Situational awareness appears to have been vastly improved over previous play callers...

Play design looked pretty good, definitely saw receivers that were schemed open...

Not sure what the run/pass ratio was but it felt like it worked; did seem more run heavy in the red zone after the starters left the game...

Don't recall us having to call a time out because a playcall came in late, though at one point I thought PJ Walker had to use one out of confusion...

As always of course, there's only so much you can tell from a preseason game but again, these are only first impressions.

For what it's worth, they're good.

It’s all vanilla.  I don’t think you can judge anything.  NFL is all about team specific adjustments and game planning for each opponent. 

it’s not like people had their pitchforks out when TMJ was tearing up preseason ball with  the prior guy.

Not too worried about the offense. 
 

MacAdoo looked good for running a vanilla scheme. Looks like we finally have a good stable of WR’s, as both Shi and Higgins look to be locks. TMJ gotta get healthy, and stay on the field, but if he doesn’t work out, I’m good with what we have behind him or possibly alongside him. 
 

The 1st thru 3rd quarters, I was pleased. 4th quarter was a dub, but we we’re fielding scrubs at that time. Scrubs that are worse than the other scrubs most teams have available to them.

I really liked the down and distance management early on. On the first drive we consistently got into 3rd and short and converted. It's a lot easier to convert 3rd and 3 vs. 3rd and 8. At 3rd and short you have you're full playbook available.

Same. I knew I was forgetting something.

Hence why it's only "first impressions"...

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
