I see great potential with Dawson but the plays he is making are more instinct than being in position and knowing the system. That isn't necessarily bad, but not sure how that will translate against strong starting O Lines if he has to play early. Same with Carter -- really like what I see but can it happen vs 1's. I like the future for both of them but hope they don't have to be counted on early.

Hawk I know is a great locker room guy but he has lost a couple of steps -- hopefully can hold it down until Burfict gets back.

Give me that all day everyday because you can coach a guy to be in the right place, but you can't coach instincts.  He'll learn as time goes on about the Xs and Os.

Peerman looked good running the ball last night.  I'd feel comfortable with him in when Hill needs a breather than I am with Gio running the ball.  Gino's more of a pass catcher, which Peerman's receiving ability also impressed me, but it was more-so what he did after he caught the ball.

Alford looked speedy and shifty on returns, so I'm hoping that it means bye-bye Tate, but we all know it won't happen.

Bodine play did have me a very worried and I started even thinking about free agent centers because we won't go anywhere without solid center play.  Let's hope that he can step up.

Carter looks very good and looks like a playmaker that can be in the backfield often.

I think Kroft needs to be our #2 tight end opposite of Eifert because I think they could do some damage.
