George was quiet but we had a number of rookies who looked really good. Pacheco has found his groove. It looked like his best game. What a pick by Watson as well.

I kinda wanna re-watch that game and try to keep an eye on McDuffie.

Because I'm not convinced that this guy isn't a genuine star caliber player already. It looked like the Jags wanted ZERO part of that kid.

In baseball they'll tell you that the hitters will tell you how good a pitchers stuff is by the nature of their swings against him. Well in football I think a corner can largely be judged by the way an offense reacts to his presence.

Sure - Watson made a great play. But you know why I think McDuffie was better than him last night? Because McDuffie never HAD to make a play. The Jags simply weren't going to challenge him.

I think he really only had that one holding penalty...that I can remember.

And the holding penalty was declined, IIRC.

I think there was a catch on the other side of the field on that play, right?

Yeah, it was the one where the dude was wide ****ing open for like 20 something yards. Can't remember if that was a breakdown in coverage or what. I think Watson took the underneath route and the safety didn't come over far enough.

Well the RT was allowed to get an early start every ****ing play.

I think it's nerves, honestly.

Because we didn't see George trending down - we saw him trending up through week 18. I don't think suddenly, after a week of rest, he cratered and ran out of juice.

I think he just got tight. Probably overthinking.

I mean think of how completely inept Chris Jones looked against Baltimore in that game he played at DE last season. Why? Because he was in his head. It wasn't because he couldn't physically dominate from DE - hell, he HAS physically dominated from DE multiple times this season.

He was just thinking rather than reacting and it snowballed on him.

I feel like that's what we got from GK yesterday. He was just playing tight; a little nervous. And it got in his head.

Dunlap, while he wasn't all over the scoresheet, was hugely critical yesterday as a steadying defensive presence out there. You could tell he was just going out there and chopping wood while George was trying to feel his way through some jitters.

Awe the excuses continue, as I said he'll make his bones in the playoffs but the 1st game he fell flat. He's not Justin Smith or Tamba Hali

I only noticed him three times: once on the TD he was in coverage, him not keeping contain on that end around, and another time on a routine pass rush where he took himself about 10 yards too far upfield.

Hoped for more but can’t expect monster games from every rookie.

Jaylen Watson, McDuffie, Cook, and Josh Williams all played well enough as far as the young guys go.
