Watched the game finally
JOBE!!! very aggressive and looked good on coverages
Slade Bolden looks like a player.
Anoma looks like he has figured some more of the game out and will be a force. (Thank you Coach Sal)
Metchie looks good (against the 2's)
Running game will def need to get better.
OLine outclassed by the D.
Bulovas should worry about Reichart(knocks PAT right down the middle).
Delong looked like he has figured it out (Reichart might not be a bad back up for him as well as PK)
Blackledge wanted the PI again JAD to be voided..but it was PI
Shavers catching in a crowd would be nice to have a BIG WR that could be useful.
TE's catching the ball, dont seem to have that on the line TE though.

Solid observations. I came out of spring feeling better about our special teams (Reichart and DeLong both looked really good--and we have elite returners in Waddle and Diggs.) I feel MUCH better about our defense. DL looked dominant, and it looked like McMillon and Lee are both capable guys next to Moses. And the secondary looks better than it has in years. This defense feels like the old Alabama defenses to me. The only downside is I came out of spring feeling less optimistic about our offense. I know we had some OL out, but that unit has a long way to go. Tua was "meh" which isn't really what I wanted to see after his UGA and Clemson performances. Run game was weak, tons of dropped passes. The whole offense just seemed out of sink. Overall, I feel better about this team--I just hope our OL gets healthy and gels and Tua can take the next step as a QB. If those two things happen, this team could bring home a natty.
