Amari had some + plays and at least didn’t look hesitant on PR. He’s a rook so it will take some time. RC, a player in a similar mold looked more like he belonged his first year but really jumped his second year.

I wonder if we have Amari run kickoffs now or get a  backup WR with more acceleration or better yet a touchback specialist to prevent further injury.

I propose Richard Rodgers, you know he’s not running it back and you know he’s not dropping it. Fills the backup TE/Hailmary position, as well. 

Amari drifted up field on a crucial play into the flats, Troy broke it down pretty nicely why ARodg was frustrated. He shot a look over at MLF like this guy is in the wrong spot AGAIN. Low snap count, winfree out there doing his thing

yeah, it's a pathetic showing by admittedly a rookie player who has a lot to learn.

 

plenty of guys turn it around in their second year, but Amari took his golden ticket and chewed it up tonight and spit it out on the ground

I (in Bristol, England) watched the first half, went to bed satisfied at the 10-7 half time score, (it was about 3am in the UK then), tossed around for about half an hour and couldn't sleep................so I got up again to watch what was left of the third quarter to the end (that being close to 5am, which is do-able as I'm retired).

All in all I'm rather glad I couldn't sleep.

Oh, he definitely had some minuses and for the type of player you need him to be, being out of sync with 12 is a cardinal sin. 

At the same time, he showed some shiftiness and ability to find the seams on a few plays. My favorite thing about him was the fight he showed.

Amari, Deguaura and Winfree showed a few flashes last night all with a healthy share of WTF!?  They will all grow from the experience.

You can't really fault Stokes here.

 

 

 

 

Yeah that was filthy. That slight turn and stop gave all the appearances of it being a back shoulder throw. Hopkins being limited the rest of the night with his hamstring injury helped offset GB not having Davante at least

That play.  God Aikman was awful talking about it.  He made it sound like Stokes was burned.  ANY corner would have been burned by what Murray and Hopkins did there.  It was a triple move, with the ball in the air.  It is unheard of.

We've seen 'Tae run some filthy routes.  But none were as slick as that one.  It was the most amazing pass play I've ever seen.  And a testament to Stokes that he was at least within arms reach of Hopkins when he caught it.

I think the best was Aikman calling EQS Cobb there on that on attempt he kept going on and on. I was tinking sheesh yes 18-19 can look similar but EQ is like what 6'5" and Cobb is what 5'8" hahaha. I don't mind those two but Aikman sometimes could be quite for a minute.

Gotta tip our hats to allot of players that picked it up a notch last night. But one play that really stood out to me was when AR tried to run it in from the 6 late in the 4th after the penalty. I think that will go a long way in the locker room with his guys. He laid his body on the line to try and score. He knew obviously how important that was. Too bad he didn't score but dam he gave it all he had.

He's so anti-Packer that it is pathetic.  I remember the Cobb/ESB thing and I was just laughing at the tv set.
