Biggs had something a week ago breaking down the red zone issues - it was very good and highlighted how much penalties and the bad snaps really contributed to being too big of holes.

He really has been playing well and making a ton of splash plays. He’s a great fit in Dennis Allen’s defense.

The trend has been solid too - let’s see them continue stacking and trending positive - and see more growth from offense and Caleb and cleaner execution. They do that and I think we will also see them start to show up against better defenses (may not be good enough given injured to D - but still would be even more progress!).

The oline with exception of Theo’s pass blocking has been very good of late. Theos run blocking has been excellent - his pass blocking is beyond bad of late. Wright has been downright elite - despite playing with one arm. Kudos to him, Poles and the coaching staff on this. And I rip Poles everywhere but outside of LT, it is starting to gel quite nicely on the line - a huge step up compared to last year.

The Jets did exceptional. No clue why Colts did what they did - but they clearly believe in Daniel Jones. Cowboys got a great player - no idea why they did it now.

I was so glad to see they basically did nothing. Was very against any big moves - but this is low key and basically gets you a former 1st rounder for what will likely be moving down 15-20 spots from middle of 6th round to early in 7th.

I will say - Drake Maye looks very good. He reminds me of Herbert. Has played some bad defenses too (like Caleb this week) but he has looked the part.

I agree - I expect a lot out of him, but I don’t see Stroud or Daniel’s crushing it this year. I see a qb being pushed a ton vs coddled this year. BJ didn’t just have him doing a bunch of shotgun / read option stuff - he has him doing playing behind center a ton - something he never did in college and which required new footwork etc. That takes time. He is 12th in yards and 19th in TDs. Great - no - but awful - no. His sack rate is down a ton - YPG is up - yards per play is up a qb rating and qbr are up - all in a new system. I see more good than bad, but acknowledge he hasn’t proven shit yet - but he also flashes some real good stuff too.

They have had some good games with Dart and D is still banged up pretty good. I hope you are right - would be nice to get a comfortable W - with that said - I just want them to keep improving and grinding. Play your best game of the season Chicago!!!

I think of it more of - they are that good and Caleb is certainly a part of it - but he also has a lot more room to grow and take it up another notch - which is real exciting! This team still has lots to work through - but I expect a lot of growth this second half of the season. Not sure they make the playoffs but this team is going to learn and grow a ton this year and a foundation for sustained success will be built.

I was glad to see some young players show up today - Loveland had some big plays and Monongai was a beast. Caleb played good - still had some misses - but plenty of good too. Defense was pretty much trash - Higgins was absurd though and Joe throwing to those wideouts with our secondary is like shooing fish in a barrel. I hope Gordon and JJ will be able to come back and play meaningful football this year. Special teams - awful everywhere. But finding a way to win and getting TDs in the red zone. Rome - I expect you to pick yourself up and have a big game next week!

Special teams is awful. Santos is either hurt or needs to be cut.

The officiating was awful. Getting sick of it - so one sided.

Odunze is not a bust but he’s going through some struggles catching. He also is getting open all over the place - it will come together but it is frustrating. Far from a bust and I expect we will see him bounce back. Jamar Chase had some cases of the drops early in his career too.

He had barely played from center in college - Ben is having him play from center and forcing him to develop from there - but there wil be growing opportunities. Offense was quite good today which was nice - despite another couple drops from Rome.
