Positives



-Keenan Robinson- He looks like a stud, reminds me of Bobby Wagner from Seattle, the way he can run sideline to sideline, cover, and swarms to the ball.



-Ryan Kerrigan- Forcing that turnover when we HAD to have it, I have said this since his rookie season that I thought he was the better all-around player than Orakpo, even though Rak is the better pure pass rusher.



-Alfred Morris- The butler is a hoss, I think we can put to bed the "system back" thing, if w haven't already.



-Run Blocking- Is it me or does it look like we have a top 3 line when running the ball.



-Andre Roberts- Feels nice to have a return man after all this time, his adjustment to catch that pass from Griffin in the first where he was robbed of the catch was awesome.



-Defense- The defense looked great outside of 1 play, Hatcher looks like a great pickup and Barry Cofield looks like a top 5 NT.



Negatives



-Pass Blocking- I have never seen an O-line so night and day when it comes to pass blocking vs. run blocking



-Turnovers- Can't win games giving up the ball in the red zone.



-Special Teams mistakes- Chris Chester and Roy Helu, that has to be the worst efforts in blocking I have ever seen.



-Robert Griffin III- He doesn't trust his line in pass blocking and rightfully so, but he also looks scared to explode and get to the edges, I don't know what is wrong with him mentally, but we need him to get that back.



-Niles Paul- You are running into the endzone and get stripped from behind on a last ditch tackle that you broke, then say "I guess I have to hold it high anf tight." You guess?????



-The Center position- When was the last time we had a center that didn't get blown up off the ball at least 4 times a game? I think Rabach in 2005.



-Playcalling- I just wish we would have ran the ball a bit more.

Pretty much covered it all. Our punter was better than Sav too.
