Loved what I saw out of Tyrod Taylor yesterday.  It's like Michael Vick came up to Buffalo and reminded everyone that Taylor is not a pure pocket passer.

We need to utilize his running ability every game like we did yesterday. (Just get down! No need for the hit he took that knocked out a contact lens near the goal line). We win that Cinci game if Taylor actually used his feet once in a while.

The passing game seemed much more unpredictable.  How can you evaluate a QB when he throws on only throwing downs?

Chemistry Chemistry Chemistry.  We have meh WRs but even worse, there's no chemistry due to Watkins being traded right before the season started.   Look what happens when Taylor gets comfortable with players - Charles Clay was tearing it up before injury, Matthews was getting better and better.  Now we bring back Deonte Thompson and boom, 106 yards.

Taiwan Jones would've had a TD if he kept running through his route. Instead he cut it short and had to speed up again.  These guys have to get comfortable with each other.

I really want to see the passing game expanded more and more with our Tight Ends, Matthews and Thompson being the focus.  I know we're a running team but don't we want to know if Taylor can be "the guy"?  (We can run the ball without it being overkill. Pretty much every Tolbert run can be a throw as I'm concerned.) He shows glimpses.  We could build a pretty nice team real quick if those six pick in the first three rounds don't need to be used on a QB.

Also, these QBs don't exactly look like guys I want to be massively trading up for anyway.
