Over/Under on the first Tez penalty for targeting? 10:00 minutes?
Weird win. I didn't see anything but highlights. Looks like we absolutely killed ourselves for 2.5 quarters and then they imploded in the final quarter. 4-1 is a great start - And the team looks like they really give a damn. I don't think they are as talented as the 2015 version, but they play like they care again.
Didnt the ball hence off of someone 's hands? Thought I saw that from Hoard on twitter.I watched the game, that INT was indeed on Dalton. He threw it into too tight of coverage near the end zone. Dalton played pretty well. Couple non-calls really left me scratching my head, but nothing too out in left field in the game against either team. Refs did a decent job calling the game. Better than they have been in past weeks.
It was reflected when thrown to Green, but the defender was right on Green's tail, and reached in at the right time and it deflected off his hand up into the air. That pick was on Dalton, coverage was just too damn tight. Had to be someone else open with 2-3 guys covering Green.
I think the offense is better. The defense is what is struggling and if they can somehow wind back into form and become a solid defense by the end of the season, we may have something in the playoffs. That special teams is awfully special though. I hope coverage teams get better.
No issues with Bullock or Huber, or Erickson, but boy, coverage and blocking package players need to improve.
No way this offense is better than 2015. In 2015, the line had Whitworth and Zeitler.... Replaced by Glenn and Redmond. Not even close.
In 2015 the second and third receivers were Marvin Jones and Mo Sanu. Now they are Tyler Boyd and John "Sure Hands" Ross. Love me some Boyd, but this is definitely in favor of 2015.
In 2015 you had a healthy Tyler Eifert. Now we have Tyler Kroft. Advantage 2015.
The only place I'd say we are better is at running back. Joe Mixon is an upgrade over Jeremy Hill.
We have a secondary WR, and a star RB. Granted, I will give you Eifert and the line, but the line hasn't kept us from putting 30+ a game on the board. Eifert will be missed, he was a mismatch nightmare for D-coordinators.
Uzomah has stepped up in the pass catching end of things a bit this year. I like what he is doing so far. Plus, Schreck made a hell of a block for Mixon. Maybe between all of them they can create a decent year for us from that position.
