Washington had a sack taken away because of a PI also.
Lol frfr.. was that our first one since having lamar?

Which was bullshit because Stephens got pushed lol
that was my take on it also
remember proche barely practiced for 3 weeks - may well be he's also on a ramp up given he only got 5 snaps
i cant possibly imagine he's going to be getting only 5 snaps a game
also worth noting though (more generally) that we averaged less than 2 WRs on the field per snap yesterday - something to keep watching
i cant speak to all of the plays that got away - but the TD drop is worth noting that it was on PQ (i think in man coverage) who got beat rather than any of the secondary - he generally had a good game but that 4th down TD drop was on him not the secondary
Queen had 2 blown plays the whole game i think - 1 led to a 20ish yard run, the other should have been a TD - outside of those 2 plays though he was dominating... took another step in man coverage, ill have to watch the all-22 to see how he did in zone, but was dynamic coming downhill and put on a masterclass of delayed blitz technique and had a bajillion pressures... he had 8 tackles and 3 QB hits lol what are these guys watching? PQ also did all this as the LB in dime and played 100% of the snaps... i think it's finally clicked for him!!!

I’ve been anticipating superstar shit for PQ, it’s always been very evident, just needed fine tuning, which was also evident, but yeah I’m hoping it’s finally come together for him, looks like it has because he was playing like he was a step ahead and a step faster than everyone else
we'll see what happens the rest of the season - but this 2020 draft class, in year 3, looks to be coming of age in a big big way this year - hopefully JK comes back and makes that sentiment even more accurate, and james proche gets back into the fold too because...
PQ and Madubuike both look dominant, and JK too when he was healthy as a rookie
Duvernay, Washington and Harrison all have significant roles in this 2022 team
Stone's a good special teamer and depth piece
and we'll see what happens with Proche's snap counts moving forwards
haha what a throw, what a catch!!!
he was all over the field. The game seemed to be slowing down for him the last month of last season, but yesterday was just another notch up.
almost like the team adjusted and lamar settled in and suddenly the offence (and the running game) worked again
just need to not automatically run into 8 man boxes early if that's what the defence is giving us... the adjustment was good, just came a little later than it should have - but that's also partly on lamar being hesitant early
yes and every week he doesn't go up against Quinnen Williams. He's going to continue to get better and his run blocking is already pretty good.
the thread itself is interesting but i think it's worth noting we specifically ran more up-tempo stuff with Huntley last year and also didnt do as much substituting on offence with personnel changes etc. which is probably a major contributing factor to the slowness getting out of the huddle
that said lamar's either got to be demanding the playcall come in quicker or call the play himself quicker (dont know whose "fault" it is)

With 13:00 left in the second quarter, madubuike had a lazy play that cost us. It was a screen, he slowly pursued it even though he was easily in play to make the tackle, others who had a better shot begin the tackle, madubuike gives up on it, but then Michael carter breaks that tackle and gains a first down after that. Madubuike could have and should have helped finish that tackle to make it 3rd and 4
He had a dominant day, but you don’t do that in the nfl. That’s something I hope comes up in film discussion with the coaches.

i just watched the play - i dont see it the same way at all - he pursued at a similar speed to justin houston outside him, didn't overpursue to leave a cutback lane - only slight criticism is that he stopped as the guy was being wrapped (as did houston)
think the only thing on that play that's going to come up is maybe the stopping before the whistle at the end (but nothing about the pursuit) - clark and stephens are the 2 who are gonna get roasted in the film session for that play
I am still completely convinced that they had to have just called it on the wrong number.
the push was on fuller was it not? wasnt it 23 when they showed the replay?
