No PFF grades up yet but the all-22 is up. Just watched the first passing play (Q1 6:45) from 3rd & 2 on the CAR 37 where Bryce scrambled for the first. Dowdle whiffed going low on the blitzing Oluokun, which forced Bryce to scramble. If not for that, that ball was going to XL on a corner route that he'd have been open. Concerning though that Bryce looked like he was staring the route down (which he definitely did on the first INT of the day). This doesn't absolve Bryce as he made several flat out bad plays throughout the game. Also rather damning is that of the 40 drop backs, according to the filters there was pressure on 16 vs. 24 w/o pressure... though I'm questioning the validity of the early filters because the very first play I mentioned is flagged as "no pressure" when there's very clearly pressure. The first INT was a bad play by Bryce. He thought Murray had started dropping deep to cover Brycen Tremayne, but Murray read Bryce's eyes the whole time which stayed on XL. Murray "broke the rule" here and made a play, but he also wouldn't have made that play had Bryce not been staring XL down for most of the route. Might not get an all-22 review post up until later in the week. I've got a conference next week that I'm prepping for and the family is still reeling from one of our pets passing over the weekend.

poo... BB3 limping? Uuuuuugh I cannot wait to brutalize my mental health further by loading up Marvel Rivals once this game is over.

Chubaaaaaa One of the lone bright spots today.

DB slapped the absolute sin out of Hunter's ankles bah gawd

gaaaaaaaaawd dayum Jaycee!!! Went up there and got it!!!!

Fell asleep during halftime and woke up to the same score. I have mixed feelings. The primary feeling being that I'm old.

Bryce, XL, and Corbett need to clean it up. LBs and Nick Scott need Jesus. I would not be mad to see them start feeding TMac in the second half.

Was a really, really well designed play too. I gotta give credit where credit is due there.

There you go JT! Way to hold on to it through contact.

Tough day at the office for Corbett. Multiple high snaps and a first down negating penalty.

Lucky break on the kickoff. Offense has to get 7pts on this drive to finish the half, especially with good field position.

Jeeeeeesus Whole defense bit

Damn, he's second in tackles behind Moehrig

4 high snaps so far

gdi, so much for good field position after the punt

Way to escape! Need to come away with 7 on this one to get some momentum going.

Damn JT... gotta bring that one in. Would've been a nice chunk.

First down!

And we're back!

3:10 resume time

So... definitely some things that need to be cleaned up but also some positives. Bad Bryce has had more bad plays than good. While he did a good job getting Dowdle lined up on the 3rd down conversion he has also underthrown Renfrow, missed TMac wide left, and then didn't see the DB in the area on the pick. Going to need a lot better than that for the team to not go looking for his replacement next year. LBs are looking extra rough. Rozeboom has bounced off of tackles and Wallace seems to be out of position more often than not. There ain't much talent behind them either. Pressure is coming from coverage creating second chances rather than guys winning on their first step still. Good The run game is looking really good even without Icky. Wharton and Moehrig, the two big defensive signings, are leading the team in tackles at the delay. Both seem to just find their way to the ball. The secondary in general is doing a good job of sticking in coverage + tackling. That LB group is making the middle of the field such a liability though.

damn, was hoping for another 3 and out Moehrig is for sure leading the team in tackles at the moment

damn, Eric Murray made a great play there

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
