Everyone would’ve been much more satisfied had they scored 21 points (which they should have). However, the offense looked rusty as hell, the OL shaky and the tight end still not figured out. I have every bit of confidence that will improve over the next three or four games but damn it was a bit depressing to watch in game 1.
That’s funny because only 16 teams won. The Rams didn’t make it past, say 8? They beat the two time defending AFC South champs who came in with playoff wins in the last two years, a ROY in his 3rd season at QB, and a top defense.
I was at the game and saw him in on several plays. I couldn’t tell you if he got any stats because it was generally pretty loud and you couldn’t hear the announcers much except things like THIRD DOWN! He seemed to be playing well. So even if you don’t see much specifically about him, I wouldn’t be concerned. The whole defense played pretty damn well most of the game. I’m sure others had few stat lines.
I also saw him around the ball a fair amount but couldn’t tell you if he got credit for anything.
Credited with a sack I believe, at least reported as the player to sack Stroud during the game.
Bowles impressed in preseason as well. As least as much and maybe more than Dedich and Limmer, both of whom I like. Particularly Dedich.
No TDs allowed in this NFL is impressive.No concerns for me. Week one. A win. No TDs allowed. Who had that on their bingo card? Whatever concerns mentioned, there should be improvement as the games go on. Don't worry, be happy.
