I'd like to think the d and many young guys will look more together with Houston and berry making some adjustments. But mostly I hope they don't look like they did in preparation season game 1.

Atlanta will be a good first quarter test next week.

The most glaring thing I saw on defense is we didn't fix the pass rush problem. It's only one game, the first one at that, but I fear our secondary is going to get picked clean like roadside carrion if it doesn't get addressed.

One of mine just did

He must have watched tape from game 1

Yes, this.

Ford does one thing well, and he does it only one way. He has an outside speed pass rush. I hope Speaks can take the starting job, and Ford can come in on third downs to do his outside speed rush.

Then it's a shart

Is it just me or does it look like Speaks is playing too heavy? The way he carries his weight looks like he could greatly benefit from dropping 15-20 lbs. He could probably gain some explosiveness. Looks like too much of his 285 is being carried in his midsection.

James Harrison always played heavy, but he’s a freak of nature and absolute workout warrior.

Was at camp today and Chris Jones was treating Cam Erving like a 20 dollar whore.

When did Chris Jones get traded to the Texans?

Glad to see the OL actually did their job then

I noticed in a closeup that Speaks actually has a gut on him, which may be okay for a defensive tackle, but it serves on purpose on an OLB. I hope they limit his barbecue.

He didn't, he did however abuse him in training camp practice today.

He has a bit of a pooch, but its not like its some swollen beer belly

Give the kid time to grow into himself, and some time in a legit pro strength program... too much is being made of it, IMHO
