They were ok. Which is ok.

Hopkins drags that interior unit down though

Spain was a 79.  I am not sure how that is ok.  That is very good, and although his score didn't reflect it (likely because of that one hit he allowed on Burrow, which I think was the Higgins TD) XSF looked to be moving guys in the run game very well.  

The weak link, and the only "weak" link in that game, was Hopkins.  It was highlighted in the "locked on Bengals podcast" that Hopkins tried "jump sets" in both those blow by sacks.  Lisco mentioned he had not seen Hopkins do that last year, and thought it might have been something that was being coached, but he obviously needs a lot of work at it.  

That guy, Jake Lisco, might sound like he is talking under a blanket a bit, but he really knows his stuff.
