Especially a guy in an open competition to take over the starting spot and be a big contributor going forward. Absolutely, I can appreciate it's a hot day and he's playing on STs too, but there's a lot to be said for having to pass up live reps because you're too tired. I'd like to think he was just gassing and the coaching staff decided not to have him push through it when they didn't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he still played far less snaps than other skill position guys. But you're probably right. At the end of the game there's no need to push a guy when the game's over.

bucsfan333 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 We still have a ways to go. But 9/46 attempts being rushed isn't awful. Also, McCoy is bae. He's such a badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingone Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I really like the post game comments. This is a team who now knows how to win. I'm expecting a big effort against the Vikings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. Everyone seems a lot more grounded this year. And a helluva lot more hungry. Gotta love the locker room we've put together.

I know the whole family thing is over rated by some in the media. However, it s establishing a culture of accountability to one another. We saw the first signs of it with the Winston press conference in Charlotte during his rookie year. Full marks go to Koetter and Smith for building this environment. This would not have happened with Lovie, irregardless whatever changes he would have made on offense. The team can now handle adversity and not fold like atent.They will make mistakes this season, but I don't doubt this is a mentally tough team. If most of the core can stay reasonably healthy, plenty of victory beers ahed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces22wild Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 By the looks of how week one went I'm sure a majority of the league had that problem. When is the last time these guys played that many snaps going full tilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
