Agree. Drexel and the right side of the OL all struggled. Taylor replaced Goncalves at the end and did much better. Hope he gets more of a chance. As far as Drexel, IMO we have better options at C. As you said he really got pushed around.Agree with your comments. Particularly on the O line and wrt Drexel. He got pushed around quite a bit on the plays I watched him specifically. Also, our DB's aren't slow to turn their heads, they just don't turn their heads at all on many plays. Very frustrating because on several TD throws they had reasonably good coverage but never looked for the ball. You're going to get abused if you're not looking for the ball, particularly on fade routes. Also leaves you vulnerable to many PI calls (which we've seen). Found an interesting article on why DB's fail to find the ball.
You Had Great Coverage So Why Didn't You Turn Your Head Around - alleyesdbcamp
Amateur fan and professional coach alike will tell you that one of their pet peeves when it comes to defensive backs is not looking for the football. There’s nothing like a guy being in a player’s hip pocket and having the wide receiver catch the football for no reason other than the defensive...alleyesdbcamp.com
Enjoy.

Very frustrating when our DB’s don’t turn their heads. Last year Mathis was really good at turning his head.
