Am I the only one who's been calling him Chris O-lado-kun in my head all this time only to find out it's actually Chris O-la-dokun?

Probably.

I never looked at the pronunciation key on the roster for him. I've just been sort of saying it in my head wrong since he was a recruit.

Do that all the time. 

Pronunciation key (and professionalism) is  how they never tripped over Tagovailoa in championship.

So any observations on QB play? Or RB? Anyone distance themselves?

I would say neither QB distanced themselves but Oladokun definitely showed that his wheels bring something extra to the offense.  A couple of his runs would have been big plays in live situations.  It also allowed the offense to extend some drives and show some rhythm.  Kean made a some really good throws on the deep balls to Dukes and Salomon.  The most impressive thing to me was he answered Oladokun's scoring drives by getting scoring drives of his own right after.  I like the ability to come right back and respond like that.  This will be a great battle but I think Oladokun's wheels eventually win him the job as their ability as a passers are so close.   

 

As for RB.  it was tough sledding for Conkrite and Mack most of the day with all the OL guys out.   Cronkrite showed a little explosiveness on a couple good chunk runs and also made some catches out of the back field (Keep it up Gilbert!!!!).   Mack ran with good power and moved the pile a bit on his runs which is something we lacked last season.  They will be a great one two punch of a big play slashing runner and a true power back that punishes defenders.

Anyone else surprised with the "game" gloves handed out at the end of the game?  They are UA, so my guess is they were leftovers after the Adidas switch.

Definitely a nice surprise.  I got some green ones that said they were "property of 90" on the inside.   A nice little bonus for making the trip down from Jax
