I said we need a turnover here guys......he picks off Flacco (with help from Dunlap). I said it again, he strip sacks Flacco. He was all over the field. I pondered a benching as well......but he earned those stripes back in spades last night: game ball.
Dunlap was ALL OVER the place, what a game he had. Dalton was sharp most of the game, and AJ Green was......AJ Green. The oline did a bang up job. Big shouts to Bobby Hart watching his Indy film and cleaning some things up. Outstanding game......nice fill in from Hopkins too. How 'bout a shout out to our new oline coach too. He obviously saw some things week 1 and corrected them. Brings Trey in at C, and we hardly missed a beat. NO SACKS against Balt. Impressive indeed.....
Joe Mixon.....this offense is quite simply hard to defend when he's in the game. They HAVE to account for him, which left AJ facing single coverage a few times. Look how that turned out for them. Look how our offense sputtered without him.
Nice to see the team face a little adversity and momentum shift and make plays when they had to in order to seal the win. In the bright lights of PrimeTime, no less......
Let's not forget some clutch kicks from Big Randy.....and two sacks from Geno. Nice play from Hubbard too. Eifert sightings.....Boyd still can't be covered by them.....nice all around game fellas. Oh, and Bill Lazor for being aggressive, maybe a little too aggressive at the end of the 1st half, but I'll take keeping the hammer down versus playing not to lose. I'd rather go out guns a blazing than being retroactive.....
Yep.
Lap reported that Hart had trouble with the silent count last week. You could tell on the 2nd sack he gave up, he was looking inside and Hunt got off right at the snap and Hart was late.
Last night he looked like the guy i saw in preseason. Nothing spectacular, but solid enough.
On a side note...along with everyone else, i've been yelling to run less to the right but on re-watching the game, there were a few good holes and some production from Mixon and Gio to the right last night. Not a lot but some. Plus, you can't just run left all the time.
