Week 6 Shout Outs

[Bear Hands]

-Rico is our early season MVP. Stud.

-Bryce Young - best game as a pro. See the other threads, very happy with how he played. The first McMillan TD was a good example of what type of rhythm and feel we should expect to see.

-Cade Mays had an absolute mother of a game. Absolutely bullied the Cowboys interior. I am getting convinced he’s a potential answer at center. Want to keep seeing it.

-Icky & Lewis road grading on the left was top tier today. They’re getting it done the past two weeks.

-BC in our stretch zone looks. We finally started diversifying the run game. Looked like we had Brady moving quickly to the perimeter on stretches and tosses. He swung out and killed some Dallas secondary.

-Trevin Wallace got himself in position and helped close a few Dallas possessions. Doesn’t go unnoticed.

-Mitchell Evans - loving what I’m seeing

-Jimmy Horn Jr making noise. He looks NFL quick, not just college quick.

-Coaching staff - they’ve have questionable moments this season but this was a really nice, complete game they called.

I probably missed some, feel free to chime in

I was listening to a PODCAST on YouTube and the host was talking about ICKY was selected because he was such a beast in the Run game.  He's played well at LT but when we run the ball it is in his wheelhouse and it's fun to watch him destroy people.

Icky was amazing yesterday, I suggest people go back and focus on him, he was throwing folks off the line, running downfield making hits.  He was awesome

I made him and Lewis a pair because those two are just singing very well and destroying guys the last two weeks. 

If Icky plays mistake free in the passing game, it's a huge factor in controlling the clock for this team.  Ezeiruaku had a few early moments, but that was about it.  We had our way with the entire DAL defense.

BC was out front on a ton of pulls.  And when seeing his athleticism in that capacity, it’s a thing of beauty…  and they didn’t even have him as the top swing OL/utility guy when Hunt went down.  Crazy.

And let's not forget Ryan Fitzgerald. That guy had a busy, busy day and he rocked the hell out of it.

I was scratching my head about the move away from Piniero, and thought we were saving dimes instead of dollars, but this kid is the real deal.

Thank you - I knew I was forgetting someone.  Our rookies are putting in some work.

McMillan, Scourton, Princely, Horn, Evans, Fitz, Trevor, Tremaine all had substantial playing time.  Ransom still with just like 7 snaps.  Hope that starts to change, he ticked back down in playing time this week.

Got to throw TMac onto the kudos list! He's been good from day 1, but looks to be getting better every game, although that could just be he and Bryce getting into rhythm, as you said.

2 TD's and I love love love watching him block! Big man ain't afraid to hit!!

BC deserves the love.  He looked great last week, too.

What I don't get is why it took so long to put him in.  He should have been the first player off the bench when Hunt got hurt.  I have a bad feeling he's not going to be here next season.

If he keeps showing up biggly when given the opportunities, I think they will try to resign him rather than letting him walk.  Why he didn’t draw more interest from other teams this past free agency period is a question I don’t have an answer for.  Happy it worked out for us and we got to retain him.

I hope so too but there must have been some riff which kept him out of the line-up.  This is why I think he is going to test the market.  Hopefully DM signs him before we get to that point.
