 28 freakin yards!

 

I keep waiting for AR to break one off and have a long run. Jackson looks good early as well.

The wind is very tricky at that end of the stadium.  The announcers said they should have let the clock run out and kick it at the other end.  They said the kicker over compensated for the wind.  Bass made his at the easier end.

Good coverage and tackle by Jones.

 

Brents got cooked a couple times bailed out on the Shakir drop.

I figured Jones would look better earlier than Brents. He was a lockdown corner in college, but doesn't have the high end physical traits that Brent does.

Bass was kicking the same direction.

I want to see JT O'Sullivan break down what happened on the INT... it looked like either one or both receivers didn't execute their routes properly... or maybe it was on AR. + of course not sure AR's mechanics and decision were great on that throw. 

 

BUT... with all that said... the offense moved the ball relatively well. AR looked poised, he didn't let the INT break his confidence or freak him out. He delivered some nice passes in the short to intermediate range, Good touch on some screens. Had one miss to Granson, but I want to see the throw from the back camera. He still throws some passes with a lot more juice than he needs to. On the other hand the pass to Pierce was... chef's kiss. Should have been caught. 

 

Overall I like what AR showed... needs to refine some things... but overall a positive game IMO.

I actually think it was his fault.  Just my opinion.   Didn't set his feet and tried to flick it side arm.  But it's a good learning  experience.   He bounced right back.

 

Loved what he accomplished.

We have terrible depth. Ballard had to fix this. The Oline isn’t going to stay healthy all season. Then how do you evaluate the offense of the Oline is poor.

Our Oline depth is really young, so I'm not exactly surprised by the struggles. I'm thinking we really need to bolster the G postion.

I like what we saw out of AR today.  I feel that INT was his fault.  Got happy feet, didn’t set his feet which led to an off target ball.  CORRECT read however so I’ll give him that.

 

after that, he looked good.  Nice throws, nice reads, and if AP had hauled in that PERFECT deep ball he probably would have a touchdown.  
 

I would like to see him use his legs more but that’s probably Shane’s doing as he wants to keep him fresh for the season and also not give away what we’re doing in the preseason.

 

ARs going to be fine.  Just give it time.  We got the right QB.  Happy I can finally say that after so many years.

Told my girlfriend to wait on buying tickets for the first game, since I was not sure if AR would be starting or not…Safe to say, I’m going to the opening game now lol

I thought AR would start all along. I think he will be good. That pass he had to Pierce was perfect, should have been a TD.

The Mustache is in now. AR did ok, nice that he got a few Reps. I was a little surprised that he didn't take off and run more.

 

I thought he played well. That pass that was intercepted looked really good. 

 

I am watching Levis now. He is running well and getting out of trouble. Titans may just have fumbled. Lost of TOs in this game.

    • No for me.  Alec is a cheap potential WR.  No bad can come from keeping him. 
    • I can see the need to improve the secondary, but Alec Pierce should be better this year, and he is so very cheap.   There is also a need for depth, as Pittman and AD Mitchell will need plays off.   I could see Pierce getting 20-30% of the snaps at either side     I am very excited by our offensive potential...... If we have health, this offense can stack up points. Our OL is very strong as well   Who do you double cover?   Last year it was Pittman   This year, with AD Mitchell AND Pittman, we will see deeper zones from our competition   When we had EDGE running the ball with our HOF WRs, Manning could dictate the play based on what the defense did.   8 Man Box?  - We will beat you deep.   4-3 defense/ Nickle?  We will run the ball   If AR5, can pick this up, we will be tough to stop.     I am SOMEWHAT excited by our defense, now that we SHOULD be able to bring more pressure.   But........   I would STILL bring in a vet at FS.......       We will probably wait until camp to do something here             
    • No way, we can sign a vet as good or better and still keep Pierce and see what this season brings.
    • Oh ok you mean overall passing at the time as opposed to Otto personally. I gotcha. For the time he was much more active throwing then most and one of the main reasons the passing game evolved (Along with rule changes). Like some have mentioned hard to compare stats from different eras because of this so won/loss record and titles easier (Though not perfect) for comparison sake. 1 amazing fact is Graham still holds the all time record of yards per pass attempt at 8.6 despite playing in that era. The more time people spend researching him the more they come to appreciate him. He is forgotten by man, when older QB's are brought up it is usually Johnny U. who 100% deserves mention in all greatest conversations but Otto laid that groundwork.
    • Not at all under consideration. O on a ten scale.
