    Eason looking in control and making every throw look easy.

    Dick Newton showing wiggle and drive and being the best RB on the day.

    MJ Tafisi murdering motherfuckers.

    Molden destroying the flats.

    The entire DL and LB rotation seeming to hold up.

    DL by the end of this year is going to be a dominant group
    Think what it can be in the next 2 years

    No one has mentioned Myles Rice (#41) yet. He created the pressure that lead to Benning's first sack, and twice took on a few double-teams and still forced the QB out of the pocket. Not that he had a big game, but nice to see something material from him when the game still matters.

    Most exciting is Newton. Falls forward on every run. Would be very surprised if he doesn't lead the team in rushing yards this season.

    Myles was pleasant surprise. Dick Newton was tackled by 3 players. He did not give an inch

    Did Draco play any snaps? Or is it time to move him to TE?

    Tryon was disappointing. Don’t think he has the bend to be a real force

    Yup. I wouldn't rely on Tryon suddenly becoming a sack machine. He's stiff and doesn't burst. I see Ngata as being the sneaky guy off the edge.
    Bowman added weight but I don't think it's good weight because he's less flexible. He's added weight thinking his game would improve and it's going
    to fail him just like it failed Chorak back in the day.

    Dick Newton - Elite speed is what separates him from a high 4-Star to 5-Star. Great body ...uses good lean on his runs, feet look good. Let him run downhill
    and he's going to be great for you.

    Cam Williams - other than the gaffe on the TD he was generally where he was supposed to be and looking proficient. This kids gonna have an amazing year.

    Kyler Gordon - good GAWD this kid loves run support. Needs to clean up the coverage stuff but he's looking good.

    Trent McDuffie - Bursty ...a very clear athletic talent.

    MJ Tafisi - Once his anticipation and intuition improves he's gonna be something. His motor is relentless. If he continues to grow next year a Sirmon, Tafisi, Heimuli Calvert, rotation sounds really good.

    Yes, he was in one of the two last defensive series
