Had a real nice game. Should have had a TD Kyler just didn't get enough of a step into the throw so he had to wait for it on the 54 yarder. Had a nice catch, and he was on the field a fair amount of time as a punt returner, on kick returns etc.

After last week I was quite concerned he was going to be riding the bench again but he was a factor today

He had the type of game we need for him to have. Get deep 1 or 2 times a game and make the defense scared. He BLEW past everyone on Washington's D....If Kyler had been able to put more mustard on it he beats everyone to the endzone by 15-20 yards.

The rest of his game can continue to evolve, he showed nice hands on another catch.

What we should reasonably be able to expect from him as a 2nd rounder is that he can use his one elite skill (speed) and have an impact on the game.

Happy for him. Hopefully we are just scratching the surface with him. He seems to be playing with a lot more confidence.

Drafting Andy Isabella in the second round is looking better and better. He had 2 receptions for 67 yards.

He should only get better and better with more opportunities.

Good job by Issy and Kirk showed up today as well. That sideline catch was very impressive and went for 48 yds IIRC. How many catches did Fitz have that resulted in a 1st down? Hopkins also came up big on 3rd down. I'm very happy with the Cards WR corp and our TE's are probably the best we have had in ages.

Four receivers with over 50 yards. That is a thing of beauty.

Izzy just needs confidence. There’s very little pressure in terms of production needed. He will have a few game breaking plays this year.

Kirk get open he just needs targets.

Fitz still creates separation in the intermediate and catches everything as well as an elite blocker.

Hop is playing like an all pro 1st teamer

Arnold, Maxx, Drake and Chase (improving) are all capable in the passing game

We haven’t had this level of options across the board before!
