One great defensive game makes not a good defense. However, they have shown glimpses in each game when combined with this game shows that they can be what we hope.
Shut down teams in the 4th quarter, stay focussed on key downs throughout the game. One stop, one 3 & out can turn the tide of a game. Can this defense be consistent, just as the offense is starting to be more of, now...
But he caught the only pass to come his way....
If Bateman tracks the way he played against the Chargers, with Duv also playing very well, making difficult catches and great returns, even Proche is making tough catches, Boykin will have to be the odd man out.
Injuries at other positions will make it tough to keep dressing six wide outs..
Yeah, overall it was a good game calling, nice mix. A little more run would have been better. Maybe then that linebacker that Lamar didn't see would have bitten up more on the playaction.
Shoot, if Bateman makes that catch on the next int, he is off to the races. I think he had goal posts in his eyes as to why he let that one bounce off...
They held Herbert to 56% completion, 1 td, 1 pick, 195, the Chargers only had 26 yards rushing, yes, you read that correctly. They also finally stopped a screen pass and numerous times too boot... Bout freaking time!
