I was very impressed with the spring game today. I thought both sides played well particularly for April.

A few notes...
- Loved the fact Lanning allowed the offense to open up. This will not be a ground and pound situation we have seen since the Chip Kelly era
- DJ Johnson has a chance to be really good on the DL. I realize the OL was split squad but still, the Predator made many plays
- Chase Cota is going to be a big time help on for the offense
- Seven McGee is looking outstanding. I've loved him long long time so am very happy he is getting to show his wares now
- Dan Lanning was a good hire
- I'm hoping the RB's get a chance to shine more during the season. I like a balanced attack so we need to be able to run the ball
- Glad the Ducks got the missed FG's out of the way now
- The DB mix should be new and interesting. Guys like JJ Greenfield showed out.
- The QB situation... very interesting. Bo Nix looked good mostly, but sometimes bad. Ty Thompson clearly can be excellent, but has work to do. Butterfield had some solid moments himself
- Ducks need the LB group to be healthy for the season to be a great one
- Hoping the OL looks better once it's not split squad. They have every opportunity to be good, but we need to see it.
