[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 172766, member: 2299"] Can't take away too much from games like this. Basically that there was nothing glaringly flawed is the best we could have wanted. One really dumb play by Thomas, but otherwise he looked good. OL, ABs, WRs all did what they were expected to do against an overmatched opponent. Defense, or at least the guys who will usually be playing this year, played better than I expected against a should be respectable offense. Depth looks like it could be an issue, but we'll have to wait and see on that. Could just be jitters. Skov is a hoss and will be valuable, but the way he runs shows he's more fullback than bback right now. Head down immediately bracing for contact whether it is there or not will mean he will be leaving yards on the field due to lack of vision. Still valuable, especially in short yard situations, and late game situations where we are looking to burn clock and wear down defenses. I also see no reason we don't just give it to him every time on the goal line. I don't really agree with switching QBs in that situation, and I think Skov behind our OL should get in the vast majority of the time. Marshall is sort of the opposite of Skov. Great vision, cutting ability, and burst. I think down the line his footwork in the hole will be invaluable for picking up short yardages especially if the OL continues to open up lanes, but with Skov we shouldn't need that this year. Needs to work on ball security, but the positives far outweigh the negative right now. I think we likely see him take over the starting role in a couple of games, and Skov act as a short yardage back, and a closer of sorts. [/QUOTE]
