-I actually really liked a lot of the pre snap motion we saw with the first team. About 75% of all snaps had a pre snap shift, which is progress to the offense we had not seen before. Historically, Burrow likes the offense set but it would appear they have added these additional shifts which is a good sign I think for the continued evolution of the offense.
-Burrows deep ball to Higgins, even in double coverage, was perfect. It literally hit him in the facemask as the perfect trajectory. It was a tough catch for Tee, but to see Burrow that accurate feels like a lot of the offseason talk about him working on the deep ball wasn't smoke.
-The run game is still a bit of a mystery. I'll hold my concern there until we get a bit deeper in, but it really would be great if we could see Brown or Moss break a few this pre season.
-Irwin and Losivas appear to be really solid WR 3/4 option and then you have Burton who looks like he may give us an additional deep thread that let's Chase play inside a lot more. While the middle and back of our WR room may not be household names I think we are pretty solid throughout.
-Oline from a pass protection standpoint looked good. Burrow was getting the ball out quick, but he never really looked like he got moved off his spot which is good to see. Mims looks the part as he should against the competition.
-Myle Murphy looks to be coming along which is good to see. He was getting a good amount of pressure, and a few non holding calls that I think get called in regular season.
-The interior DL as others have said is an issue. We will see what Ranking and Hill bring to the table but the younger guys definitely have a lot to learn still.
-Josh Newton could end up being a dark horse to be CB 2 across from CTB by some point in the season, yea I said it. He continues to make plays. We have heard about it in camp and we saw it last night. He got cracked but that happens, his coverage though was pretty good all night and his INT was nice to see.
-I am still very concerned about the punters. We really should consider looking for a veteran that may be on the bubble.
