Pratt looked great in the limited time I watched him. Same with Bailey. Golden looks to be doing well with the young LB's.

Always thought the Secondary under Lou would be good but with good play in the front 7 they could be great.

Third downs were a bit of a struggle I think the Bucs converted 4 out of their first 5  3rd downs last night.
Run defense was excellent all night as well as the coverage. The pass rush started out hot and finished out hot.

I'll give him somewhat a pass for last season because of Genos injury and the Debacle that happened with Dunlap.

Our Secondary looks as good as the Broncos who might be the best this season.


Yeah, he got a sack too. Bachie still was the best LB for us last night IMO. Great in coverage and made some nice tackles.

You.could have asked for. He was disruptive
