I've watched the replay twice now.
Positives
CJ Spiller looks like he's got that extra gear back. On more than one occasion the defender had angles on him but he kicked it in and blew by them.
Tommy Lewis - this guy wants it. If it's between him and Coleman give me Lewis. His stature is a concern but the guy catches most things thrown his way and fights. It's called heart and he has it. Coleman not so much.
Defense overall - We have upgraded. No doubt. It's refreshing to see we actually may have a legitimate defense this year.
Nick Fairley - If he plays like this and we can get enough snaps until Rankins returns, I like what we have on the D-line.
Jim Laurinaitis - the guy plays like a vet. You can see him barking signals on the field. He gives us what was missing last year.
Breaux = Stud.
Mixed reivews
PJ Williams- the interception was outstanding. The getting beat for the TD no so good. Teams will pick on him often. He will win some (more as the season goes on) and lose some.
Harris and Crawley - I like both of these guys. They stick their nose in it. It will take time to develop but both could have a future with us.
Questionable
Murphy - I think SP comments spoke volumes. Murphy will be replaced by Lasco.
Oline- Armstead, Unger then what. Enough has been said on this board. By far the most troubling part of our team.
Overall - it's certainly looks like we have started to move in the right direction on defense. I'm confident that SP and ML will make something happen on the O-line. I do not believe this is the Oline that will start the season. Its a mixed bag overall but I have faith that we will make moves to get better before the season starts.
