After watching the game again this morning. The o-line really struggled when Henry just did his straight 3 to 5 step drop back and throw. They were much better in the 2nd half when Dickenson had Burris move around much, much more. I'd like to see that continue especially until Tsoumpas and Harrison come back.
The 2ndary has some issues but it is mainly because of the system they play. Jones likes that up, in your face type of defense. It can be very effective but the downside is, they are more likely to give up those big plays. Tisdale seems to be a solid addition and I like what Fassitt has brought so far. Brandon Smith is decent but seems to take penalties. I really like Raymond but I think he is a real hit or miss type of DB. Collins is alright as long as he doesn't have to move to the corner, as exposed by the Lions last night.
I actually think the secondary will be alright as long as the d-line can get pressure, they really miss Mace but even more than Mace, they miss Johnson.
Its still early, they could be 2-0 but they could also be 0-2 right now so I'm happy with the 1-1 start.
