First win since the Wilks stretch that felt like a commanding, thorough old fashioned butt whooping.  

Shout outs:

  • Chau Smith-Wade - he has been getting better and better.  I've really enjoyed his development and could turn into a quality starting nickel for us.
  • Ryan Fitzgerald - He's looking great.  I would caution to brace for some rookie kicking moments, but he seems like a kid who could stay here a minute.  His kicks today were at big points to force ATL into high percent passing scenarios
  • Cade Mays - from what I saw, he had a solid day.  OL with some exceptions with Zavala played very well.
  • Lathan Ransom - He's one guy I'm willing to crown a tad prematurely, but I really think he's a safety that will stick.  Just solid play, no real mistakes.  Good communication today.  
  • Rookie EDGEs - Scourton and Princely won't show on the stat sheet but they were disrupting the pocket from the edge.  Played really tough today, good effort.

No shout out:

  • Christian Rozeboom - Oof.  He still looks really rough.  Wallace was a little better today/didn't have any egregious screw ups but Christian seems pretty rough.  If we can find someone average here, it could really help this defense.

My exact list for the shout outs in the same order (though I admittedly had the rookie edges @ #4 and Fitz @ #1)

Cade Mays should've been the center from the jump. He was Bryce's guy to end last year, why change that up? 

Also, Canales saying after Week 1 to play the young guys on defense might've been the best thing for us/Evero. Scourton, Princely, and Ransom all show up.

Evero didn't play Ransom until late in the 4th quarter.  He should have been playing the entire game. But when he was on the field he made a huge difference in the defense. Why Evero holds onto Scott and insists on him starting baffles the crap out of me.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
