Really only one thing to clean up

[rjdriver]

What an almost perfect game in all three phases!!!!!

I’m not complaining, but I’ve really taken to Mac routinely stating in press conferences that there is always stuff to clean up.

There isn’t much today except for one thing the was a little frustrating.

PERSONAL FOULS.

I think Big Cat got called for two and there was a third that nullified a fourth day allowing them to score. It’s weird to think that has it not been for those personal fouls , the game would have had an even greater spread.

Again, I’m enjoying the win and am not en Eeyore. Penalties are part of the game but we will need to clean up these personal fouls moving forward. There is just no need for them, especially coming form veterans.

Running game needs work imo but I'm excited about this win and the special teams play is a major pleasant surprise.

Run blocking!!!!!

Mafe and Hall combined 3 games stats:
3 tackles
0 sacks

For how much this offense is centered around the run they need to get better. On the bright side at least they stay committed and it opens up the pass game, Darnold has been really good when we need him.

That's very LAME.

Please explain

You're kidding....right. ?

No, I’m not kidding. I don’t know if you’re being facetious or not. If you weren’t kidding, what was wrong with those two critiques?

You're kidding....right. ?

Do you think it’s lame that they have those combined stats, or do you find it lame that a poster brought up those stats?

This was probably the best all around game in a long LONG time. IF we are nit picking perfection, I would add there is not enough sacks. In 3 games, only 4 sacks. Murphy 1.5, Reed 1, love 1, Williams .5

Against these weaker team, clearly sacks are not needed, but as the year goes, Mac will have to address this problem...and we know he will!

Mafe and Hall just aren't taking the next step.

Too much focus on not enough sacks… not enough focus on the best pressure rate in the league. We are speeding up QBs into INTs and poor decision making. It’s going to pay dividends all year. The sacks will come.

You don’t play for sacks, they are a byproduct.

 

[Natethegreat]

We have the highest pressure percentage in the league. Not sure sack numbers are really a concern here.

 

[jman316]

No QB has looked comfortable against our front 7. With Nick and Spoon back in the mix, QBs won’t even have a chance!

You have a large infatuation with sacks.

They are doing fine, they are getting pressure and drawing holds, Hall drew another one today, should've been 2 on that TD to Stoll, the biggest thing is pressuring the QB into bad throws which they have done-as soon as Kendrick learns to catch they will get more INTs

Yes, it’s kind of a big thing with outside linebackers

Short-sighted. Their pressures are causing drive killing penalties and rushed throws. Seattle is top of the league in INTs and lead with pressure from the front 4 which includes Mafe and Hall.

Yeah, they don't highlight pressures on the talking heads shows, but they're almost as good as sacks as they lead to skittish QBs who make errors.
