I can't say Etienne looked great. That TD drop was super costly, and about as routine a play as they come.

I'll grant him the first official game under the lights, but man, gotta make the catch if you wanna get in the end zone.

I'm glad JRob looked as good as he did. He's still the #1 option, and Etienne is gonna have to not make costly mistakes if he wants that top spot.

There's a lot of maturity that needs to take place still for this young football team. There's also a little bit of a learning period and rust to shake off for the coaching staff.

The key is whether or not they learn from their losses and don't repeat the same mistakes over and over again. I can stomach two or three losses in a row in close contests a whole hell of a lot more than seeing the offense turn the ball over multiple times per game or the defense playing on skates and getting destroyed.

This, this, so very this.

The absolute worst thing for a young squad is to continually change everything. That leads to inconsistency, confusion, and costly mistakes.

If we look clueless out there, maybe mix it up. Until then, be patient, keep working, and see if the team builds on the progress.

Read it again, I said other than that drop.  He averaged 12 ypc and 9 ypc on his receptions and looked very fast.  He also beat his man for a TD put Trevor missed him and overthrew him. He looked damn good. Trevor has to put it on him when he beats his man like he did because that was a TD that we didn't get because of the over throw
