But I think it was pretty genius of Teal to be able to pull that off. Disrupting the catch by pushing his blocker into him… Perfectly legal. That’s a nice heads up play!

RG Keydrick Vincent and LT Jordan Gross need to pick it up

That hurry up at the end of the half, they looked clueless. Jake was desperately trying to get them to get in position, yet they acted like he was speaking a foreign language or something

I dont care if we won against a redskins team that subbed in their senior citizen grandparents. I’ll take that win.

I thought Pep got the safety. TD is deserving of consideration. Can’t edit the poll though unfortunately

I’m still gives big props to special teams. The delhomme pass to King as very nice. I agree it was good the Panthers continued to run the ball even though running was getting nowhere early

DeAngelo has like 50 yards. Stewart had maybe 2 nice carries. Those 25 passes are the only thing that moved the ball.

ST are why we won. Teal’s turn over and Moores near TD return are what turned things around.

King is the total package, though Rosario is the more explosive catching threat. I saw a couple of times that Rosario broke into the open field when they sent the whole house on a blitz.

I still think that the most important thing we can do is coach our O-Line back to prominence. Jordan Gross needs to get his act together to protect Jake’s blind side. If he can’t do it, make sure King is over there to give him a helping hand at all times. Getting the ball to our tight ends will help out two, giving the linebackers other things to worry about besides the running game.

You can’t just pass, pass, pass with our attack, we don’t run enough three and four-receiver sets and our offense isn’t built that way. We have a power running game because it’s reliable and it fits our personnel well.

In that sort of offense, you expect to run more than you throw, and you have to convince the defense that you’re always poised to run the ball. Then when Jake appears to hand off the ball the safeties get frozen and don’t slide into coverage as quickly. That means Moose and Smitty are in single coverage rather than blanketed with a deep zone.

If you keep it up, late in the game the lines are tired and you start getting things like 12 yard runs and reliable third and one conversions.

With all that said, I would love to pass more to our backs—I think it’s in keeping with our offense. But we need to have 30 runs up the middle to make it work, whether they get positive yardage or not. It’s not being stubborn, it’s sticking to your strengths. And it’s no coincidence that as soon as we did that this year, we won.

It’s hack journalism at it’s finest. Czarnecki reported that he heard from someone that Fox told friends/associates something—that’s third hand information at best, presented as fact.

Glad to have you back docnolz! and its nice to get a ‘W’ too.
