Spring Game discussion

It is such a relief to see our QBs transfer their weight to the front foot when they throw every time. You don't hold your breath every time they throw

[Army_Allen]

I am a little worried about the coverage in the passing game by our starters though. Some big holes at times.

And then Gebbia comes back hitting his RB on the run for a nice gain. Really making this QB competition a 3 way run.

LB's look pretty good.

[Army_Allen]

Man, Rose could start for a team like Kansas.

[Nebfanatic]

I will agree in all of this offense ya gotta wonder where our defense is at

 

Not where they are at, but how far along are they?

[Nebfanatic]

Gifford has been ballin though geeze Louise!

The #1 D really has been the Like Gifford show, hasn't it?

[EmeraldIngot]

POB fitting the ball into some tight windows. He can really out some mustard on the ball, and with accuracy too.

[Nebfanatic]

It has been! Solid tackling and has created 2 turnovers, he looks like the one guy out there who could be ready to go if it were week one right now.

 

Another thing I have noticed in this first half I like, we are really utilizing the TE thus far today

[Beez]

Both Obrien and Lee look real solid. Lee's TD throw was so nice to see. Looks to be a close race for the #1.

Definitely. And with a QB who can fit a ball into those soft spots in the zone and hit the TE in stride, it adds yet another thing opposing Ds need to cover. And when they shift to cover the middle more, it leaves either the deep sideline fades as one on one situations or leaves the flats undefended. Which is why Wilbon had such a wide open run on the check down for a TD.

[Swiv3D]

Our defense is fine. They've said multiple times to not look closely into this game. The fact that there's not a ton of defensible adjustments and that there's not many defensive play calls makes this pretty obvious.

[Nebfanatic]

I mean that is understood but it still makes you wonder just because we aren't getting a real look, how far along they? I'm sure they are going to be fine as well but it would be cool to see them really in action.

[EmeraldIngot]

They are definitely playing a very vanilla D, not showing blitzes or a lot of pass rush in general, and I think part of that is some gamesmanship from Riley and Diaco. They don't want to show the real 3-4 D in the spring so our early opponents won't have a lot of film and won't know what to prepare for. A bit dissapointing from my perspective, I'm looking forward to seeing our D in action, and if Gifford plays in the fall line he did today, we are gonna be in good shape. Well, if we can actually pass rush.
