Its great that Mitchell is playing well. Its not a good look to move up for a guy in the 3rd and have him getting beat out by 7th rounders and UDFA's.

What do you mean? I thought the draft went like this:

That's just great. The team has tuned out their coach and no one is listening to him.

I'd like to see him ( Mitchell ) get the lions share of the carries going forward too. Mostert should be used sparingly since he can't stay healthy, and hopefully we'll see Sermon Improve as the season goes on.

Snap counts tell all.

I'm still a bit surprised at how Demeco is using Moseley/Lenoir at LCB and the better CB (Verrett) at RCB. I guess that's no longer a thing since Verrett is out, but there has to be some reasoning as to why the better CB was at RCB (LCB usually gets targeted more than RCB). Perhaps Verrett is just used to playing RCB and doesn't want to switch sides?

Lenoir started at LCB vs DET. Moseley is the supposed starter at LCB (since Verrett was playing RCB). Gonna be some juggling at the CB position. Which CB (Lenoir/Moseley) does Ryans ask to switch sides?

Can't say enough about his debut.

Love that our draft disappointments are filled in with happy surprises of later round draft picks.

Run game works, rise or shine. Hasty looked good too. Not concerned in the least.

Don't love it as a fantasy Sermon owner

crazy that Mostert is 3 mph faster... too bad he can't stay healthy. But when he's able to go,

Yeah, this gets interesting. Each week we'll learn more and more about Demeco as we go.

Anything else stand out to you?

It seemed like the DT's were flying up field in 1-gap with bad intentions and the LB's were washed out or filling to the same side as the rush leaving big holes inside.

They should just stop drafting in Rounds 1-4, accumulate as many 5th rounders as possible.
