Had some nice drives overall. The run game from the 1st team offense was concerning. We very much lacked a push up front. I know we were missing a starter in Eichenberg, but obviously one guy isn't going to make that kind of impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I didn’t watch it, but RE:the OL, I heard a prominent coach or player (can’t remember who), say that the OL coach is more important than any single OLman, and it’s the only position coach that can be said of.

joeyL. Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Tua looked good regardless of the int. he showed zip and touch. He took a hit, and fit the ball in windows. That’s the kinda growth we were looking for. Just need it to continue. Igbo looked panicky every target. Didn’t look like a natural DB on that jump ball he lost. Was ugly lol. OL gonna be a problem. Again. what’s the record for kick/punt return TDs in year by a single team? It wouldn’t shock me if we beat it. perry/waddle/grant all looked good retuning kicks. Mobile QBs gonna be a problem. Again. Glad footballs back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Grant handle that, he does it well enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR room is full. that’s gonna be an interesting cut day for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Let’s see if we snag any notable OL after cut downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Oline looked fine in pass protection to me yesterday. Tua had at least a reasonable amount of time when he was in there, and other than the INT, he looked great with the time given. But man were they ever bad in the run game. I can't wait to see this passing game once the starting WRs are actually out there and they open the playbook up. Tough to guage the D, given the offensive woes of the Bears, but they looked good. Fields looked like dog crap against our starting D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great, but not horrible considering what he had playing next to him at OT. I am starting to feel like Kindley's demotion has had more to do with Eichenberg being a Rookie and not being ready to take over at the RT position for a Left Handed QB. I feel like the coaching staff's idea is for Eich to get his feet wet at LG this season and move to RT next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampbilly Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I am absolutely horrified by the poor performance of Austin Jackson against the bears DLine. He was terrible in the run game and just as terrible in the pass game. I'm pulling for him to pick it up next game and show why he was a 1st round pick. He was physically dominated on multiple plays. Right now I'm hoping last weekend was just a fluke and this weekend we will see a guy that is much more aggressive in the run game and more technically sound in the pass game.

Swampbilly Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I really like what Ahmed and Gaskins bring to field as change of pace RB's with good hands and twitchy cuts, but we really need a RB that can be a workhorse and has a nice jump cut. Our starting OLine wasn't great overall but Malcom Brown left plenty of yards on the field last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
