Some positives

73Saint · 09-18-2017, 09:51 AM

While certainly few and far between, there have been some positives and right now, I choose to hold on to that. So here it goes, I'm sure I'm missing some so feel free to chime in:

Coby Fleener. Has he dropped a pass yet?
Turnovers. While we haven't caused them, at least we aren't making any
O-line play from week one to week two. Vastly improved
AJ Klein. I have loved watching him play thus far
TL Lewis. Not seen much but what I see is good

Kamara, Lattimore, & Williams look pretty good considering they've played only 2 NFL games.
Special Teams have improved in kick coverage & kick returns & we haven't gotten a kick blocked yet.
We're relatively healthy so far.

I can't find your previous post on player grades but ...

LATTIMORE, 89.0 OVERALL GRADE. To put that into perspective, our defense fielded over 410 passing yards, however Latt only accounted for 28 total yards & had 2 PBU's. I'd agree, that is as close to "shut down" as you are going to get at this level.

I had not seen that statline but that's pretty darn good.

I don't think he allowed a catch while he was lined up against him in man. I don't know where those yards came from, wont go back and look at it so I'll take your word on it

Our running game hasn't been bad. It's just been average. If we were converting 3rd downs and red zone opportunities our running game would actually be viewed as steady and productive.

The run defense between the tackles has been okay too. Gillislee just has good vision and hit small holes nicely yesterday, he looks very underrated to be honest.
