Positive: Victor! What a fucking stud! Can't wait to see him light people up in conference play. #playerdevelopment
Negative: D Washington. Same straight edge running nonsense. Spare me the OL being bad, he was worse.

    Positive: Win a fucking game and we will talk
    Negative: D-line. Pick anyone. They all looked undersized and couldn't generate a pass rush.

    First half maybe, but the d-line was least of our problems.
    It said surprised by, not who was the least of our problems. I wasn't surprised at all by the offense. I was surprised that our DL was average. I expected them to be good, but I'm not really worried because I like our DL coach.

    Pretty much agree on both.
    Not sure anyone surprised me that much in a positive way.
    I was expecting at least something from DWash. Didn't expect him to play even close to that horribly

    I did notice Dissly actually. Wasn't amazing or anything but he shows up.

    Aren't Gaines' and dissly's numbers very similar? I kept confusing them in a way only DDY would appreciate

    I was most positively surprised by Browning. That is of course relative to expectations.

    I didn't really have an expectation before but I most negatively noticed Bierria with his big whiffs. Sure, they could have been awesome hits had he connected but close doesn't count.

    I was impressed with Eldrenkamp. He was pushing guys around on pass block. passes the look test. Run game away a clusterfuck and I didn't see how he performed there.

    Negative: wide receivers. Would name one but who cares.

    I was most positively surprised when we came out in the beginning of the game. I saw some new formations.

    "Finally!, Jonathan Smith opened up the playbook because we have a QB worth a damn"

    Then, the game unfolded. Despite the fact that we had some new plays, and lots of motion. We still threw at the line of scrimmage all day.

    "Ok, maybe we'll have a screen heavy offense, that's okay, that can win games too, now that we have a QB like browning, we can stretch the defense and this can work. It will help our run game too since our backs are either young, or very flawed."

    We didn't try to stretch the field. We kept trying to run lateral passes/screen all day. Again.

    And Again

    and Again.



    "if we keep trying the same thing over and over, it will work eventually. That makes sense. That's what I like to think." - Jonathan Smith







    It didn't work.


    I'm surprised that I was surprised.

    Surprised Browning didn't play better. And don't give me that true freshman bullshit - Josh Rosen absolutely lit it up for UCLA. Hope I'm wrong but he didn't show me much to get excited about. Oh, he could develop but doubt it's this year.

    J smith is not rosens OC
