Pros and Cons after the 49ers game.
I’ll probably echo a lot of what was said here prior -
Pros: Taysom Hill is just so much fun to watch. He been a workhorse warrior since day 1 here and I’m so pumped to see what Kubiak will do to get him touches.
Chase Young is insane to watch. He looks like a man among boys out there and I’m really enjoying how happy he seems and how encouraging he seems to be to other players.
The whole team played with energy and focus. We started the game with a false start and then didn’t have a penalty for the next 2.5 quarters.
Cons: o-line is a huge concern but hopefully Kubiak can mask some of it with scheme.
We still seem quite susceptible to mobile QBs. Hopefully that’s another scheming thing that can improve as we get into the season.
Overall, I felt better about this game than I did week 1. I can’t explain it but everything feels just a little bit different. - in a good way. How different? Not sure yet - but it feels like there’s an energy starting to grow and with a really tough stretch to start the season, maybe they’ll be able to hang better than we anticipated.
I also wanted to add-
There are few sights that are more beautiful than the Saints in their white tops and gold pants vs the Niners in their red tops and gold pants playing on grass in the California late afternoon sun. It just brings back so many memories of that rivalry from the 80s and visually there are few matchups that are more esthetically pleasing than that one.
