  • The ESPN Show with Unsportsmanlike with former NFL player Chris Canty has Canty making a big deal about Dillon Gabriel's comment about being a competitor instead of an entertainer.  Canty is making it out to be a dig at Shedeur when Gabriel clarified in the post game interview it wasn't about Sanders at all.  Media wouldn't try to do such a thing would they?  ?

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

  • - On the stat sheet, Gabriel had an ok day.  The INT was bad, youre rhe QB and the buck stops with you. Cant throw into muddled traffic.  But my biggest issue isn't the throws he made, it was the throws he didn't make.  More on that later, for those who follow my work on twitter.   

     - Kamara is making this final roster. 

    - Been saying this since last season, Cam Mitchell isn't a corner.  He isn't a nickel corner and he sure as fuck isn't playing outside. He just doesn't have the lateral burst and hip fluidity.    They need to give him more looks at safety otherwise it's a disservice to your evaluation. 

    - I have some worries about how this defense will be plagued by higher percentage RPOs on early downs.   The aggressive downhill fits from our 2nd level really expose us to more patient and methodical play off of ball action.    Think similar to how the Chiefs moved the ball on Buffalo in the playoffs then struggled to do much of anything against Philly. Same same. 

    - Jerome Ford should be cut in favor of Ahmani Marshall. I'm not kidding.  Eat the 1.1mil and get the more talented runner and blocker on the team.  Unless Ford has grown a new pair of eyes, I've seen two seasons of the same inconsistent play and leaving yards on the field. 

    - Isiah Bond is becoming sort of an offensive need.  We need some wheels to get vertical at some point. I love having bigger targets like Njoku, Fannin, Ceddy and JJ, but speed kills and we need a little bit of that.  Thrash has some potential to contribute, but his first step quickness doesn't eat cushion like you'd hope and his lateral burst isn't there either.   This team is using more motion this pre-season with Thrash being the biggest beneficiary of that motion.   If the coaches want to maximize that short area potential, they'd start giving Bond some of those reps.

    That's what I've got for now.
