It seems to be heavily overlooked that Linder was out too. Obviously a huge loss that led to constant pressure.

Conley was the worst player on the field. Through 3 weeks, I’m wondering why he’s on the roster.

The offensive line was consistently beaten by 4 rushers. They had a terrible game. O line needs to be a major focus in the draft. By the 4th, 2/5 was gone.

The defense lost the game though. They couldn’t generate any pressure. Wash will be fired by week 8.

This team is pretty well in line where I felt. I think 6-8 wins. The offense won’t play this poorly every week. They will have a lot of weeks like week 1 and 2. The defense, I don’t expect much more.

Minshew is getting a lot of crap about the wide open Conley miss but Minshew also had a pass rusher in his face because he had to shoulder shake the corner to get Conley that wide open. Those misses happen to everyone. It was a double edged sword. Minshew hit 3 receivers in the hands in the end zone, all dropped. It’s why Dede rides the pine now.

My biggest critique of Minshew was that I wish he would’ve improvised more and sooner. He was trying to play in the system too hard until the 4th quarter. Receivers were not getting open and I actually would’ve liked to have seen him scramble and buy some time. The issue was when he did this, Aikman pointed out that the receivers were not playing back to him. I hope Gruden puts some scramble drills in this week.
