Well it was bland but it was clear they threw in all the 4 & 5 wide stuff to prove a point. The offense won’t be the same as years past, and that was their way of showing it.

I liked the easier throws that they gave Burrow. Would love to see our RBs catch the ball more this year.

Hard to read into much more with the teams split & with basic plays. I like to look at bodies around this time. Ika & Shelvin are looking good. As much pub as Curry got, he is too big to be effective against SEC defenses in my opinion. He doesn’t have the feet to play at that size. I wonder if he is transitioning to FB. On a lighter note it looks like CEH has leaned up some.

Watched Rosenthal play LT with the Brennan offense. He dominated Justin Thomas in the run game. His footwork wasn’t good in pass pro but he’s obviously transitioning.

Stingley looks like a college Sr. I think he’s still 17

Burrow looked confident to me. The scramble play where he zipped it in to JJ2 for a TD between Stingley & Delpit was sick.

Loved seeing all the old players there synched up with big recruiting visits.

watched Rosenthal a good bit too, i don't think he ever really got beat in pass pro, did you observe the same?
Also, like Ika I wish they would have given him some reps against the one's

Absolutely.

This was probably my biggest take away from the game. I was very impressed with the checkdowns or saftey valve routes or whatever you want to call it.

I didn't pay much attention to the lineman individually, but I trust your word on this one. I think it's probably difficult to judge the O-line in a new scheme 15 practices in.

Agreed again. I think my favorite throw that Burrow made was the over the middle bullet he threw to Sullivan (I think) in traffic. Remimded me of the Auburn game. I actually thought the best throw was the one Brennan dropped into McMath with 2 defenders there.

All in all I really like the shorter, quicker throws and my favorite play of the day was the shallow cross to Anderson. I think that play is something we really need to use this year. It was also nice to see them run the ball up the middle with the field spread. I love that.

It's obviously a work in progress, but very encouraging.
