I am still worried about our red zone play. Both the play calling and Whites total melt down once we get in there.

Id also like to see some more pass rush from our ends early in the game. I watched the game yesterday and focused on Lawson. If you think he is getting double teamed on every play, you are probably going to be disappointed. He is not Just getting blocked. More playing time could help him....

But other than that, we are progressing nicely

Many teams run quick passes.

They get the ball out in less than 3 seconds.

Sacks are harder to get in that setting.

2 of White's TD passes were from the 24 and 29 yd lines. And he missed another wide open receiver. To me that looks like improvement in ~red zone play calling and execution. But I'm an optimist.

Pettway's emergence as a physical runner between the tackles will help as well.

On the re-watch, Carl played solid, but seemed indecisive and a step slower than normal. I'm not sure if the injury has slowed him a bit or if them running the zone read at him caused him to be on his heels. Also, Marlon Davidson looked incredible. I focused on the lines when I re-watched the game and he stood out above all others to me.
