Karamoko has been noticeable

Beckett and Bennett getting chewed up here by QB run

The whole Bomber d-line is mia

Thomas some big plays on the interior so far.  No one else really standing out on the line.

Caleb Thomas is going to get a solid look with this team

Agree on Caleb Thomas.

Really hope the D shows better in the second pre season game.  This was a sad drive for the D.

Hard to watch the defense getting the ball rammed down their throats for 7 minutes

Maruo and Cole really ate **** on that fake jet QB dive.

Always makes me chuckle, the doom and gloom. These are the first live reps these guys have seen in months. With players they have little to no chemistry with. And a set of rules they’re only beginning to get comfortable with.

I think the key is to not get caught up in the result, but what’s the process look like? Who is showing a pattern? Who’s standing out? 

Couldn't stop an outbreak of herpes in a strip club this D right now.

In general I would say our LB's look like they are doing way too much thinking and not enough reacting/playing through their assignments.  They are trying to figure out what the assignment is.

Maruo stock is way down, especially with how noticeable Karamoko has been.

Agreed it’s the first pre season game for **** sakes. Rarely looks pretty. Despite that we still have a lead, everything will be just fine

Then why is Edmonton's offense doing so well?  They are in the same boat!

I like him as a rush end/backer in a 30 front.  Don't think I'd do much else with him on D.  He's a little too slow in the open.

I swear Dru even looks more like Zach this year. Did he get taller?

Everything is great. Every player is doing the best they can. No need for anymore posts. Lock the thread.

This is their second game, in fairness.

We have a lead. I guess by that merit our O has been amazing.

Well … 

Because they’re using their starting OL against a very green DL? Because offensive concepts are pretty much universally understood to be installed cleaner than defensive concepts? Because we’re not throwing anything but vanilla looks at them? Because they’ve already played one game aka they’re not actually in the same boat? 
 

Nice punt by 73.

Wonder if they've thought about Jackson as a OL too.  Backup OL/tight end/DL/long snapper.

I was being dramatic friend. I'm starting to feel the effects of this here beer...my 14th one.

Randy Ambrosie should be forced to sit in a room with this music blaring until changes are made.

Edmonton will have 2 TDS IF THEY keep running the ball cuz we ain't stopping Brooksy
