The defense is really fast and swarms to the ball. As they should be, they are ahead of the offense. Many of the defense were here in the spring and even if they did not play were able to see what was expected. The offense is still learning. Most the 1st team WR were not here, the QB's other than Yost are still learning the offense, the line is still in transition. The timing between the QB's and WR is still in process. Additionally, this is really the first full speed hitting the new recievers have had. It will get better. Both freshman linemen did decent jobs. When faced with the first defense, they did struggle a little. It would bother more if they had not seeing as Bagley only has 11 practices under his belt and Cutler just got into pads after going through the required practices before you can dress. The impressive thing is that the first defense with the older more mature DL could get a push, but they held their own against the younger line. Also the scrimage is against our defense and was vanilla has for play calling, the defense knows our plays as well as the offense and were jumping routes and getting into passing lanes the entire scrimmage. Won't happen once the offense is able to use all their plays. Both young linemen are going to be really good linemen in the future and are not bad right now. Can't wait until the stop thinking and just start reacting. My question are we looking at not wearing cleats on the new turf. For some reason our linemen are turning their knees, have to wonder what is the issure.
