ETN is the real deal. He has Over 100 all purpose yards in 5 straight games. Turning into one of the best first round picks for this team in a long time.
Smoot is playing at a totally new level lately. IF he keeps playing like that he will earn a good pay day.
Dewey came in playing like a man possessed. He had a great pressure, a couple good tackles and was overall fired up. Wingard may earn a starting roster spot if he can continue that level of play.
The Entire offense carried this team. Down 17-0 this team scores on 3 straight drives and if I remember correctly it was 4 out of 5 drives they put up points.
The Defense was getting torched in the first quarter. After trailing 17-0 they held the Raiders to 3 points the entire rest of the game. They shut the Raiders down the entire second half. David Carr and this passing attack had under 50 yards the entire second half.
The Coaching staff deserves some credit for sticking with the game plan and great adjustments. Down 17-0 they continued to run the ball and run their offense. The Defense adjusted and found a way to shut the Raiders down after that early surge. It would of been really easy to panic after being down 3 scores early.
This is a tremendous win. This is the kind of win that can build character and give a team confidence. I can't remember the last time the Jags been down by 3 scores and came back and won. It has been awhile.
To me this is the stat of the game. No idea what changed, but something for sure did. I know they said he had a sore back from a few weeks ago, and maybe the initial adrenaline rush of game time wore off, but he seemed to lose all the touch he had in the first half where he and Davante ate us alive. Mighta been our defense changed things up, but I didn't notice anything at first glance.
Whatever it was, it was refreshing to watch. The first half was leaving me with that uneasy feeling.

Etienne is the man, but, who is the next man behind him? We might need Lawrence to keep doing these 5+, 50+ yard games with his legs.

Credit to you for saying this a couple weeks ago when Lawrence was struggling. He definitely kept drives alive today by pulling the football down and taking off. Those type of plays break a defense. Good call bro.
Another positive note is Lawrence needs 1 more TD pass to equal last seasons total. He will do it in about 400 less attempts and about 8 less games. Completion percentages are also up. 62.5 vs 59.6 We’ll take it.
If only there was a word to describe what we're seeing here...
