I liked that. Good on ya Jeanpierre.

On a play like that there is really no danger of fumbling because it's a dead ball foul so the instant anyone moves before he does the ball is dead and the play is over.

If you watch tape of Carp playing next to Unger, Carp looks mysteriously better than he did Sunday. I also don't trust Carroll on this because Carroll says a lot of things for various reasons when it comes to how well someone is playing. He said Jesse Williams looked fantastic after the first preseason game. Incidentally, PFF is basically worthless without transparency into how they grade. They said Lem didn't give up a pressure whereas I rewatched a fraction of the game last night and in one play during that fraction his man beat him instantly. Someone else got to Wilson first, but that's hiding important information if they don't count that as a pressure.

All I'm saying is that the team shouldn't feel like they have to rush Unger back.

Timing and getting the rest of the line in sync is more important than just overpowering everyone IMO.
