Quick Thoughts - Week 8

[ChaosTheory]

-Worst game by the defense all year.

-At one point, the front-7 looked good against the run, except for Hill in the wildcat. Eventually, though, they were worn down and got gashed.

-Franklin was messed up. Kept coming back, surprisingly. Didn't look the same.

-Leonard was in on a lot of plays and I like having him as one of our LBs... but he has yet to show ANY resemblance of that $19m player we signed pre-surgery. Still being patient, but as of now, he looks like an off-season cut (because nobody will trade for that contract).

-Jaylon Jones was made love to. Tony Brown was molested.

-Pass rush wasn't good. Only 1 sack and 2 QB hits.

-Big plays were brutal. A couple, like the almost INT by Thomas, were tough. Most were bad plays by us.

-Offense is very simple in my mind: Taylor and Moss ran the ball 23 total times, Minshew threw the ball 41 times. Does not work with this team. Situational or not, we HAVE to run the ball.

-Quick count... 18 of our RB's 23 carries were in the first half. And we were gashing them. Scored 20 points.

-We had 5 fucking rushes in the entire 2nd half. JT, our fresh, $42m back, had one single carry in the 2nd. Moss had 4, including our second 40+ yarder. Our final rush of the game came with 4:36 left in the 3rd quarter.


I might rewatch to nitpick the OL and WR, but it doesn't matter. We're set up for failure when we abandon the run.
