Message: [QUOTE="pattycuse, post: 3534908, member: 256"] Couple observations from the half I watched: 1) Anybody questioning Allen as a top tier QB is now just doing so because they don’t want to admit they were wrong (I admit I was). Guy is a stud, and the beauty of it is there is room to grow. Taking a sack to be knocked out of field goal range is a good example. But wow does he look the part. Talent around him sure helps but he is making throws down the seam, over the middle that I wasn’t sure he was ever going to be accurate enough to make. 2) Andre Roberts is a stud on returns but the kicking game remains a point of concern. Borarquez (misspelled, fully acknowledge) cannot kick those “coffin corner” punts to save his life, and laces were definitely not out on the kick Bass missed. He has a monster leg but would like to see refinement in these aspects. At least last year’s shanks have not returned, 3) A tip of the cap to the defense- huge takeaways at key moments and the 4th down stop by Oliver was a thing of beauty. But wow did they allow some chunk plays, and they just looked reactive. Personal view, Edmunds is definitely still hurt. He looks a step slower than last year. If the Titans game gets postponed that might be the best of all worlds, because with the injuries a Week 5 bye might be just what is needed to get a few guys healthy on defense who are banged up. Thinking McDermott will get the ship righted. 4) NFL officials...sigh. 5) The 4th down sweep to McKenzie was a brilliant play call. And I loved the fact that they went for it. Are analytics taking hold at OBD? Love it. 6) How good does 4-0 sound today? Love the fact that three of those wins are against AFC opponents. Lots to be excited about- just need everyone to stay healthy, tighten up the defense and we could have a special season. Victory Monday! [/QUOTE]
