1. The Dak hate is ridiculous. When Dak’s O line blocks, he consistently plays, very well, to excellent. See Atlanta game. When his O line blocks like crap, he does not play as well. See Rams game( he still played pretty well considering the blocking was crap ). Every top QB is like this!!
2. Our biggest weakness right now is our pass defense. When we play zone, way to often, receivers are running wide open. When we play man, our defenders are a step or two or three out of position. Diggs is a bright spot! Hopefully, the pass D will progress as the season goes on.
3. This offense needs to show it can move the ball and SCORE POINTS vs a good team. Vs Seattle, the way their offense is playing and the way our defense is playing( right now ), our O needs to put up 37 or more points to feel confident in a W.
4. If our O line shows up vs Seattle‘s D, we can score those 37 points. Seattle is 32nd vs the pass, right now! There D, so far, has shown very little pash rush and they have a bunch of injuries. Instead of spending 2 first rounders on Adams, they should have spent the money on Frank Clark. He is wreaking havoc in KC. A dominant DE is more important than a dominant safety.
5. I am willing to give Nolan more time, but this defense is not a TEAM defense right now. To many players not doing their job. Example, play the dang boot leg, Lawrence!
6. Shultz can catch! He played a very good to excellent game. On the TD he showed good speed getting beyond the safety to give Dak a window to throw into.
7. We have a REAL Special Teams coach. I know all the decisions did not pay off( especially the fake punts) but I love the aggressiveness. We were actually kicking off short( see New England ) to pin the other team back, force a penalty or force a turnover. We actually had confidence in our kickoff return team. Which we should with Pollard back there, but stop returning punts 6-10 yards deep.
8. Zek is in shape and motivated. He trucked the safety. He was punishing Atlanta defenders.
9. Our receivers are as advertised. Gallop is not getting as many opportunities, but his attitude and desire really impress me.
