Good shyt: The defense is fast as fukk and hits hard. Matt Ryan is still Matt Ryan. Hooper is gonna have 1000+ yards receiving. That's about it.

Bad shyt: Too conservative. O-line was trash. Give Julio the damn ball. Dimarco was sorely missed. Missed tackles. Soft stupid coverage. Gonna chalk some of this up to rust because no one played in preseason.

Good road win against a team that is gonna be real annoying for most other teams this year, they have some talent in the front 7 and Fox generally has his guys ready to compete if nothing else

Gotta cut down on penalties, we extended some of their drives as well as killed a critical one with holding inside the red zone.

Aside from that one play where they misplayed the cutback lane we contained their running game pretty well and Glennon only had 5.9 yards per attempt and barely 200 yards. Gotta clean up the tackling though

Offense couldn't put them away late which is why we had to sweat it a bit at the end, but they should hopefully get the kinks out in the offense over the course of the season

It's gonna take a few games for the offense to round into form, but even with that being said like you said the OL did not have a good game, particularly new RG Wes Schweitzer. This was his first game but he looked overmatched at times

Was happy with the pass rush but defense missed some tackles. Gotta be better across the board for GB

Im honestly hoping that Sark is just being conservative for the sake of getting used to his new role. Maybe as the season progress he will get more creative.

Defense is fast but we got to remember these guys are rookies and sophomores hopefully they gel by mid season

Offense had terrible field position most of the game. Sark isn't going to be calling a a bunch of exotic stuff backed up in his own territory

True but he's gonna have to be more creative and willing to throw deep early on downs. You didn't really see any of that today. And yea pass blocking wasn't great and yea field position but this offense was at its best when we dictated the tempo. We didn't set the tone offensively at all, Sark has to be better with play calling to get the offense moving.

I'm not tripping b/c it's one game but Sark & the offense gotta open it up moving fwd

Sarks lack of play action and deep passing was troubling :francis:

Schweitzer was terrible and we must find a solution to the right guard problem. Everyone outside of him, Duke and Levitre looked good though

It was one game so I don't expect to see anything change with RG, but yes clearly he has to play better. He got his ass handed to him repeatedly today
