Re: Plus and Minus for First Exhibition Game

Positives:

Kirk Cousins looked the part.

Pass protection by the 1s.

Our secondary including Beavis and Butthead at ILB look legit.

Scherff and Moses looked good.

Vernon Davis is a man blocking on a running play.

Cravens nose for making plays shined through.

Preston Smith is going to be a baller. He is leaner and bigger at the same time. He was big and strong last year but had a soft college body, this year he looks hard.

Negatives:

Spencer Long looked really bad on a few plays where the defender got his hands into his chest.

Our Oline looked tentative and seemed to lack aggression on some of the zone running plays. (maybe this will work itself out as they gel). The defender was reacting to the snap and getting into their chest while they were taking a half second to figure out who to block. They weren't firing off the ball in sync in the running game.

Trent Murphy's spin move is a huge negative. Someone close to him should tell him to stop using it.

Perry Riley's coverage skills and instincts. He lacks the instinct to take that first step in the right direction that Compton and Foster have and always seems to be playing catch up.

Reserves in the secondary. There were more than a handful of plays where they looked completely lost.

Our D line didn't do much to alleviate any concerns about their ability to consistently stop the run and collapse the pocket.
