Rewatched yesterday knowing they win and was able to see a few things I missed.
Poyer had a good game. Closed coverage well, got to the ball quickly (even stopping a first down). Got beat badly on the TD run up the right, not sure many safeties would have recovered on that.
Hardman. Having him go long, even incomplete helped open the field for the offense for the game. I’m all for taking shots just to give the offense more room around the LOS.
Coleman was addition by subtraction. Shavers had a great game with tons of effort.
Gabe. Gave Josh a safety valve on a few plays. Seemed in sync with Josh much more than when he played here last.
3rd and long. They gave up a first down on the left side 12-15 yards deep too many times yesterday and this season. Not sure if they are in zone when they do this but there is a consistent gap in coverage the receiver finds and sits in about 15 yards deep. Seems too easy for the offense to get long first downs. This was too close a game to be giving up easy firsts like this.
Josh. Nothing can be said but let him be Josh. Yeah, you get not so great goal line interceptions, but you also get a beast who will take the game over and will it to a win.
