positives:

culliver - seems physical and has a nose to be around the football. dont know if he will hold up for 16 though. i really really like his play.

depth chart WRs seemed to do well - roberts, grant and ross

negatives:

RG3 and Cousins seem to be the same as last year.

RG3 - gruden has to take out half of the tree routes and just run drags and PA, things dont require timing or anticipation. We saw this last year where Def Coord have such any easy job bc they know half the playbook wont be called.

On the RG3 scramble where he picked up 6 yards and a FD, his primary read looked to be a simple hitch and the guy was wide open but RG3 too quickly moved away from him .. even though the guy was right in front of RG3 and he was clearly open. that has to be super frustrating to a coach. the guys at halftime on CSN did a good job of breaking down that play.

RG3s footwork is just awkward.

cousins - when cousins took that sack, gruden screamed to him "OPEN YOUR EYES!" when cousins came to the sideline. it was a quick 3 step drop, trips to the right and cousins just hesitated for a second. i havent seen film breakdown but it sounded like the primary read was open. get the ball out. as an aside - i dont think gruden would scream to RG3 like that.

cousins just gets flustered and panics. in that 2 min drill he seemed frantic.

cousins throws 50/50 balls when a guy is 1 on 1 and i dont mind that. cousins is probably told if you read 1 on 1, throw the ball.
