Watching that game, my initial thought about this team is that they might
be like that Dilfer Ravens team. Dominant defense, adequate offense.

Well they did indeed make some adjustments at halftime.
I still think Ben is a little off and he and Dionte are clearly not on the
same page aside from the TD.
OLine clearly wasn’t dominant but Ben was largely clean, not a ton of hold
or false starts so a good first start against a good team. Claypool with
some nice catches and Najee looked better in 2nd half.
Defense without Tuitt and Schoebert looked lost and out of sync will only
get better. Ingram was a great pickup. Heyward earning the Captain C and TJ
earning his money. Secondary solid. Norwood, Sutton, Pierre and Haden all
made plays. Bush looking better.
Special Team as bi-polar but big when it mattered.
I think Canada O is fine but like I said earlier trying too hard to be
different. Sometimes you just gotta run the play. the motion seemed to
confuse us as much as them. Freiermuth had a huge 1st down catch but TE was
largely absent.
All the above said it was a great team win. You go in with low
expectations and come out with a W. The defense looks like it can be
dominant yet again and offensives be youth showed flashes and has lots of
room for growth.
Bring on the Raiders
