That was a sloppy game, but we thoroughly outplayed them. It wouldn't have mattered if Tua was in there or not. The defensive line and the blitzes from the CBs and LBs were abusing their o-line all day.
It was great to see the run game be utilized effectively. I just hope the fumbling issue we're seeing doesn't become a trend.
Allen was off, but Im not worried yet. It's early in the year, and the offense still put up a ton of points. I believe Allen will start delivering soon.
Regardless, Im a happy man. I havent seen the defensive line dominate like that in a while. There's a ton of potential there- Rousseau, Oliver, Zimmer, Epenesa, etc... Beane has been sinking resources into and the hope is it pays dividends. The secondary is strong. Milano is a difference maker when healthy. Edmunds plays his role effectively.
The potential is real with this squad. We just have to hope like hell Allen rights the ship soon. It's just more fun when he's lighting it up.
