Haven't read many fan recaps yet so apologies if anything is repeated....
-Anyone miss Gallup? Cedric Wilson played well, especially early. We are absolutely stacked there.
-The first drive was key since it ate up an eighth of the entire game. At least part of the reason why our still growing defense gave up only 17.
-Loved how the world assumed pass when Pollard was in so early and they ran it with him. Moore had another excellent game mixing things up...and its refreshing to feel like the staff had an actual game plan an we executed it, as opposed to just showing up and doing what we do.
-Speaking of that drive....I've got to be a bit hypocritical....you just can't go for it on that 4th down so early in your own end. They pulled this reckless crap last year. Being aggressive is one thing, being stupid is another.
-The safeties had a good game, especially Kearse. Him, among others seemed to be much better at wrapping up on tackles than we have been used to. If Kearse somehow emerges as the top S of all that were brought in....wow.
-Speaking of DBs, things just feel different. We actually try for interceptions and get them. The lack there dates back to the Switzer days IMO. Diggs has for sure taken the next step and is on his way to being one of the leagues best.
-I recall hearing last year that Fassel has free reign to call whatever. That has to be taken away. Last year was a complete debacle but I figured it was due to desperation. You simply cannot call for an all out block in the spot he called it in. If you ask me, he is trying to get himself noticed. If MM is smart he clips his wings.
-After all the grief over Collins, Steele really showed up and played well. That's a massive plus if he is for real, and Id suggest that #71 quit crying victim and find his way on to the field. Coach Jerry, in all his glory talking game plan on national tv, seemed quite excited about Steele.
