1- I've been waiting for Minshew to hit that rookie wall, but the kid is not your typical 6th rounder, hes not a Kessler or Lee. This kid can play. He has confidence and his taking his shot. I'm basically falling in love with this kid! That scramble for the first TD was insane.
2- Fournette deserves a LOT of credit. Hes struggled to get going so far but hes been out there playing and so happy for him and the Oline that they got it going for a half. Made such a difference.
3- I think Ramsey made his point. I like Herndon but you cant just replace Ramsey level talent.
4- now Oline. First half, we were always 3rd and 8 or so and the Broncos were just teeing off on Minshew. Miller and Chubb took really wide routes which forced Taylor and Robinson to come out to meet them and play one on one. Plus it was meant to push Minshew back into the pocket where the rest of the DL would meet him. Getting the run going stopped that and Minshew trying to scramble.
6- we are so luck to have Lambo. No Myers and look around the league, plenty of teams need kickers.
12- 2-2 is the best we could hope for so far. After the Houston game we looked like a full blown dumpster fire but we've given ourselves a shot now.
Onto Carolina.
Thaks.
I'm sorry I was late posting it. I was busy gloating against my buddy.
Regarding Minshew, I have been right there with you, and to a degree I am still waiting for it. But I am enjoying the ride for all it's worth right now, and I know even if he hits the proverbial rookie wall and his performance plateaus a bit, I know he is capable of doing some very good things in this league. For him to have two last minute come from behind drives to potentially win the game in his first three starts is incredible.
At this point, Fournette has runs of 90, 81, 75, and 69 yards. He may not be the most elusive back, but you can't call him plodding.
I am thrilled with 2-2 at this stage. I would have been reasonably content with that had Foles not gotten hurt. but considering Foles got hurt in the first quarter of the first game, and we've been going with a rookie, thrilled is an apt description.
Oh you've got to get your gloat on when you can!!
I think Minshew has shown enough in his 4 games that we will have a tough decision when Foles is back. I just keep see him getting presented with challenges (first game replacement with no practice, weather against T*tans, @Denver) and he just takes them in his stride. It doesn't look too big or too quick for him. I think we may have struck lucky with him.
Really happy for Fournette, it's like that big run against the T*tans unclogged the drain for him. He was fantastic second half and if we can just get him around 100yds per game, that O looks a potent beast.
I was happy if we got through these first 7 games at 3-4, @Carolina Sunday, that looks more winnable than it did then the Saints at the Bank. We can make Bridgewater uncomfortable, we need to stop Kamara but this team has some momentum.
