Players who stood out today.

[MillionDollarCam]

Offense

Really like Higgins, Smith, Zylstra, and Ricci from the one’s. Thought Brown, Kirkwood, and Wright did some nice things with the two’s and three’s. Mays also had a nice outing besides his false start.

Defense

Thought Xavier Woods played well in his brief action. Had a nice pass break up and couple of open field tackles. Barno and Brandon Smith looked really good with the two’s, Barno factored in on both turnovers. Myles Hartsfield had a real nice game and he just keeps getting better. Marquan McCall did some good things from the DT spot and he might just earn himself a practice squad position.

ST’s

Shi Smith will make Roberts expendable, it’s nice to not have to worry about kicker anymore (thanks Zane), Hekker is still one of the best in the business, and J.J. can still do it all, had a nice tackle today. Brandon Smith also made a couple nice plays on special teams.

I honestly thought the ball placement there wasn't bad at all.

The safeties closing on him didn't help.  

Point is, I can see this play happening more this season with better results.

Ben McAdoo, destroyed Washington after halftime. When was the last time that happened?

Honestly the most exciting thing to me is the fact we have a actual OC; and not the guy hired from McDonalds

Robby had it in his hands

Would have been a hell of a catch to come down with as both Robby and Mayfield got hit 

Mayfield hung in there and completed a great ball to Shi on that second 3rd down play. 

Shi needs to be on this team. If it means saying goodbye to Roberts already then so be it. 

[Carl Spackler]

Amare Barno was pretty damn good, as was Spencer Brown. 

Cade Mays got called for that false start but he was giving a good push on the OL. 

[Carl Spackler]

Zane Gonzalez was great again 

[LinvilleGorge]

Shi Smith on offense and Barno on defense for me.

I just didn't like the decision. The play was designed to take a shot but the shot wasn't there with the safety lurking over the top.

Decision wise, it was a classic gunslinger type throw.

Yeah thats what historically has gotten him in trouble, sure he is great with the deep ball but this is the nfl if you throw into double coverage more times then not you are going to regret it

Baker missed that throw to Robbie but I see that play producing a lot of big plays this coming season.

Barro, B. Smith and Barnes defensively

S. Smith has such great speed that he needs to be on the field more.  He basically won the game for us with that nice return on our winning drive. 

He didn't miss Robbie didn't hang on that ball was perfectly timed and placed... If you throw into double coverage that's how you do it with laser accuracy.

He hit him in his hands. Robbie will get more opportunities but the fact is the best receivers in the league more often than not come down with those passes if they plan on competing for anything meaningful in the NFL.

Matt Corral stood out on the GWD he's old enough to get those calls apparently.

[Mr. Scot]

The stadium / local station's audio sure didn't.

Smitty and Zarzour we're overwhelmed by crowd noise the entire game.
