Biggest Team Weakness

At the moment, with very little evidence because of how early everything is, the running game concerns me the most.

The back ups runners Thursday night didn't show anything.

Dixon can't be counted on.

That leaves Collins and Allen. Both were solid last year.

 

The backups on the O line Thursday night were not fundamentally sound and completely out of sync. They lost most match ups.

 

So the hope is that the return of Lewis and Yanda brings back the stability and cohesiveness of the line. Maybe Brown helps with the road grading. Williams and Boyle will help too.

Also, if the passing game improves, then that will set up the run by stopping teams from putting 8 in the box.

 

They have 4 pre season games to come together as a unit.

I would like to see a 50/50 run pass ratio this pre season because both elements need work and experience.

I mostly agree. I do think the running game will be fine but the pass protection of the backups was piss poor. Our QBs were under tremendous pressure all night. That's my biggest area of concern right now.

 

Really glad to see injuries are down. Sure hope it stays that way.

Looks like there are 2 more concerns that carry over from last year.

The linebackers struggle in coverage and my confidence in Weddle and Jefferson in their coverage skills is low.

 

The good news is that it's beginning to look like the front 7 are getting consistent pressure of the QB which hides a lot of sins.

 

We'll have a better evaluation tomorrow night. The Rams are fast with a lot of offensive weapons.
