Now that we know where we are going let's get down to what we want to see on the Field. I'm not talking about Score Predictions, or Match Ups with The Opponent. The extra practices are great for development of Players and to some extent you can use a Bowl Game as a Test Lab for things you may want to see in the future. Here are mine.
1. I want to see if the light bulb has gone on for our Young Defensive Backs. Have any of them improved enough to Defend without getting cheap Holding and PI penalties? Know when the ball is in the air and how to position themselves to play the Ball? have our Safeties learned to take correct angle in both run and pass Defense.
2. Has anyone on the Front seven developed to the point where they can shed blockers, keep the QB in the Pocket, Create an Effective Pass Rush, and get us off the field on 3rd Down?
3. If Both Stevie Scott and Sampson James are healthy, can we use them in the Backfield at the same time with 2 Tight Ends or maybe an unbalanced line? Might be worth trying a series or two to see if this can be effective.
4. With both Westbrook and Hale graduating, is there another young Receiver other than Marshall who shows signs of being able to contribute?
