CEN-CAL17 Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 I would like to hear some opinions on what you thought about Dion's first start... what do you all think and we did you see?
GunnerBill Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Tough assignment but had some struggles. I suspect he will grade out poorly on proper review.
Pirate Angel Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 it was so bad it made me be thankful that we have Mills
Lurker Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 I'm sure the pressure had nothing to do with it No push in the run game, lots of pressure given up on the pass rush. TT bailed him out a few times on what would have been sacks with a less mobile QB. Â Still a rookie. Still a work in progress...
boyst Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Was he ever going to get better than a C against this team? I didn't watch a down and I'll give him a B. Because B
dwight in philly Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 i really cannot analyze .. but they won.. ill read all the "expert" opinions on here and then i will know.
John from Riverside Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Are we factoring level of difficulty given he was going against one of the premier pass rushers in the league?
JohnC Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 I would grade his play as a C- to D. And I'm being generous. He struggled but you learn by playing. I'll be interested to see how he does by the second half of the season.
H2o Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I give him a D+. He wasn't completely horrid, but you can definitely tell he's a rookie. Glenn needs to get better quick for Tyrod and the running game's sake. Edited September 25, 2017 by H2o
Big Turk Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Tough assignment but had some struggles. I suspect he will grade out poorly on proper review. Good Enough to help us win...
ganesh Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Below average with all the negative yardage...But then he was also going against the best Pass Rusher in the NFL
PABillsfan23 Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 He looks overmatched in every aspect
GreggTX Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 I think it's safe to say that none of us watched closely enough to grade him fairly at this point, but as far as Von Miller's numbers go, a lot of NFL OT's have done far worse. There are no OLB's that I've ever seen play that are any better than Miller and I've been watching pro football since the 60's. Frankly, I expected far worse.
GunnerBill Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Good Enough to help us win... For sure and he was playing against probably the best pass rusher in the league. It was a rough start on a tough assignment. There will be better days to judge Dion than this game. Cordy remains one of the top 3 players on this team though and they need to get him healthy asap.

YoloinOhio Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I may be in the minority. I expected much worse. It was baptism by fire and even though Von got his sacks, he didn't wreck the whole game plan. They couldn't stop him they could only hope to contain him, and imo it was a decent performance for a rookie in his first start vs not only a player of that caliber in Von Miller, but that whole DL is made up of studs.
