There were lots of complaints but we had 344 yds to 195 for Vikes. Also TOP was 37 to 22 …that is we had the ball 60% of the time. Also, altho a PS game, we did win on some nice drives in the 2nd half. Considering kyle kept moving Poe, Burford, Banks, Sutherland, Jeckelj, West around like pieces on a chessboard, there was a lot to like. Sure impressed with our 2 backup QBs, Both did well and showed some things, like well, pump fakes, and also could throw darts. Ball catchers (WRs , TEs, and RBs) had fumble fingers, esp in first half. Hudson came on big in 2nd half with 5 (of 6) catches.
Yes, OLine did not distinguish itself, but when one guy looked good at OG or C or OT, he got moved. Kyle needs to know who he is keeping and where. Possibly,, and don't laugh, our OL could actually be better than last yr when RT Side of OL was a problem most of yr and esp at end of season. It's impossible to know really know what which guy did when we don't know the caliber of player he was playing against. Here is where film comes in. Whereas Center continues to be a question mark, RT looks like biggest problem…altho we do have some talent to move around .
DL, considering who wasn't playing, looked good, and Javon got a taste of playing post op knee reconstruction. Overall for a game of 2s and 3s against 2s and 3s, , one would have to say we did pretty well. Unfortunately, the Vikes 2s and 3s didn't look very good. Need to keep that in mind when reviewing what our guys did.
