I know the offense got 230 yards rushing from scrimmage. But does this mean trouble on defense especially the D-line or is the running game fixed already?

D-line is relatively young, but read the press release, 2 RSFR had a good day getting into the backfield and causing sacks and fumbles. My guess would be the LBs weren't tackling at the line as well, allowing for some runs in the 5-10 yard range

I heard that GC made the D-line move away and create gaps when the RBs were in the field so that the RB game would seem to have improved.

Chavis made sure that the RBs were told that they had to run into the D to make it seem like the D is in top form.

The rest of the team just watched these two positions at play.

You can't take any sort of stats from a controlled scrimmage and make anything out of it. It's not like a regular game. They run WAY more plays than we do in a regular game, plus they work on down and distance and things, not just trying to get first downs and sustain drives.



Some people were trying to rag on Jefferson for only completing 9 of 20 passes or whatever. But Miles said they were working on the long passing game, so if all 20 passes were 25+ yards downfield, 9 out of 20 is not that bad. Or if he'd had gone 20 for 25, but all 25 passes were swing passes to RBs out of the backfield--that would not be nearly as impressive. We just don't know since nobody actually saw it.

if jefferson went 20-25, there would be people complaining that they were all "easy" passes and that he should have gone 25-25



it never ends carl, it never ends.

Nope...I'm ragging on Lee and JJ for not being able to throw a ball to a receiver accurately against, wait for it...wait for it... NOBODY!!!! Every single clip from this year and last is the same damn thing, poor passes. Heck, my high school qb could throw a 15-20 year box in perfectly 75% of the time.

Scrimmage is a totally different story. Barely any of us are there to see what went down. The same with most of practice. We should only comment on what we see, not speculate on something we can't.

they had a lot of yards but it was also on a lot of carries. It was a little over 5 ypc for Ridley and Ford

If you look at the stats 10 completions for 100 yards from both Qb's don't average but 10 yards per completion.

therefore confirm the talk flying around that neither QB has improved on the deep ball.

It looks like Lee will be the back-up QB not Garrett.
