A short song for some unsung heroes

A lot of well deserved talk tonight about Kyle Allen, and a few others, but I'd like to throw some garlands of appreciation to a few other valuable contributors to today's upset win, on the road:

1) Joey Slye just keeps making those FGs, doesn't he?  He now leads the NFL with 4 FGs of over 50 yds. See, it all worked out that we didn't keep Butker, didn't it?

2) James Bradberry held the heralded DeAndre Hopkins to just 5 receptions, for a measly 41 yards.

3) Coach Rivera, who has turned this Defense into a force of its own, since he's taken over our defensive game planning.  Did you know our 18 sacks, in 4 games, are tied with NE for the league lead?

4) CMC.  Unsung? Maybe not, but did you know he joined Jim Brown as the ONLY TWO players in NFL HISTORY to record 175 yds from scrimmage, and a TD, in 3 of the first 4 games of a season?

5) Super Mario Addison has 5 sacks in the last 2 games, and is now 3rd in the league with 5 1/2.

6) Jarius Wright, who caught 5 passes, for 59 yds, and it seemed like every one was for a FD, as it always does.  The guy is clutch.

7) lastly, high fives for Vernon Butler, Ross Cockrell, and Eric Reid, all of whom put their marks on the win, as well.

All these contributors define a "team win," and it all bodes well for the future.

David Newton’s ESPN breakdown of today’s game...

This is what coach Ron Rivera envisioned during the offseason when he added more speed to the defense, particularly at outside linebacker, and made the switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3 front after finishing 27th in the NFL in sacks a season ago.

 

Get this man an editor this is getting embarrassing

Good one!  I had to read your post 3 times before I caught what you meant by needing an editor.

Most people covering the team have very little enthusiasm for it. Remember, it’s their job. Jobs can become a mundane grind if you have the wrong mindset 

Keep in mind, I said most. There are some very good people covering the team too, and I think you guys can figure out who they are.

Rodrigue and Person are two who actually do seem to enjoy their job, Rodrigue especially. Heck, Voth did it on his own for a while.

I honestly think the biggest problem with Newton is that he just doesn't have the necessary football background. He's a NASCAR reporter covering an NFL team.

Maybe it's some point, ESPN will see us as "worthy" of having a regular football reporter, but who knows?

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
