1.) The attitude was there. Veteran leadership was pumped throughout the game. I attribute the troubles on defense to rust and jitters, and I think they'll be good to go with few holes to start the season. Also, there were key absences from the first team.
2.) The offensive line looks much improved. Bradley Sowell looks like he's going to end up being a really good pickup, and may just win that starting spot at left tackle - which would probably keep Gilliam on the right and Webb as a sixth lineman or even on the street.
How about Justin Britt, though? To me, he looks at home at center. One play stood out to me, where Britt bursted into the second level and took out a linebacker, springing Christine Michael free for a 15 yard gain. I'm optimistic that this is where Britt will stay.
3.) Trevone Boykin is electrifying on his feet and he looks to have the clutch gene. These are things you can't teach. If he can become a serviceable passer, he's a dreamy backup who's perfect for our system. Jake Heaps made some bad throws, but he's probably a camp arm. He did display decent pocket poise, if I'm remembering correctly.
4.) A newly awakened C-Mike may just live up to his draft spot. Put him with Rawls, Collins, and Prosise and it looks like we have a strong stable of backs to carry the run game behind an improved line.
This is shaping up to be a good season.
