i agree with a lot of what lukey says. here are my thoughts:

1) belton needs to learn how to carry a football. his early fumble results from his awful form. i'd say he keeps 2 pts of contact on the ball 75% of the time and really loves running with his arm way out away from his body. he's a fumble machine in the making. they need to really push dukes and lynch to develop. no idea why dukes didn't see any touches (he was DESTROYING people on special teams). if they can't find a backup/complement to belton we're screwed.
2) mcgloin stinks.
3) the new offense is exciting to watch. from all i've read, they didn't show a lot on saturday, simply because they're still learning everything, which probably contributed to the crap showing after the half. because they weren't doing too much and/or stretching the field (see 1 & 2) the defense could adapt and crowd the line.
4) i'm really excited by our wrs and tes (late 4th qt drops aside).
5) our "strength" let us down on saturday. the dline/lbs stunk. our sack for the day occurred just behind the line. they did nothing all game. when we did send people they were easily picked up. roof needs to get shit figured out fast.
6) stephon morris totally faked his injury. way to get burned.
7) our returners need to learn how to take a knee.
8) our kicking game is awful.

final impressions: i am excited to see how the offense develops over the season. i think, true to his word, bob adapted things to suit our players (pass heavy, some running thrown in to keep them honest). our wrs/tes are the strength of the team. i just hope we keep hackenburg since he seemingly knows how to run an offense.
