We reached the quarter point of the regular season so we have a decent sample size to make some judgments:
As expected:
1) Cook is very good
2) Price is money
3) Dline is money and the depth with this group is very good
4) smooth transition from Narduzzi to HB in the booth
5) Running back group is very good
Surprises:
1) Burbridge - knew he was good but he is on pace to have an All-American year
2) Copeland looked like a future NFL CB before he got hurt
3) Riley and Reschke are both better than I thought
4) Hartbarger is better than expected
5) Nice to see Evans playing well. Will need him as a starter next year. Like that kid. Thought he might eat his way out of town. Glad I was wrong
Disappointments:
1) Geiger doesn't look healthy - Can we go through an entire season not needing some big kicks?
2) Oline - they have been good but not top 5 in the country good. Plenty of season left for improvement
3) Play calling - Warner has been the best we have had in the MD era but I'm not sure he has got in rhythm yet with this group. Where is Lyles in the passing game? Where are passes to the RB's?
4) Special teams play - coverage units
5) Back-up DB's haven't been great when given their chance to play
