Quick thoughts on the game

I was thinking more a Doug Baldwin or a slower Steve Smith. Shifty but not as fast.

I’m willing to be patient with Shaq, he did what few other defenders could do. Gotta remember to this is a new system for him. He was in Eberflus’ cover 2 not this cover 3. Different responsibilities. That said Speed is making a play a game. Gonna be some hard decisions soon.

I think we were kicking their ass too. We had more yards, we were moving the ball. Turnovers and the refs killed us.

The TY comps have a lot to do with his elusive nature. He is another ghost.
