A few thoughts from Saturday...

[DawgNatty]

I was bullish on two areas before the game last week:  OL and WR.   I still like both of those units, but....

Truss is either going to have to play better or get replaced by Fairchild.  He was a liability at times.   Overall, the OL is good and will be fine.  Clemson will be one of the best front 7's we face.  

The WR group is an interesting study.  Really glad to see Bobo's usage of AS11.  He's a weapon and that game set him up nicely.  I'd like to see a few more snaps for Humphreys, although that takes away from Bell...depending.  Also would like to see Evans get some burn this week.  Lovett was really close to having a big game and it will come.   Luckie looks like he's going to be a weapon also.  

He's a DGD and made a helluva recovery, but, B. Robinson did not impress me at all.  Hoping ETN returns this week and him and Frazier carry the load going forward.   I don't know what we do with BROB, but, as my good buddy Toccoa reminded me....he looks a lot like Richard Samuel at the moment.  

It's going to be interesting how we deploy Starks over the next few weeks.  He played mostly at Star Saturday and it sure fits him well.  Bolden was as good or better than advertised...wow!   Our secondary in general played very well.   We are going to need it with our schedule.  

LBer's will get better and better...the sky is the limit for this crew.   As to the interior DL, need to get everyone healthy...MacLeod will be huge to get back...not sure if it will be this week or not.  Lots of injuries that need to heal up quick there.  

Beck may not be as dynamic as some of these QB's...but, he's damn sure solid.  I really like the way he played Saturday...smart and didn't force many passes.  Ran when needed and looked like a leader.  

Gonna be a fun ride.   I think this team is better than last years...and probably better than '22.   '21 was so special on defense it's hard to call.  The schedule just looks so rough it's really hard to be too bullish overall.   But, I think we don't even have a clue how high this teams ceiling is at the moment.   

Last thought...still wouldn't surprise me to see Clemson win the ACC.   Miami may be the best team...we'll see.

Good stuff, Natty. Run game definitely looked different with Frazier in there.

They ILB's behind the three starters are likely better players. That reads like a ridiculous statement, but it's likely true.

I like the use of multiple receivers and getting some sacks. Hard to see from 328 row 11, was hoping to study replay on SEC Network being played right now. Dang you ATT.

We r loaded at most every position. Stay healthy by season end we are gonna be very hard to beat. Schedule is really tough though. It aint stoppin either Other than Beck and Starks we should be just as good or better at every position next year.

good stuff, our schedule does give me pause.....hated seeing Williams get dinged but grateful it wasn't worse....could have been worse.

BR22 was the surprise to me.. runs like he has concrete cleaks.  Glad the freshman stepped up.  This team is solid and will ramp up every game and will be where we need to be come December peaking.

I agree with everything you posted. BR22 didn't look great but on a lot of his runs he was running into a mass of humanity and that screen pass to him where he took a loss was a stupid thing to do. I don't know if Beck checked down to him or if that was the play Bobo called but it was horrible.

Schedule is definitely brutal. Team may be better this season than last but the record may be worse.

Cash Jones. Right ON!!!!!

[DawgNatty]

All true on BR22...I was just very underwhelmed.  If I'm referencing the right play, the screen to him was a check down where Beck saw DL6 slip down.   

The schedule is a new beast entirely....and, whoever makes it out of the SEC is going be beat to hell.   

Ole Miss sure looks impressive.
