Jonah had a handful of rough reps, but overall played better than what many are thinking. Collins was up and down, but was really solid in the 4th quarter. He looked rusty and spent too much time on the ground in the 1st half, but he also had some really outstanding reps mixed in there. Volson had a rough day as a whole, but if you watch every rep he had, there's also reason for optimism with him. His negative reps were the story, but man...there were some nice ones in there too, especially in the 2nd half.
Nice, gonna re-watch the game today as it is pouring out. This is what I wanted to hear and what I thought i saw on
Sunday. Also what I expected especially if we came out throwing. That isn't the way you should start your opener if you
want the OL to gain chemistry. If you are going to pass, do short screens, slants, curls, outs, fades etc.
Passes that aren't over the middle for the Defense to take to the house.

Hopefully we are 2-1 here in a couple weeks while the O-line is really gelling together. If so, it's all good.
Sucks losing to these bastids in the opener in the Division and Conference but it is an extremely long season and we
still have 5 more Divisional games and a bunch of AFC games to make up for our crappy opener.
