Yeah they did a better then expected job yesterday, sidenote has it been released on whether Darryl is done for the year or not ?

Nothing official that I've heard, but footballguys.com has a doctor on staff who is saying it's "doubtful" that he returns after the IR stint.  

Ref:  Clark, it looked like they were giving him help on some plays, which is good.  He seemed to be able to force the outside speed rush just far enough behind Cam to give that extra second that a QB needs to finish his progressions and/or step up where the pocket is cleaner.  Tak McKinley got home a few times though, and the Falcons seemed to be able to confuse the left side with stunts.  I'm curious to see how they grade out on PFF this week.

I expected a dumpster fire, but only saw a small trash can aflame. 

Honestly not as bad as I anticipated and could actually improve if given time to gel with one another... hopefully... maybe.

No time for that.

We have Matt and Amini coming back. Honest question...when they do...you think Ron will bench them?

I posted elsewhere (probably unread):

 

"And about the OL, I might add that all the fears about Amini getting the nod from RR were unfounded.  He only saw the field for 4 snaps on ST.  The 5 guys that started on the OL (Clark, Van Roten, Kalil, Larsen, and Moton) played EVERY snap -- haven't seen that in ages.  With the success they exhibited (2 sacks allowed, on a heavy passing day for Cam), and a 6.7 rushing average on 18 runs, we should see no changes there."

Van Rotten is the MVP of this game, with Turner coming back this OL is going to be top 10!

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
