Indecisive route running contributed to both interceptions. He faked Cam out on both of the plays, the first one he acted like he was going inside in front of the defender but kep going vertical. The second he started running to Cam’s left then stopped as Cam threw a pick expecting Ian to keep moving.  Both of these are correctable and I hope Thomas will continue to get better and develop the chemistry with Cam.

Yep.  He's got the skills, just needs the discipline in his game.  His ceiling is unreal and he had another great 3rd down catch today that didn't count.

Agree, on that one int cam was getting rushed and equally rushed the throw and put it on a bad spot. Thomas could have done a better job reacting to the ball. Just a good defensive play

I put blame on them equally.

First INT was definitely Thomas but sitting in an open area is often what he’s supposed to do when the 2nd one happened. Little unclear if that was his fault.

I thought the same at first but he didn’t just sit, he started to move and then stopped. When you just sit, like Olsen typically does, he doesn’t flinch and puts his hands out expecting the pass. These are subtle split second decisions that come with experience.

Jeez,.. OJ Howard looked almost like a lost cause his first season,... I know because I live in Orlando and get the Bucs games,...yuck.

Now he's looked like a first round tightend,.. good routes, catches strong,.. blocks well.

Ian was drafted later,.. was thrown into the Olsen shoes really fast. No excuse, hes got to get better,.. but we won so everyone should chill.  Also chill the Cam sucks stuff. His Ints were on receivers, he threw good passes, made the right decisions.  

DJ is starting to come on, Samuel got through the game without injury,..Ian will get better.  Great teams often start off ugly,.. but if you can get to 3-1 ugly, imagine what happens when it clicks?

Ian had some nice plays, not sure who is to blame on those 2 routes.  One time it looked like he was supposed to sit down and Cam threw a bad pass.  Hard to tell really.  Cam certainly made some bad decisions throughout the day.  I think the offense would work better if we stayed with what is working.  Early on we had some nice passing plays and it looked like an easy victory then we got all conservative and kept trying to run up the middle which just wasn't working but we kept doing it because we have the lead.     None of this is surprising because it is a recurring theme of the Rivera era.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
