My takeaways from the game:
First things first, the pregame coverage from KCTV was a joke. The two clowns in the parking lot were totally unprepared and missed cues all broadcast. Tom Martin was even a little snarky. Keep Dani and bring in an UDFA from a D-2 J school.
Mahommes didn't light it up, but part of that was poor protection, especially from the LG. I think it's time to end the Cam Evring experiment. It's clear he has some learning yet to do, but the promise is there. QBs 2 and 3 were OK, but Chase Litton was pretty impressive. The kid has a cannon for an arm, he just needs some work. I think McGloin might be selling insurance after the preseason.
Did Dee Ford even play? Oh yeah, he was the guy getting flattened on every running play to the left. Come on down Breeland Speaks, you are the man. Kpass isn't going to take Houston's job any time soon.
Amerson's first penalty (holding) was a good call, but the PI call was straight out of Triplette.
More Williams equals more better. All 3 RBs looked good, but Damien just may wind up being our #2 instead of #3. Ware and West could be trade bait. X. Williams is going to be a beast.
One rookie that impressed the hell out of me was #56, Ben Niemann. The stop he made on 4th and a yard made me think of another #56.I could hear that pop clear out here in the woods. I realize he was playing against 3rd and 4th stringers, but #45 better be looking over his shoulder lest he has to join forces with McGloin in the insurance game.
I'm not ready to throw in the towel out on our run D yet. We had 4 starters out tonight, both ILBs, Berry, and Dirty Dan. If it doesn't show marked improvement with their returns, then let's panic.
