It’s certainly paying off so far. 5 turnovers (3 INT/2 FUM) thru 2 games.
Yes, we’ve given up back to back 300+ yds in he passing game, but the defense is making big plays (sacks, turnovers, big 4th down stops, etc). Can’t wait to see what Austin can do when he gets Tez and Brown back!

They're definitely giving us all fits dropping all the possible INTs and almost letting both Fake-o and Schmuck back into the games, but it's slowly paying off.

Aggressive play call at the end, blitzing Shawn Williams to end the game. I think this unit will only get better as the season goes on and with Burfict coming back. We haven't even seen much from Lawson if we get him going were in good shape.

You def have to be impressed with what we have seen so far, from not only the turnovers but the young guys playing well. Bates is the real deal, Glasnow has gotten better, Hubbard looks strong and Jordan Evans has improved.
As stated above can't wait to get Tez back!

That hit that Jordan Evans laid on Collins had me saying; "That's the guy I remember watching in Oklahoma games on TV"..Jesse Bates is ALWAYS around the ball...I liked Iloka but Bates is just too smoothe out there. Sam Hubbard...Think that's a guy who is really happy to do his thing in front of his home town. Hardy Nickerson Jr. ..That dude is proving to be a lot better that I thought he'd be..Not the greatest in coverage but he makes tackles..The best part about all of this is the team has 9 days off to get everyone healthy and I think they will be a bad match for Carolina..I'm expecting 3-0 coming out of there.. Lastly if you really want to smile...Preston Brown and Burfict are coming back real soon..Hehehehehehe..
