btw, i thought they looked really good. Go get some fukin coffee
I'm drinking coffee. My bad if I misinterpreted what your intent was, but was it really a stretch? You basically quoted a part that dismissed why they played well. Now I know you feel differently. Got it.

its a stretch to see something negative in there. For some reason you really seem to be trying. Exactly what in there is negative? jfc.
I hardly ever post here anymore. no fukin wonder.

Very pleased with both first units. I had really expected the offense would struggle.

I really wasnt sure to be honest. Certainly more assured about the D going into PS game #1 then the O for obvious reasons, including a Bronco D with some very good players.

KC showed some nice touch, good downfield accuracy, throwing WR's open. I loved me some Case last year, but I think we just scratched the surface on why they went the Cousins route.

DeFillipo used 5 (!) different personnel groups that first TD drive.

My 2 cents: the OL "scheme" looks to definitely be a zone-blocking scheme. And it looks like we did a better job at it than the last time we tried it. On the other hand, the DL wasn't exactly game-planning for us, so they might have taken some chances and missed some lanes that they might- otherwise- not have done.

I was impressed with the OL. Edison got work in camp so that had to help with timing. I noticed Cousins talking quite a bit to the OL during camp and I am talking about all the linemen not just the starters. He must be thrilled to have Diggs, Thielen, Cook, Rudolph, Murray and Treadwell as well as this defense. Even his cadence at the line is commanding. I am quite pleased how the OL responded. The co-offensive line coaches was a good idea. Kudos on the blocking and protection.

Confidence is high and it is key.

I thought the first team was excellent on both sides of the ball. I realize everything was extremely vanilla but has to give them some confidence going forward that they're OL will be okay.

pretty impressive overall. Their depth is not aa bad as some think

42 points. 17 points against Denver's starting defense, mostly in the first quarter. Offensive line did a hell of a job their first time out.

I feel very good after watching the 1st string O&D units. I was also very happy with the depth when it was 1st string and 2nd mixed. Denver didn't make any game out of it till it was mostly waaay backups. I liked what I saw. Just need to keep telling myself it preseason and remember Zims teams seem to put more effort into getting wins in preseason. As previous records show and not all teams do. That said. Yeah alot to like and get excited about Sat. Well oiled seems to be a good description from my view point.
I feel good.

I don't think Zimmer's teams try to win in preseason any more than anyone else. He pulls the starters pretty quickly.
