Not sure how it looked on TV but these things stood out:
-Traeshon Holden looks like a different player; in a VERY good way
-Kobe Prentice is fast; when he goes in motion, he looks like a blur
-Speaking of fast, Gibbs has another gear and gets up to full speed in a hurry; that guy is gonna be AWESOME
-Other RBs looked good too and they all catch well
-this team is DEEP; two good pairs of CBs; lots of quality depth in the DB room overall; lots of LBers played too at every position; Deonte Lawson is going to be good
-I know I counted 7 different WRs that played good minutes, and there may have been more; Prentice , Law and Bond all played as freshman, and not just total mop-up duty
-Bryce showed some wheels and escapability; he missed a couple of dudes running open, but he looks like he is progressing as a player; that is crazy coming off a Heisman
-OL needs to gel a bit; we are definitely a pass first O
-We take Reichard for granted; wasn't so long ago that every FG attempt was an Oh shite moment; boomed almost all Kickoffs too

TLDR version; we are good and deep; looking forward to a fun year

That starting defense sheesh!

They look like they will have a VERY DEEP SECONDARY at the corner positions.

Kool-Aid
Arnold
Jackson
Ricks

They all looked good.

Will Anderson, Dallas Turner, & Chris Braswell are different type of sandwiches. I hate it for all the quarterbacks & running backs we face.

Really impressed with the entire defense.

I think this is just the way our offense is now. I guess I'm greedy, I wish we could be a great pass pro oline and a great run blocking line. It is still early and as mentioned last night we were trying different combinations with different guys on the line. Still time to get there.

I think that McClellan looks even faster and more versatile than before his injury. He's a dangerous weapon.

I look forward to the opening of the playbook with the two back set with him and Gibbs out there together.

Gibbs' ability to get to the edge so quickly is refreshing and will pay off.

Really impressed with the ZERO acceleration time with Bond. He is full speed as soon as the ball touches his hands.

Kobe Prentice was the greatest surprise. He should be a real asset later in the season.
