Did anyone else see who Demby was subbing for? It was either center or guard. Don't know the reason why either. Was watching both Allen & Noteboom both getting to second level blocks in the second half. Have to hand it to our whole staff from scouts to drafting to planning & redshirting while we had major vets to teach our 4th & 3rd round must have OL picks & in the very first game after no preseason & only scrimmages against raiders & chargers these guys had me losing sleep & I was so surprised Allen was not pushed into Goff by the much bigger Poe as the Cardinals have a center named Shipley in the size of Brian Allen & he is beaten almost every play by a bull rush mostly due to size & Shipley has no anchor.
Bengals & Packers with McVay related Head coaches offenses both looking decent this first week. We need to be able to get Greg Gaines some playing time over SJD as I saw more penetration during preaseason before they shut Day down due to a tightening hamstring. Better inside gap coverge or continue to be gashed up the middle like last season. Dakota Allen over Hager. Hager can't cover anyone. Littleton will get worn down with so many tackles and hits & he is not built like a thumper either. We can't play without Littleton & his tackling & coverage combined as he did miss a few tackles on the Stanford RB as most did. Lots of missed tackles & just poor effort as the 4rth quarter wound on. Even our D Captian CB #21 missed a sure tackle going too low.
We have two very talented OLB pass rushers we could have used in the 4th quarter especially. The active roster is such a huge thing this season. Playing Obo & Durham could be a game changer getting more hurries on better passers. JMO
