also that if they'd got the extra point we most likely just kick our first extra point too rather than going for the 2 pt attempt
exactly, but they wouldn't have gone for two later in the game either. To me it's the FG offsides penalty that throws all of those 'if' this than 'that' explanations for a loop. You can't really change any aspect of the game because it would change everything and you can nit pick everything to death.

Also, does Tyree have the ability to be THAT guy at LG or is it still speculation?

So I’ve just gone back and watched all of his week 1 snaps because honestly I was intrigued as to what he properly looked like (hadn’t bothered at the time because I thought he was done for the year)

tyre is 100% the best LG on this team and it’s not close - he missed a couple of blocks which is obviously not ideal (Bozeman saved him on 1 of those) but he looked super solid in pass pro with a great base and nice footwork and he looked powerful in the running game - he and Bozeman worked effectively together too - some things to improve on but he looked nice

Of the 3 guys (now 2 I suppose) he’s the better run blocker and pass blocker - needs to work on his reads in his pulling though

Ok that's pretty exciting! Do we even know what Tyree's injury was? Is there going to be a longer delay for him to e back to full strength?

His knee got rolled up on so I’m assuming some kind of sprain - he was practicing last week and participating in positional drills and looked unhindered albeit he was wearing a knee brace but no idea whether he was taking part in team stuff or not (because he’s not be activated to 53 his injury/practice status doesn’t go on report) - he’s got up to 2 weeks remaining before they have to make a decision I think

Lamar's football ability is scary. I don't know how many times Iv'e finished watching a game and found myself shaking my head muttering Ive never seen that before.
I firmly believe he is the best player overall in the NFL .

The intelligence and change of direction. Would like to see him be a little more aggressive coming downhill and take some better angles but we have something fun to work with here.

and that's something i think we'll see him do better as he gets more confident - he's never been asked to see the field this way before and is only 3 years removed from playing in the opposite direction

there's a few reps in coverage that ill be looking out for in the all-22 when i get around to watching it this week because some of his transitions and pick-ups looked so smooth and disciplined on the broadcast film

It's so encouraging! And the guy has been a safety for a couple months!! And a defensive player for a couple years!!!

And still going to be mistakes, but so much to like. Wish we could have Queen operate this way. Don’t overthink. Just do. If you mess up, you learn from it and get better.

really nice find. Going to be a very good player with more experience under his belt.

lack of confidence is playing a major factor in Queen.

genuinely think that's the biggest issue for queen - was more decisive in year 1

as i go over the film from this week i think we over-exaggerated queen's troubles in this game - looks like they took him out on dime packages and maybe simplified some stuff for him
