That fact Wilson made adjustments after last week makes me hopeful that he can still be a player for us. He is still young and mid second season. We’ve seen flashes just need consistency.
I haven’t been as impressed with Mack as I initially was. He is fast and dangerous if he gets in space. But he seems to have little wiggle in his game, hence the shoestring tackles taking him down. After watching replays of his runs, I feel like he doesn’t hit the hole as efficiently as he could. I also want to see more Wilkins, he isn’t as fast, but I feel he is more fluid and gets through the holes to the second level more smoothly. He has a good feel for the game. I want to see him in a year with a full NFL off season.
Castonzo has been solid, it really is amazing what it can do for your game if you don’t really have to worry about the guy beside you as much.
Really impressed with the defense this game. They took to the tacks. I can’t believe Leonard is a rookie, just a tremendous feel for the game. Turay looks like the light is coming on and is playing faster. Just a good defensive effort against a good offensive line.
Mariota is overrated. Been saying this since Oregon. He is so bland, like plain oatmeal. His accuracy comes and goes, and I don’t think he is clutch at all. Shows how easy it is to fall into the QB trap of pretty good but not great. They are locked into him for years. I would rather have bad or great. Because with bad at least you know to move on in a couple years.

The one play today that was disappointing from Mack was the off tackle 2nd/3rd and short where he needed two yards, really thought he could have just put his head down and plowed for the first down and he just fell down a hard short for no apparent reason. The hole was there, he had the opening had the momentum and I was just like....what happened? That should have been a conversion.
