I didn't believe in Coach Snow. I said his defense played like a bunch of old ladies last year and that he called a soft game because he wasn't up to the pro level.

It looks like he's proving me wrong this season so far. Hope he keeps making me eat my words because this defense looks great.

I think its super early to be doing this and we are just as likely to come back and do a follow up to this but ...

Deshaun, Justin, Mac, Cam- anybody but Sam. Sam has looked much better than I expected. His confidence is growing and he's not losing us any games. Our defense is ELITE and havingthe ball for 30 mins a game will help any QB. As much as I like PJ, Im concerned should Sam get injured during this season.

Again, its week 2 and we dont know what will become of Justin Fields, or any of the other QBS... but I feel a lot better today than I did. And I hope Sam Darnold keeps doing it.

I'm not ready to admit anything. I thought the defense looked big and fast in the preseason, they made a LOT of upgrades on that side of the ball, so I expected them to be good. Burns is a freak and will probably have 15+ sacks this season.

On offense I'm still not totally sold on Darnold since he hasn't faced a single scrape of adversity yet with the defense being so dominant. But, I will say he has looked confident and poised save for a couple bad moments. Playing with the best RB in the game will help with that.

    • I mean, yes, there is a difference between looking at a box score and watching film.  But PFF has a big subjective aspect to some of their grades.  That's how you get a 2/4 being better than 3/5 with a TD.  You aren't using stats at that point or factual events, but subjective analysis of plays.   And it's not like it is the same subjective analysis applying across all the players.   Same guy grading BY's incompletions (which are putting him over the top) isn't grading everyone else's incompletions and completions.  So it's different subjective takes/viewpoints applied.  There is no way everyone at PFF views grading out a play the same.  Then it all dumps into the same spreadsheet.  Hit the sort button.  Sometimes I feel it gets really weird and and collective data starts saying some weird stuff that just isn't true.   
    • Yeah, Sanders had a very nice debut preseason performance but the folks acting like he's arrived based on that performance are getting way out ahead of themselves.
    • I won't be surprised if Graham disappoints. Maybe not outright bust but never lives up to his draft status. The more I watched him at Michigan the more I came away impressed by the other Michigan DT. I think he might be the real player. Usually when you have two high level prospects in the same college unit one of them ends up getting fraud checked in the NFL as being largely carried by the other guy. Peppers and Ryan Sims at UNC comes to mind. Lavar Arrington and Courtney Brown at Penn State, etc.
