2 Things tat stood out to me (that nobody has said)

1) Defensive Communication - on a few series that I watched, I saw the first-team defense communicating....relaying signals, being more active than I remember them being. I think it was Beason and Conner doing this, with some of the D-Line also standing up and pointing out areas. It jumped out at me for some reason and thought it deserved mention, as the defense in turn was spectacular. It showed me this unit is starting to gel and the play on field proved it more.

2) Moore to Moore - the 1st 2 series, I saw Matt target Kenny some, moreso than Jarrett or Lafell (if I remember correctly). I noted it because it seemed as if Matt was in a comfort zone with Kenny. I may be looking too much into this, but it at least signaled Matt trusted Kenny some. Could tip the hat on the #2 race.

These two things stood out to me more than anything, especially early on. Maybe it's just me nitpicking. Maybe I'm on to something. We'll see by the next game, which is pretty much the dress rehersal for the regular season

I noticed Moore and LaFell were on the field long before Jarrett made it out there. For what it's worth, I've heard Matt has a good relationship with Moore, which might stem from Moore working with the second team in practice last year. I expected Moore to target a lot of those players that might be on the cusp of moving from the second to first teams, like Gary Barnidge, for instance.

    • You guys are just going to have to accept the fact that Dan Morgan is a mid GM best case scenario currently. I used to have people get very belligerent over defending Scott Fitterer too. And that's not hyperbole. People used to go to bat for that guy like he was blood related. We have a truckload invested in the OL and what do we have to show for it? The whole unit is already banged up including one of our big signings. Even without all that the group has largely taken a step back from last year in pass protection. Then you get to the QB room and there's only two conclusions you can make about Dan Morgan. Either he deliberately ignored it two years in a row on his own accord or he took orders from Tepper to do so. Either scenario says he's not fit to be an NFL GM.
    • Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young.    It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it.    After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense. 
    • Uhh, okay yes that happened. I didn’t like the pick either I am a 3rd or later RB guy. Always. Actually hated the CMC pick too. Hated the Stewart pick.  No one wants to talk about trading the #39 in that draft and what he did with that.  Got #52, #155, and the Rams 2025 2nd to boot.   The 52 and 155 plus our 142 5th rounder to go up for a Brooks Everyone wants to forget about the 2025 2nd for that Rams trade  which was used to move up for Scourton.  That Rams trade down was a great deal for us.
