Wasn't able to watch.

Who impressed you? Who didn't?

TIA

How did Evans and Lelito look?

Did the secondary play well?

I was impressed by all of the young guys on the defense. While they were far from perfect, we have a number of players who just do not stop. Kikaha, Edabali, Swann, even Tull on his limited playing time.

Part of the issue on our rush defense in the past was our high priced pass rusher would not close down on the backside rush. That did not seem to be the case. The cut back was limited.

Kevin Williams was also very impressive.

Armstead is a beast and will be a pro bowler.

Cooks is going to make a huge leap and may overtake Odell Beckham as the best receiver in the class. He'll never receive the hype but I think that he can beat a defense in more ways. Even Belicheck called him out in the post game press conference.

The main thing that I didn't like that we couldn't get much of a pass rush going but I do think that Kikaha will get it figured out. He just needs more reps.

The 4 rookies on defense impressed me. Kikaha, Anthony, Davidson and Richardson.

Cam Jordan was unstoppable.

Drew is an absolute surgeon with protection.

Ingram and Robinson were rolling as well.

Thanks for the info yall

Good to hear Anthony has had two good games back to back. I'm really excited about him and the rest of the linebackers

The entire line played pretty well when Brees was in there. Evans has looked better the past week than at any point from what I've read/seen.

Lelito got pushed around a few times, but other than that 1st team oline looked good

I love it when Ingram catches balls downfield. If you're a DC in this division, that's got to be scary to watch.

Awesome. The Oline is what has concerned me the most. If they play well this year, I see is having a great season.

Did the first team give up a pressure to Brees?

Evans looked great imo. Completely dominated against the pass at least
