That would be on the defense for allowing 38 points and his RB coughing up a fumble. The fact of the matter is Lamar typically plays well under pressure.

He definitely got sacked a bunch but still put up over 300 yards 3 TDs and 0 turnovers, completing 78% of his passes at over 10 yards per attempt. If that’s not playing well I’ll take it 17/17 games.

The good ones still eat up the blitzes. Lamar is probably the best at it now.

Blitz Peyton Manning and you were asking for trouble

He has to earn it first!

The good ones make you pay. Now if you can pressure without blitzing then year that changes things.

Penix struggles under pressure. This dates back to college. He looked great against his Pac-12 defense and then when they made the playoffs against a good defense he looked erratic like he did last Sunday. If you can force the Falcons to pass and get pressure on him you should have a good day. Their strength will always been the running game with Bijan as long as he is there. The David Moore hate confuses me too. Depth vet who can play special teams and do the dirty work like blocking. He is on a pretty reasonable contract as well.

Mateer is having hand surgery and could miss a month. Then he has to jump in to a tough part of his schedule. Mendoza has a chance to run away with the Heisman race and potential top pick. I still think Dante Moore is about to get some attention.

Not to mention we probably get Wharton back in a couple games. I believe he is one of our better pass rushing DL. LB is still a glaring weakness, hopefully Wallace starts to put it all together (looked better last Sunday), but he still has a long way to go if he wants to be our long term solution there.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Ransom on the field means Scott off the field. I think we were playing some Big Dime with Ransom as the 3rd safety.

I kind of want to see what Thornton can do. He looked legit in his preseason snaps.

That Jackson trade was a pretty solid one. I don't think he is elite or anything but he looks to be a solid CB2 we acquired for our 7th round rookie LB if I remember correctly?

Just keep staying healthy. When healthy he is absolutely one of the best in the business. He is crucial to our defense.

Isn't Jacksonville St in Alabama?

How do you know we didn't call?
