An angry, motivated West is the back we need for this game in tandem with Jackson. Anything we might get from Bey is gravy and we certainly can't count on it.

If he's handling what JL and MP want him to, that's his role. A full side of athletic freaks isn't necessary. Great that we have some, but we also need someone out there to manage himself and ten other twenty-somethings, let's remember, on the field. I'm not personally qualified to say that's...

#18 brings some presence on the field, some physicality that we haven't always had or shown. I hope he continues to get minutes and get better. Not sure how we get both Calhoun and Timmons on the field at the same time, at least not this year, but Patricia will find a way if they both should be...

Pierce quoted yesterday: On his personal play: "I feel like I've done pretty well within our scheme. I don't think a lot of people really understand exactly what we're asked to do, so I don't really take much consideration of what they have to say. So it's like I'm just doing what (Matt...

I'm giving Hankton some credit for this. I don't think these guys get this run last year. That was one of my two issues with Hartline as WR coach; no minutes early in the season, if at all, and no rotation. I'm a fan so far.

We're going to learn who he is this week. I'm optimistic based on what I've seen, at least relative to my admittedly low expectations. At a minimum, he's an improvement over Hartline so far.

I'd like to know what we're coaching, what he's supposed to be doing, and if we even have a punting strategy. It LOOKS to me like we just go out there and rip it off and see what happens, but that may not be, and hopefully isn't, correct. For the very little that it's worth, I'd be looking for...

Accountability for this sits with Sayin. To even try to take JJ off the table you have to at least double him and someone is open. He just doesn't always see it. I get that this is like me criticizing a strike out against a major league pitcher. I know things move REALLY fast, BUT that's...

If you're talking about Pierce, he graded out the highest of the LBs this week and I've got to trust a Butkus winner and AA at LB as to his rotation.

I think the transfer portal guys, at least those from Alabama, are coming along. It cracks me up living in the south that we've been using Alabama like a triple-A farm team the last few years.

I like what we've seen from Henry and Boyd. Not a ton of catches yet, but they've gotten real minutes, blocked, and must be doing things right in practice and the WR and Offense rooms or they wouldn't be getting the time. I could see either or both of them, as well as Bell, being like Olave...

An off game with 4 Tds.

Sure hands and seems to make the right decisions. First line punt return responsibilities.

Will we ever see Turbo Rogers?

While there have certainly been some issues, overall, my deep seated offensive fear coming into the season hasn't happened. I was sure that Smith would basically be Bollman and we'd see Dave and more balls to the TEs than the WRs. That hasn't happened and hopefully he'll keep Day and his ego...
