One could probably make a complaint that we kept it ultra-vanilla and didn't really adjust much at all in the second half when things largely stopped working...but one could also say that we did enough in the first half to mostly just "coast" in the second half. Richardson and Hurts are two of the more dangerous QBs in the league with their legs (IMO) and we really contained both of them very well. Something like 70 total rush yards between the two of them. While I am still a little apprehensive about our rush defense on the whole, this is a step in the right direction. Feels like in previous years both of them probably would've rushed for twice as much as they did, if not more. If I had to pick one thing to quibble over it's that I still feel like at times LaFleur leans a little too risk-averse, a little too far towards playing not-to-lose rather than playing to win. That's okay in week 2 with a new backup QB, but I'd like to see a bit more killer instinct developed later in the season.</blockquote>
