First we lost a game to the Texans we could have and perhaps should have won, and in the process, learned that Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. So when I tell you how good it feels to get a win over the hated tacks, believe it baby! Words cannot express my elation! My thoughts on the game...
1. The Tacks reached Sacksonville city limits! NINE (9) sacks was awesome!!! As dominant as he was tonight, this wasn't even Calais Campbell's best game. Taven Bryan had either 1.5-2 sacks. Combine that with his two pressures last week, it looks like he is making progress. Smoot had a couple of sacks. Only Ngakoue didn't have a sack. But a great day all around for the D-Line.
2. Continuing on the defense, I found it interesting that Bouye played RCB tonight while Ramsey played LCB. Bouye had an outstanding night, and looked ready to step in.
...
12. Bottom line-Though I don't want to see Ramsey get traded, I feel better about our short term and longer term future right now. We finally got our first win of the season, playing disciplined defense. We finally beat the [BLEEP] Titans and guaranteed they will be in last place for the weekend due to two division losses and the head to head loss to us. Though I am loathe to make this analysis, I can't help but think we caught a break with the schedule in the coming weeks with Darnold, Brees, and newton all seemingly unhealthy for our upcoming games. With all of the rumored suitors for Ramsey, it's looking more and more like we'll get the 2 first round picks for Ramsey and maybe more if the team decides to grant his trade request. Oh yeah...SCREW the tacks!
Great recap as always Bullseye.
I'm so very very happy today. Finally beat those brother-sister lovers. I had big fears for yesterday. It had all the ingredients of a disaster.
1-D line was fantastic all game. Did a great job keeping Henry from hitting full speed and getting to 2nd level, plenty of guys tackling those legs. The T*tans were only missing their LT. Really happy for Smoot and Bryan. Stepping up.
4- We need to talk about Marrones 4th down calls. I get being brave but also let's just take points when they are right on front of us.
6- Lambo is a beast. So lucky to have him.
10- Agree
12- Agree. Hes balling out.
I'm so blown away by Minshew. No running game last night, how many 1st and 20 and 2nd and 18 but he made some really nice throws and he trusts his arm, put some in tight spots. The weather was awful last night and had plenty of drops aswell but he kept us going.
I feel like the Marrone 4th down calls and conversion attempts stem from a desire to “rally the troops” by showing and instilling confidence.
Of course, it’s possible to take that notion a step too far.
