Snead IV was equally impressive (minus the fumble).
Michael Thomas can catch anything within a 3 foot radius.
Armstead made Khalil Mack non existent today.

Fleener ... meh. Step up your game son.

Strief also matched up against Kalil Mack and kept him quiet

Andrus Peat played well which surprised me.

Michael Thomas impressed me with his hands and his hustle.

Peat is no surprise to me, I have seen it during the pre-season, said it earlier, he just needs time.

Thomas looks like the real deal. You can tell the kid wants it.

This defense will have it's growing pains. We will get better with time I believe. Still, it wouldn't have been this close without the penalties on the Raiders.

I though we had a couple chances for sacks, to me, the secondary blew it on the long run. There were at least 3 there that just watched him blow right by. That being said, we need to blitz until we get home. Send 9 if you gotta send 9, didn't see many all-outs

Crusader I saw that too. I hope that was just a busted play.
No way I want to see Brees on a QB option under any circumstances.

De'vante Harris and Ken Crawley just stood there watching as he ran past them.

Yeah the run defense was just as bad as last 2 years. They ran on us at will pretty much and that opens up to play action, a confused defense, and trying to call lucky plays. Instead of dictating what the offense can do.
