First Game. Who looked good and Who looked bad

[SteveTheCowboy]

4.0 yards in 10 tries is better than 2 yards and cloud of dust against one of the better DLs

If we want zeke later in the year that's perfect. Other rbs need to step up.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I thought he did fine. Insightful. He voice isnt annoying.

He just has to relax is all.

He just has to relax is all.

Tom Brady always seemed to me to be someone that was fairly closed off and guarded.
Not sure that can translate well to what he is doing now
not sure he CAN relax

I hear ya....has always concentrated on perfection and regiment. I certainly do appreciate his knowledge but we're just bros hanging out.

375 million can make anyone relax.

Specifically good:

Overshown. Wow, is he faster than Micah?
Carson. For a rookie, that was very encouraging.
Beebe. Knew he'd be good, and he is.
Kendricks. There's the guy we needed.
Tyler Smith. Of course.
Guyton. Big challenge, and he held up well.
Aubrey. He's the new Tucker of the league.
Micah and Lawrence. They were Micah and Lawrence.

Specifically bad:

Nobody. Everybody was OK to good that day.

2nd offense looked bad. I wish they were able to finish the game with some physicality

I was well pleased with the performances of our "executioners" at linebacker. Overshown and Kendricks were great, and Parsons was just himself, which is about as good as it gets. I thought Dowdle had a poor day, but that happens to most of us, now and then.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Overshown was a torpedo today. Zeke looked better than expected.

That's a fact amigo!

It's probably why we signed zeke. Yes...refused a stud draft or free agent. But zeke stabilizes things quite abit.

Carson looked OK, about what you would expect. Ups and downs, but he competed and got valuable experience.

so you would expect a 7th rd pick to start at corner? not only start, but have a very , very solid game..... from your 7th rd pick? are you kidding?

[CampJR]

Great: Overshown, Kendricks, DLaw, Parsons
Not Great: Carson

I thought for a rookie in his first game, he actually showed promise on his breaks on the ball.

All camp we heard how amazing he looked so yeah it seemed he was ready to contribute despite his draft status. We had to expect ups and downs in game 1 and he pretty much met expectations from what we've seen in camp and preseason in delivering a solid debut.

To answer your question, knowing nothing more than his draft position he's absolutely exceeded expectations for a 5th round pick, but if you tracked his performance in camp it's easy to lift your expectations a little.

and he met those expectations and more. Dude played a very good game.

A bit late, but I saw this PFN article this morning.
3 Studs & 3 Duds

What stood out was they had Zack Martin listed as one of their Duds.

Probably primarily because of the sack he gave up early in the game. It happens.
