Pros: I thought the defense once again exceeded my expectations. Hodge looked good again. I like Wilson alot and I think his good plays were better than his bad ones. I know its way too early but this defense has me psyched. I'll admit I laughed to myself this offseason when people were saying Lou just needed players to fit his scheme. But it looks like he might've put a pretty good unit together. Fingers crossed.
The Oline. Without Joe Burrow the only thing that really mattered on offense was seeing the pass protection and they did that adequately.
Cons: Obviously Chase although some of blame really isn't on him still a little concerning. I would've liked to throw him one on first down or get him an easy one but there's definitely gonna be some points this season where he's gonna be asked to make some tough catches and you'd like to see him catch probably two of those passes.
The running game. It could definitely have been better but I'm not really concerned. Tampa and WFT are tough to run on and our starters really only had 5 rushes.
If I'm being picky I'd say Spain. I by no means watch/focus on the Oline but I rewatched the 1st 3 series to see how the line looked in pass pro. Spain had the hold and there was a few other times he stuck out to me for negative reasons ( probably because he's the LG and I was really trying to see how Jonah did with Chase). It would've been nice if D'nte hadn't had the hydration issue and got a chance to start would've been a really good chance for him to step up.
