Funchess stepped up today.

Are we seeing a star emerging or just a good game? Funchess was running some GREAT routes absolutely breaking Butler's ankles all day. His only mishap was that one drop, but damn, coming back from injury and getting a CLUTCH 1st down was huge. Hats off to that man.

2 TD's and a couple of clutch plays. On this day, he was NOT a bum.

Meh, Ed Dickson looked like an all star, too, and our O-line looked good. I think its just because the patriots defense is so bad and not because Dickson or Funchess actually played any better than normal or are showing signs of improvement. However, it was nice to see Funchess look good even if it was because of the terrible defense and of course I'm a bit optimistic regardless that he can have these types of performances against better defenses in the future.

Nothing in your post says that you're a bit optimistic haha

    • his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen. 
    • Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.
    • Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
