We are capable of winning this game.  But it won't be easy.  Our roster is too thin, too young for us to anticipate any easy games.  I think the loss of Tyrod Taylor is what made us such solid favorites here.

We are a promising, young team right now.  That's all.  This is the first of many traps we can fall in to.  We have to keep that one week at a time attitude this year.

I think it will come down to how much time Mills has back there. He seemed to play okay when Taylor came out. If you give almost any QB enough time, they can burn you. I see the game plan looking eerily similar to the Saints game. If we can blanket Kamara, we can do it to pretty much any back in the league. If our pass coverage plays like they did against the Saints, this is an absolute W. No wins are absolute before the game, but this should not be close. We should win by 20 in my opinion. If we protect the ball on offense, it's a win.

Going to be fun to see how the team travels. If the defense can continue to suffocate the run and force the rookie to deal with our pass rush + coverage then the offense is going to get their chances with the ball to put points up.

If the Texans defense is as sus as the stats show, we should be in for a good night.

That is probably how it will start and what Huston will expect. 

That's why you draft a Jaycee, and sign a Bouye to have alongside Jackson, with Chinn / Burris as the single high with the other in the box to help versus the run or blitzt off the edge. 

It was a thing of beauty to see us in press outside, and all the bodies mugging the LOS with a Safety ALSO coming off the EDGE. Wasn't none of that sit back poo, and give them the easy 3-5 yard dumps + YAC. 

I know you can't do that every snap, or versus every team, the point is we FINALLY have this as apart of the defensive arsenal, we can play coverage, and get AGGRESSIVE.

Im pretty confident that this team is being coached up not to look past anybody. And everyone in interviews seems to be conveying that they're taking everybody seriously. 

I'm really hoping to see two things on Thursday:

1.) Balance run/ pass attack - Its a long season and I'd prefer we not be without Christian. This coaching staff has to find ways to rest him and get contributions from other guys. 

2.) Competent Special Teams play : I dont think Eckerson has looked bad, but  dont think we're looking for him to break any big returns. But there were a few plays that really could have changed the momentum for the Saints that happened on Special Teams. (The blocked kick and the punt that hit one of our guys foot.) Our kicking woes continue, but the new guy also doesnt get the length on kick offs that JJ got us. One of the best things you can give an Elite defense is good field position.

Yeah, I think they should have had Hubbard or Freeman in there at the end of the game when we were chewing up the clock.  No need to run CMC into a brick wall 8 times when the game is pretty much over.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
