I feel the opposite way about Mac... Neither Bill nor Kris Wilkerson did him any favors, but 4.5 yards per attempt, on 19 attempts, is still pathetic...

Cam should re-name him Mac & CheckDown.

Looks like his detractors were right: CheckDown eyeballs his first read while waiting for him to get open (having those 'Bama receivers & OL will do that to you), then settles for a 4-yard pass on 3rd/7...


I was ready to become a believer in Quinn Nordin...until the first XP attempt happened...

Did lil' Ronnie Perkins not learn Anything about edge-setting responsibilities at Oklahoma, or during training camp here?

OK I give up: JaWrong Yugo is a lead-pipe lock for the 53, because Langi & Straight Cassh were ****ing Horrible...Billy & the New Minions need to Thoroughly scan the cut-down lists during the next month for ILBs...

Run defense still sucks, including the times when Godsmack was making tackles (or watching somebody else make them) 6 yards downfield.

Jalen Mills & Mike Jackson kinda sucked last night too.

Cachoo & Herron nearly got CheckDown killed on one play when they both simultaneously went lazy & gutless by diving at their DEs' feet.

Other than that, I thought that Cachoo didn't play that badly...better than Herron & Cunnyham did that's for sure.

Alex Redmond sucks.

Jakobi Meyers' hands are amazing...Dude catches Everything...Bourne didn't play often enough to have an opinion formed...The rest of the WRs sucked, as usual & as expected.

Rhamondre Stevenson knows what he's doing out there and, after his first attempt when he was stuffed for no gain, ran with Authority...But with all of our other, much more pressing needs, was yet Another RB really what this team needed at #120 overall?

That's a terrible take, Captain. Don't give the honks ammunition by making such godawful arguments.

But overall how do you feel?

That's a terrible take, Captain. Don't give the honks ammunition by making such godawful arguments.

OK I'll cut him some First NFL snaps vs somebody other than your teammates slack... But I want to see him sling it downfield more often next Thursday... The game doesn't count in the standings, and I want to see more targets for Harry, Assyassy, Nixon, Gunner & Marvin Hall too... Let's see if anybody among them can fight through coverage to make a tough catch; we already know that Zuber & Wilkerson don't... Mac already has the Check-down Charlie portion of E-P mastered; it's time for the next portion of the test...
