I stopped watching at halftime so here are some of my thoughts on what I saw
1. Holy crap was the TV production amateur hour. What the hell was that? No sound. Color was off. Solomon Wilcox is the worst.
2. I think you saw what McCown can do. He moves in the pocket well. He feels the rush. He doesn't panic. He throws a reasonably accurate ball. He can move the offense BUT Washington is a poor team. I don't think he's going to have that kind of success normally, especially if we get the same kind of running performance from Crow and West.
3. Running backs struggled. They hit the hole hard but just didn't make enough plays
4. Terrance West had a HELLUVA play with I think Johnny where he undercut the blitzer saving Johnny then got up and made himself a viable receiver for a few yards. GREAT play from a player who has some attitude issues. That was a great hustle play.
5. Johnny played well. He did nice things. He used his legs when he needed to but didn't default to them. He threw the ball away when he needed to. He threw some nice balls with his balance and feet set well so he got good zip on it. Overall, I can't complain much of what he did.
6. Shelton looked like a man child out there. He's going to be impossible to stop.
7. Nate Orchard did not flash which was disappointing.
8. Justin Gilbert had some high profile miscues but outside of that he was just ok. A lot of work to do with that guy still
9. Run defense was a major disappointment. Alfred Morris is good but the run defense was supposed to be upgraded and we didn't see it last night. Hope that changes.
10. Glad we got Andy Lee, I have a feeling we will need a good punter this year (Like every year)
