Week 1 of the season is in the books, as teams have revealed the strengths and weakne ses they've been trying to highlight and hide throughout training camp. There's plenty of film exploiting a formula of how to beat them in Week 2 -- or later in the season.The tape is out there, along with a game plan that teams are looking to https://www.shopthunderedge.com/oklahoma-city-thunder-jeresy/george-hill-jersey replicate. What i sues does every team have to fix or improve prior to Week 2? Let's dive in: ARI QB #9 CMP%70.0YDs132TD0INT0YD/Att4.4 Josh Dobbs averaging just 4.4 yards per attempt isn't going to win football games, especially considering how well the defense played in Week 1. The Cardinals had just 210 yards of offense and failed to score an offensive touchdown. Dobbs just joined the Cardinals two weeks ago, but the offense needs to take more shots downfield if it actually wants to put points on the board. ATL TE #8 TAR3REC2REC YDs44REC TD0FL0 What's the point of drafting these players high in the first round if they don't get targets? Pitts had just three targets and London had one, as threw just 18 pa ses (completed 15 of them). The Falcons have a great rushing attack, but they need to get the football to their playmaking pa s-catchers on offense to avoid being one dimensional. BAL QB #8 CMP%77.3YDs169TD0INT1YD/Att7.68 The Ravens offensive line came out of the game slow against the new-look defense, allowing seven pre sures in the first half. The pa s blocking improved in the second half, allowing just four pre sures. The run game suffered, however, as the Ravens had 18 carries for 49 yards (2.7 yards per carry) in the second half compared to 14 carries for 61 yards (4.4 yards per carry in the first half). The offensive line just has to be more consistent in both pa s and run blocking against Cincinnati. BUF QB #17 CMP%70.7YDs236TD1INT3YD/Att5.76 Allen threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in the Week 1 lo s to the , playing too aggre sive when he didn't have to against a New York team with playing. Allen has the most giveaways since the start of last season -- and the most since 2018. The carele s play has , and his reputation as a quarterback. Allen needs to pull the reins back a bit if the Bills want to win games against inferior teams. CAR QB #9 CMP%52.6YDs146TD1INT2YD/Att3.84 debut was , yet the entire team wasn't good in the Week 1 lo s to the Falcons. The Panthers had nine penalties for 65 yards, a holding penalty on special teams, a delay of game penalty on offense, and a pa s interference penalty and a too many men on the field penalty on defense. Three giveaways also led to 17 points for the Falcons. Carolina just has to play smoother football. CHI QB #1 CMP%64.9YDs216TD1INT1YD/Att5.84 Fields threw 37 pa ses Sunday, but those throws were more checkdowns -- as his actual depth of target was 3.1 and yards per attempt was 4.6. There were just two targets to , and the longest completion was 23 yards to . With Moore and Mooney, more shots need to be taken downfield. That's on play-caller Luke Getsy. CIN K #2 As poor as was in the opener, special teams might have been worse. The weather didn't help, but the Bengals mi sed a kick, had a botched snap, and averaged 40.9 yards per punt on https://www.shopthunderedge.com/oklahoma-city-thunder-jeresy/darius-bazley-jersey 10 punt attempts (37.4 net average). Cincinnati needs a clean performance on special teams against Baltimore. CLE QB #4 CMP%55.2YDs154TD1INT1YD/Att5.31 In better conditions, Watson might have had a bigger day throwing the football. Watson's average depth of target was fourth in the league, as the Browns receivers were getting open against the Bengals secondary. Per Next Gen Stats, Watson was third in intended average air yards -- so he took his chances when given the opportunity. The Browns offense needs to keep that approach. DAL WR #3 TAR4REC2REC YDs22REC TD0FL0 Dallas didn't exactly need Cooks on Sunday during its 40-point destruction of the . Cooks was getting open throughout the night, which opened up the offense for other opportunities. The Jets secondary is one of the best in the , though, so Dallas will need to target Cooks again and use his route running to move the chains. DEN SS #22 Sean Payton emphasized cutting down the penalties in 2023, yet Denver had 10 penalties for 97 yards in Week 1. The biggest one was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty by with 2:54 left on a play that would have gotten the defense off the field in a one-point game. Instead, the were able to run out the clock and claim victory. This problem lies beyond Nathaniel Hackett, as penalties are still an i sue for this team. DET RB #26 Att7Yds42TD0FL0 Week 1 wasn't finest as a play-caller, especially with the lack of usage of Jahmyr Gibbs. The first-round pick played just 19 snaps and had nine touches for 60 yards (6.6 yards per touch). He's a cheat code in an offense with playmakers and an efficient quarterback. The Lions need to use him more and take advantage of his skill set. GB QB #10 CMP%55.6YDs245TD3INT0YD/Att9.07 This is just being nit-picky with how well the Packers played Sunday, but certainly took advantage of attacking the middle of the field in the blowout win over the Bears. He didn't have either, so take that into accord. If Watson is back this week, let's see if Love targets between the numbers and the sidelines more. HOU RB #31 Att11Yds38TD0FL0 The Texans were only down by one point entering the second half, yet the final box score showed they had 48 pa s attempts and had 23 designed runs. wasn't on the field for 50% of the snaps and had 11 carries. With Pierce and at running back, the Texans need to commit to the run -- especially with a rookie quarterback.

Their running backs had 16 carries for 25 yards, an average of 1.6 yards per carry. had 13 carries for 14 yards. For the Colts sake, may significantly improve this group if he's back this week. The running game can't get any worse. JAC OG #68 Losing is the bigger concern, but Jacksonville allowed two sacks and eight pre sures in Sunday's win. ability to get rid of the football helped out those numbers. The running game didn't erupt until the fourth quarter, as Jacksonville struggled to get anything going on the ground early. The Jaguars have some i sues to correct up front. KC WR #19 This should improve with potentially returning this week, but the wideouts had their struggles getting open in the second half of their Week 1 lo s. was a non-factor and had three drops, one of which led to seven points from the Lions. The wideouts have to make a more significant impact going forward. Perhaps more targets for will help. LV CB Notice the theme here? The Raiders were one of the most penalized teams in the NFL last season, and they had 10 penalties for 97 yards Sunday. had two pa s interference penalties that aided two touchdown drives, but he's also a rookie cornerback. The Raiders were 30th in penalties for per game last year -- and Sunday didn't exactly showcase they've improved in that department. LAC DB #27 The Chargers had no answer for Mike McDaniel's bread and https://www.shopthunderedge.com/oklahoma-city-thunder-jeresy/aleksej-pokusevski-jersey butter. Miami confused Los Angeles on every play, moving guys around the backfield and exposing the defense. There was a reason why nearly every receiver seemed to gain separation. Whatever defensive scheme the Chargers were running was exposed because of the lack of ability to react. Brandon Staley has to clean that up. LAR RB #23 Att15Yds52TD2FL0 The Rams certainly want Williams to play a factor in the run game, as evidenced by his two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the . The run game averaged just 2.3 yards per carry, but Williams had 52 yards and two scores. Perhaps using Williams more in the backfield will help that run game and make the unit more efficient. MIA OLB #2 The Dolphins allowed 234 rushing yards and 5.9 yards per carry against the Chargers last week, having no answer to contain or . If it wasn't for the Chargers abandoning Ekeler in the fourth quarter, the Dolphins may be 0-1 despite having 536 yards of offense. Poor angles and mi sed a signments led to the run defense woes, which are signs of adjusting to a new defensive coordinator. Miami can't be that bad this week. MIN RB #2 Att11Yds34TD0FL0 Think the Vikings are mi sing yet? Minnesota had 14 carries for 34 yards from its two running backs (2.4 yards per carry), a product of the interior of its offensive line. The Vikings will have to clean that up against an improved run defense. They did sign to the active roster this week to help out . NE QB #10 CMP%64.8YDs316TD3INT1YD/Att5.85 The Patriots would be 1-0 if they didn't create a 16-0 hole against the Eagles -- all self-inflicted wounds. Two early drops stalled drives, while one led to an interception return for a touchdown. A fumble led to a touchdown and an offensive penalty took away a negative play early in the game. A better start will help New England against Miami. NO OT #70 Hope the Saints learned that Penning needs help at left tackle, as he struggled blocking one-on-one against and (the latter finished with eight pre sures). Penning allowed two sacks and six pre sures, as his footwork is still a work in progre s. The Saints need an extra blocker next to Penning for the time being https://www.shopthunderedge.com/oklahoma-city-thunder-jeresy/ricky-rubio-jersey . NYG OT #78 The offensive line has , but the overall unit still stinks. was pre sured on 60% of his dropbacks and was sacked six times. The unit allowed 22 pre sures against a defense that attacks with multiple fronts. The Cardinals defense isn't a pushover, either. This has to be better in Week 2. NYJ QB #2 CMP%66.7YDs140TD1INT1YD/Att6.67 The offensive line played a major role in being lost for the season after four plays. If Zach Wilson couldn't run away from the pre sure, he would have suffered the same fate. The offensive line allowed 14 pre sures in the win, a number that has to be significantly reduced going forward. Perhaps handing the ball off more will improve that mark, especially since Wilson is the quarterback. PHI QB #1 CMP%66.7YDs170TD1INT0YD/Att5.15 The Eagles didn't attempt many pa ses downfield in Sunday's win over the Patriots, attempting just three pa ses over 20-plus air yards ( went 0 for 3). Only 12 pa ses were thrown 10-plus air yards in the game -- and Hurts completed four of them. Brian Flores will mix things up for the Vikings like Bill Belichick did for the Patriots, but Minnesota doesn't have the same personnel as New England. The offense needs to attack downfield. PIT RB #22 Att6Yds31TD0FL0 Easier said than done when the team faces a 20-0 deficit midway through the second quarter, but the Steelers only had 10 carries in Sunday's lo s to the -- and one of them was . Going three-and-out on four of the first five po se sions (with an interception on the other po se sion) could be avoided by giving the ball to and . That's on Matt Canada. SF OG #74 The 49ers were basically perfect in Sunday's win over the Steelers … except they had 11 penalties for 85 yards. The 11 penalties were second most in the NFL, not good for a team that finished tied for seventh in the league last year. While the penalties didn't cost the 49ers on Sunday, they need to cut down the flags being thrown on them. SEA CB #21 The Seahawks pa s defense was picked apart in Sunday's lo s to the Rams, probably as a result of all the combinations Seattle tried during the preseason. The Seahawks have too many guys who can play multiple positions, which will get even more confusing if returns this week. Too many different corners and safeties on the field led to confusion in pa s defense. TB RB #1 Att17Yds39TD0FL0 The Vikings aren't exactly a physical team, yet the Buccaneers had 33 carries for 73 yards -- an average of 2.2 yards per carry. longest run was six yards, as he had 17 carries for 39 yards in the win. The Buccaneers were taking shots downfield, but they'll convert more if the run game can actually be more productive. TEN QB #17 CMP%47.1YDs198TD0INT3YD/Att5.82 threw three interceptions in Sunday's lo s to the Saints, not looking like the veteran quarterback who has efficiently led the offense over the https://www.shopthunderedge.com/oklahoma-city-thunder-jeresy/luguentz-dort-jersey past five years. Sure, Tannehill was pre sured throughout the game, but his decision-making was poor -- especially when forcing pa ses to . Tannehill was 16 of 34 for 198 yards and three interceptions (28.8 rating). He must have a clean game Sunday. WAS QB #14 CMP%61.3YDs202TD1INT1YD/Att6.52 If Eric Bieniemy wants to continue taking shots downfield (which is a great sign), the Commanders have to protect better. He was sacked six times and hit six times. The run blocking wasn't much better, as the run game averaged just 3.3 yards per carry. The offensive line was a weakne s going into the year and didn't do anything to prove the doubters wrong.
