Davidson Deac II

Fwiw, I think Mac Jones looks better than any of the other rookie qb's so far. Not that the bar is very high. He is struggling today, but the Saints d is very tough for a rookie qb given how good they are at run d.

I always felt the tank for Trevor comments were just silly, but I do think it is way to early to write the class off. It really does take a couple of years to see what most qb's have.

Then on the next series, pick six by Lawrence.

Jaguars learned how to keep Lawrence from throwing a pick. Run the ball. 8 Play drive, 75 yards, not a single pass, to go up by two scores.

The vast majority of fans don't think that way, at least not this early in the season.

Hope you are right. And I hope we continue to create that buzz.

Surprising ratings from our game. https://sports.yahoo.com/texans-vs-panthers-most-watched-232115866.html The Darnold factor? Interesting and surprising. Maybe some of the off season attention related to Watson caused more people to watch? NFL starting to recover from the ratings drop?

Amusing, but he receives less coverage because he plays on a team that isn't in NY, isn't the Cowboys/Steelers and hasn't had a winning season since 2017

Maybe he was always this good, just had to find the right defense/coaching staff/surrounding players to bring it out in him.

Its not just the amount of points though. We had several long time consuming drives last night. We only had the ball four times in the entire second half (assuming nfl box score is correct). Two td's, one field goal, and ran out the clock on the last one. That is extremely efficient.

I don't really care about PFF, its rather pointless. The oline struggled at times last night, but seemed to do a lot better in the 4th qtr. Late in the game, Sam had time and the running backs had some holes to run thru. We were able to run the ball even when they knew we would be running the ball. One interesting thing from last night. We didn't punt one single time in the entire second half. We either scored or ran out the clock.

For the defense, Dallas will be a bigger test than either Minnesota or Arizona. I hate Dallas, but Dak at this point in his career than either Cousins or Murray. And the Cowboys are getting over five ypc in the run game. They have a very balanced attack.

Who is Batum?

Started a little ragged, but overall it was a great second half by the offense.

Hubbard has played fairly well in the second half.

The Texans have some good receivers. If Deshaun hadn't screwed up, he could be having a pretty decent year.

11 actually, but yeah I agree.

I don't agree with going for it, but I hope they make it.

And someone has to get open and catch it. Which is why I think that saying any qb does it alone is a mistake. None of them, not even Cam did it alone.

DJ Moore begs to differ. 8 Receptions for 126 yards.

Might be Hubbard's best run of the year. Really pushed the pile to get that two yards.

Make Tremble the running back.

But easier to win when the other team can't score. That being said, we definitely need to put a few more points on the board.

I agree about the dline. If memory serves, we went out and signed Allen just for that reason. But I think you are underestimating the secondary. Had some age on it, but all in all, the secondary played very well that season.

I think the 2002 d was the best panther defense I ever saw. They just go no help from the offense.
