Gonna need to play better. But I'll give them the benefit for now

They played ok...for a first game I saw no red flags...the run game play calling tho lacked a lot...and was a big reason we seemed ineffective...and what was the lack of Demski in the whole scheme of things...both sides of ball seemed like we were still running preseason offence/defense...

I thought Brady looked hesitant on hitting the line stong. Lots of dancing in the back field. Really really hope Johnny gets the start next week. And yeah I don't know why they decided to not get Demski involved more.

Brady definitely wasnt running in the style he did last yr...looked like he trying to do too much and over thinking and not hitting line like he normally does....Johnny never got a chance with 3 carries....I'm sure that will be fixed up week 2 and onward.

The run game also tapered off so I  am going to guess Ottawa made some adjustments to that. 

Didn't really have an over the top game either so that probably didn't help.

Lack of Demski is actually my fault, fellas... Took him in the LOTW.... He was doomed. 

To be fair RE: the run game, OTT D looked pretty good out there stuffing them, always hard to tell this early on if it was our O being underhlwhelming, or a stout D from the RedBlacks...

Last year Ottawa had a pretty good defense... they were terrible because they had absolutely no offense whatsoever.

Not sure, butI think Harris is better pass blocker than brady, augustine, miller.

Harris was better at picking up the blitz, and we are gonna miss Adams' blocking ability unless someone else steps up. Too bad about Saunders would've been nice to retain Adams, was one of my fav players. C'est la vie.
