- without the fumbles we’re looking halfway decent

- Ossai and Evans look like good picks far

Where have I heard that before? “If not for the turnovers, we looked good”. Losing the turnover battle has been concerning for years. This game isn’t doing anything to prove that we’ve gotten better in this regard.

If not for a few questionable calls our way, we likely stall on that last drive. I’m not very impressed with our depth right now on defense or offense. Ossai looks good. I agree with bfine that smith looks better than carman.

Mike Thomas looked good other than the fumble. Perine looked terrible, and fumbled. Evans looked good. That 4th string running back had a nice run. Brandon Allen looked decent, but made a terrible decision to throw that interception. Overall more bad than good. First string defense looked decent though. First string offense moved the ball but Perine fumbled. His showing should put him in a fight for the 3rd running back spot in my mind.
