The QB battle. Who's going to step up at RDE on the defense? What the heck is our offensive line going to look like? How does the secondary look without Aqib Talib back there? Can the rookie punter make Britton Colquitt expendable?
Tonight we get to start putting some pieces of the puzzle together. Tonight we get to stop listening to the likes of Tim and Scotty pounding the table for Paxton Lynch and actually see on the field which QB seems to have the right stuff.
Here's Sadaraine's No Bull list of items I'll be watching:
- The QB performance (duh)
- Play of the interior offensive line
- #3-#6 WRs...who brings some goods to the table that will add to our offense?
- Shane Ray and Shaquil Barrett - do they look like starters?
- Kilgo and Peko - Who's our future at NT?
- Justin Simmons and Will Parks - I'm a big fan of both and I want to see how good they look at safety for us
- Riley Dixon - does he have what it takes to get our punting game to a respectable level?
Grab your wings, popcorn, drinks, and football watching friends and enjoy. Game on at 6pm MDT tonight.
