2. Outside of Hunt, the D-line depth wasn't bad. Hardison and Williams made some plays. Clarke was up and down but showed improvement.
3. WR battle. Alford showed some return ability and yeah, Erickson scored, but Alford had some nice returns. Kumerow didn't see much and did beat his man for a deep ball, but missed it. Core looked good. Erickson looked good in the slot. Honestly, every WR has shown potential. It's game 1, so time to see who's consistent.
4. Little worried about Ogubehi. He was on skates a lot and although athletic enough to pull, I don't see him holding protection up for long.
5. Dawson was in the right place numerous times, but needs to hit the hole and attack rather than wait to react. He's shown good instincts on where to go, but needs to go for it.
6. Flowers just did not look good last night. Missed tackles and got beat in coverage. Not a solid showing by him.
7. Fisher hasn't been talked about much but he should be. Dude looked actually pretty decent, especially when pulling. Think he is actually gonna be good here.
8. Carson. We assumed our RB depth, but Carson is trying to make a name for himself and get on some team. Ran over people, blocked well, Carson did a lot of good things last night that is gonna cause coaches to take notice. Both here and around the league.
I pretty much agree with everything. I'm excited to see more of Alford for sure. I heard he got a small injury last night or we would've seen more of him. Dude used to blow my mind in college.
As far as the Simonise kid that a lot of previous posters have mentioned. I need to see way more. His catch came on a play against nobody DB's who ran into each other and left him completely wide open to be hit in stride on a slant. Seriously Erickson or Alford may have taken that one to the house. Too early on him.
