Well the 2007 season has officially begun. What an inauspicious beginning with our renewed dedication to special teams. Outside of the penalty right out the gates the special teams coverage unit looked better, and the return game even without an injured Dante Hall looked like it has potential.
Preseason is preseason you must view it as each coach has a list of objectives to cover, and if in the 4th quarter they have a chance to win the game they may switch up their game plans. That being said some quick observations:
I think in the next 1-2 games Bulger needs more time on the field to get accustomed to Bennett, and McMichael in a game situation. Especially since these will be his main red zone targets.
Brian Leonard looked really good. I think we can all get rid of the Mike Alstot comparisons. This kid is a HB.
I like the WR depth, Haggans, and Stanley certainly made some plays. Think Shaun McDonald, in a 4 or 5 WR set he was clutch.
Fellow alumni Claude Wroten seems to be playing much better. My projection is that he will supplant LaRoi Glover early on as the starter.
Adam Carriker looked good at being able to stand up against the run. Remember his job is to be disruptive and create a situation that he is double teamed freeing up Glover, or Wroten.
Our new punter and former LSU Tiger looked good in his Rams' debut.
The secondary still worries me somewhat. Ron Bartell needs to step it up in his move from nickel to #2 CB.
All in all no serious injuries, a win, and some good progress to note. On to the San Diego game.
