Frank Kaminsky is my Hero.
~Byron Murphy is starting to play like the #33 pick in the draft. Guy has a knack for getting his hand on the ball whether it be by pick or PD. Not sold 100% on being a lockdown corner, but he’s definitely becoming a reliable defender
~Where’s the pass rush? After Tennessee, it’s been pretty bleak. Trevor Lawrence was one of the worst QBs against the blitz coming into this game, so I would’ve dialed up more pressure, but we still made him look like a rookie. Moving forward, I wouldn’t be shy about sending Budda at the QB
~One thing I learned about WRs from watching Fitz over the last 100 years was that not everything depreciates with time. AJ Green, though not the AJ Green of 8 years ago, still has good hands (except for the 3&1 drop) and great mechanics. The types of adjustments he made on under-thrown balls and sideline catches were vintage AJ. When Hop is being bracketed, or just off, AJ is a reliable weapon
~That Kirk price tag keeps going up. I dont count on him being a Cardinal after this season
~Rondale Moore needs to touch the ball more than three times in a game. I guess since Kirk and AJ were balling it wasn’t imperative, but when the offense was playing in mud in the first half, Kliff should’ve thrown some gadgets out there to get Moore in space
~That Kyler interception was almost cookie cutter from the one last week. No, it’s not a hand to the face/helmet, it’s a poor decision. It’s fine to admit that, since he’s done far more great than bad, but he has to considerably minimize the brain cramps if this team is going to be a contender moving forward
~Overall, the defense has played 10/12 good-to-great quarters of football. Credit to Vance Joseph, who’s done a stellar job putting his players in positions to succeed. I was on him about Isaiah Simmons last year, but it looks like VJ knew what he was doing.
~I’m not budging on my Kliff take. That FGA was one of the dumbest play calls I’ve seen in this sport. The touchdown that happened was far more likely to happen than the FG going through. As well as the Pugh injury that ensued. I wouldn’t even do that crap in Madden. Same with the fake punt that never was. There’s everything to lose and much less to gain with those types of plays. It’s this pattern of reckless play calling that makes me think he’s nothing more than an offensive coordinator in this league. I give you credit if you can come away from that and think Kliff can coach this team into a contender, because his recent history indicates otherwise
~Obviously too soon, but this current crop of rookie QBs kinda sucks. I think Lawrence figures it out sooner rather than later, but none of these guys have stood out as locks.
~Gus Johnson is becoming one of my most favorite PxP callers in sports. His Gus-gasms are hysterical. FOX has to save him from the catastrophe that is Aqib Talib.
