Scrimmage nuggets
- The offense looks like they are taking full advantage of Jake Luton's arm. By spreading the receivers out, the offense allows Luton to put the receivers in mismatch situations, whether that be a slower defender or a smaller one.
- The defense was in a 2-4-5 set today which benefits the pass rush if you have guys like Titus Failauga. This defense set allowed him to have more space and really use his size and speed to reach disrupt the offense.
-A healthy Seth Collins can be deadly, and I mean very deadly. How healthy did he look? Well he hurdled a defender...again. Today I noticed his routes were sharper and his release has become unstoppable, not to mention if you throw the ball anywhere near him, he's going to catch it. Collins finished the game with three receptions for 47 yards.
- The defensive line looks much improved. With this new defense set that they were using today, it allowed them to feature the linebacking core. Having players like Bright Ugwoegbu that are able to rush the edge every play is something that will disrupt opposing offenses.
