love how TJ played, but he grew into the game. Ensminger called an amazing game and got him settled in and allowed his nerves to subside before asking more of him.

I agree with everything you said, but this portion seems to be a common sentiment this morning. “Well he was allowed to get comfortable in the game,” like that’s a bad thing.

Give the kid some credit—it was an SEC game in his first start and he did all that was asked and more and we won the game. No need for everyone to run to Myles’ defense Because TJ played well. He can stand up for himself with his play.

I didn’t mean any negative connotation around allowing him to grow into the game. It simply means he had a bit of help getting comfortable. Still had to execute, but the staff did great with him.

As for the 5-20 ya route comment, I do understand it is the bulk of passion, but I said it that way to emphasize that we were not pushing the ball thirty+ yards downfield and stressing the safeties the way Brennan does.

As far as it being night and day, I couldn’t agree more. Brennan is the clear winner. Zero run game help, and put up more points in two of three games than what TJ did WITH a run game.

People are getting bright-eyed and bushy-tailed over the 52-spot we dropped, but forgetting that we had a pick-six and a kick return TD.

TJ stepped up and stepped in like he was a vet, but let’s not forget that Myles is setting records and destroying defenses even WITHOUT run support.

When you have a QB that can do that, you don’t bench him.
