Says Weigman remains a gametime decision. He was out this weekend because they realized he couldn't throw. That does not sound very comforting.
Says the 275 yards passing were too high, but there were steps forward in the secondary. There was obviously the pick, but there were a bunch of passes contested or broken up. Says it was a definite improvement.
Notes that there were a lot of busts in 2018 as the defense adjusted to the scheme, and then they reduced significantly in 2019.
Says one-on-one coverage was "a lot stickier."
Says Drinkwitz is a really, really good offensive coach and has the touch for when to call for a trick play.
Mocks PFF for giving Jaydon Hill a high score on pass rush, "they gave him a high score when he rushed twice and nobody blocked him."
Says BJ Mayes jumped all over the opportunity to play nickel, which he'd never done before, but put in an incredible amount of extra work to get himself ready to play the position. Now they're getting him out on the field a whole lot more.
When asked about Marcel Reed, Elko said "There are still some ups and downs as we move forward. We have a ton of confidence in him."
Says the receivers still aren't getting the right spacing on their routes and the timing keeps getting thrown off.
He's pleased with their work inside the 20. "We were good in the red zone. We came up 2-for-2 in scoring touchdowns. That was good. We still need to be more explosive in the passing game."
Said the coaches were "really happy with the way our defensive line played. I thought they controlled the run game as well as the pocket ... In the secondary, I thought we took a step (forward)."
Players of the game: Nic Scourton and Trey Zuhn. Players of the week: Le'Veon Moss, Dezz Ricks and Tyler White. No, I don't know the difference.
On Noah Thomas: "We have a lot of trust in Noah. Since the first game, he's a guy you try to find ways to get the football to him. ... In the last few games, we've been able to hit them more."
