Somewhere Mack is salivating, he's gotta a be happy about the DL depth and talent now. It was a night and day difference out there, not only for inside pass rush but defense as a whole.
Ok, there were a shit ton of penalties...but that should get cleaned up some.
But,
What a difference an actual D coordinator makes! The guys knew where they needed to be most of the time, played as a unit, and turned their heads around to make a play. It's not that hard guys, we see it every damn day on Sunday, if the defense can keep it respectable we may win some games.
What I liked on offense
1st of all, Greg Olson is not calling the plays. I'm pretty sure hes a glorified Qb coach and a second set of eyes out there, hell maybe even sets up the drone camera lol?
Chucky's offense while it had a lot of quick passes and dump offs, looked pretty efficient. Move the ball, 4 or 5 yards here and create positive momentum and consistency with a deep shot every so often.
You can tell he wants to run the rock and has the personnel to do it! Lynch looked like he's lost weight, the young guys look really good, we may have to make some hard decisions soon all around.
I would have liked to give Carr more reps in the system, but trust Gruden knows what he has and what he's doing.
What say you?
