* Pass protection was much better than last week, but run blocking was pedestrian.
* Watkins looked disinterested and had questionable effort both on the INT and the end zone pass breakup.
* Eligwe and Smith were garbage. Hitchens and Ragland can’t play soon enough...
* Tremon Smith should challenge to start as a nickel corner at minimum. Outside of Fuller, the rest of the secondary look like journeyman. I am fearing news that Berry won’t be ready to start the season, and Watts and Murray are too raw to control the middle. Amerson has bad technique, Nelson tackles but does not cover. Veach needs to bring one if not two secondary contributors in to shore up the back end.
*Not seeing enough pass rush generated from the starters.

I agree as for your stock up and stock down players. As for the Oline and the pass rush comments, you can't expect to just bulldoze and bully every team. That Falcons team is pretty good on both sides of the ball.
I feel good about Williams and Nnadi on the Dline.
Erving is obviously a weak link on the Oline.
Nelson and Amerson are ok but you need a better #2 CB if you want to have a top D.
