JB didn’t have time to make play to Moreau. He barely got it out to Carter area.

No way you can give WRs that low compared to your other unit grades. Two drops on night, but these guys got open with really good route running. Protection from O line hurt their chances to make a better impact.

QB: B+ kept plays alive as well as he could, only 2 really poor throws. Ran for a first down and ran close enough for us to go for 4th and 1 early in game. Audible and reading defense pre snap was very good.

RB: B, Brossette read blocks well and Edwards Helaire ran inside well. Not all on them, but we converted no 3rd downs running with any of our rbs. However, we converted two on 4th. Our screen game is still terrible...all parties responsible.

WR: B-, they weren’t asked to do much, but got open all game and helped convert two long 3rd downs. They chipped in down field on blocking pretty well. Protection hurt their potential impact.

Oline: C, I think that’s fair. Too much pressure on Joe and struggled on short yardage runs. They did a really good job on 1st down runs and seemed to be organized and played a pretty clean game.

LBs: B+, really solid putting pressure on Miami and finishing most tackles. Would be an A if they could have finished more of their opportunities in backfield. Very few missed assignments, had the defense playing together.

Dline: B, rotated a lot of guys in and all guys absorbed blocks and allowed lbs and safeties to fly around. Not great pressure when there were some opportunities, but they played their gaps well.

DBs: C-, Great when asked to come in and blitz, but bad in coverage all night. So many missed opportunities on interceptions and completely lost and unorganized covering the deep ball. Delpit was an A, and Greedy played well, but others did not put a complete game together. Maybe it’s a harsh grade, but I feel like the dbs had opportunities to finish the game off and couldn’t do it. I know a lot of new faces...everyone has their good and bad moments. We lost every 50/50 ball.

Special teams: A+, punting can improve. The rest was great. No more squib kicks.

Overall: B, we did most things really well. We played disciplined and controlled the game.
