The Good:
8 sacks
6 hurries
2 Fumbles Forced
The Bad:
The Ugly:
Regrets:
Trading RB Lawrence Strunk / RB Bradford
my running game is 'off' out of the gates and either one of them would be nice to have right now. Sure, it's only been 41 attempts but I know those guys would have done more with the carries...
No regrets:
Was hoping to be 1-1 here; 0-2 means that I will likely fully embrace the 'rebuild' and trade WR DOn Gomez / DE Quentin Caro -- I'd like to keep them but I hate seeing good players not get a shot at a championship. We may get it turned around but this is not a playoff team.
- 0 Drops by WRs/TEs and the young guys look to be the well-cast in their roles.
- better than expected play by a young defense that's been hamstrung by offensive turnovers. We can rush the passer at least:
8 sacks
6 hurries
2 Fumbles Forced
The Bad:
- Can't protect the passer - 16 hurries/4 sacks allowed
- Special teams not playing well so far; from return coverage to kick holder, we've got issues
The Ugly:
- 3 points - assumed it would be ugly early but 3 points???
- Turnovers - Our inability to protect the passer has resulted in the young QB Downing taking hits and turning over the ball.
- Balance - 76 passing plays vs. only 41 running plays is not a formula for success with my personnel and Artie Lyle coaching, we have to run the ball---it's what we're built to do.

No regrets:
- Trading WR Dan Capuco,
acquired some talent at the position via the draft/ so letting him go looks like a good move so far
- Acquiring the underrated OLB Kirk Mahoney (36/36)
Through 2 weeks he's showing he can play with
13 tkls, 2.5 sacks, 2 hurries, & 4 QBKd
- QB Don Downing
A 65% completion rate against OAK's defense in his first start with a leaky offensive line and young WRs was promising; the stat line following the Hartford game, alarming but acceptable given how poorly my line is playing. +1 curr through Wk2
