Some silver linings of mine

Our Oline still didn’t look great (shocker), but think about how much worse it would’ve been had we still had green and mason, let alone against a pass rush as brutal as the rams’. Out of the fire into the frying pan situation, but still some kind of improvement I think was visible. Not to mention I believe a couple of those sacks were definitely avoidable on CJ’s part had he gotten the ball off or threw it away

Legs!! Stroud seems to be using his legs a lot more now which is great. Unfortunately he still holds on to the ball way too long and missed plenty of opportunities to scramble for at least a bit and get out yesterday, hopefully he gets better on that which I think he will

CJ looks noticeably beefier than he did last season, which means he’ll be able to (unfortunately inevitably) take more physical punishment. As much as I hate having to call that an inevitability, I’d rather him not look like he was literally off balance a whole game like last year or throwing a ball literally 20 feet diagonally like he did in the ravens game because he was literally seeing stars

I simply refuse to believe not throwing to Nico was a real game plan, unless we pull that BS again Monday, I’m more inclined to believe it was a fluke or one time blunder.

Our wr depth looked like they were able to handle their own pretty well, like Xavier and Watson. Higgins got extremely unlucky with the ball knock out, and I’m happy it wasn’t mostly in his part, though he can still learn to secure the ball better.

Chubb had a couple good runs, and looks like a real serviceable RB, not great, not bad, pretty good
