Maas offensive play book and call has been very good. Fajardo is still doing the same stuff as last year but he's doing well. I look forward to seeing them play a real defense
I'm recwatching the game now. I've seen two bad misses on ham and a couple badly missed holding calls on Nelson. Both away from the play which is probably why they went un noticed.
He seems frustrated with the physicality of the cats dbs. The bump n run / press cover took him out of plays heavily a few times early.
One missed on him would've been a first down and he was wearing the db like a sweater with the ball in the air. The tug was on another scramble by collaros he was on a deep out tried to come back and the db rode his jersey.
I wouldn't say it was fine. It did contribute to a good flow of the game. But the cats oline got away with murder 0 holding calls on their line. The trap catch shouldn't need to be a review. The intentional grounding was brutal. No pi though I don't miss the ticky tacky pi calls. It looks like the refs were told to be passive and not make it a slow mess of a game.
If we never got Nichols we probably would've been in on collaros previously. We saw a few qbs move like Reilly and Harris with out much competition.
Collaros was soo damaged and broken going into the 19 season. I'll never forget that interview he gave in Regina and how resigned and defeated he sounded before the season.
I was 100 percent wrong and it seems the perfect conditions came to pass and he is having one of the greatest reclamation eras of any pro qb. He's a great person and player and it's great to see him over come the hard luck and dirty hit.
With out medlock if we had plop we mightve still won last night. But not for certain. If we had Nichols I don't think we could've won that game.
Some thing that got me pretty irked was the no call for intentional grounding on Masoli when he was in the end zone. Should've been another saftey. Nice to see the refs in peak mid season form too.
He had tough running early for sure. He was getting hit in the back field and didn't get much for holes in the first few carries. he also seemed to get much more comfy with time.
Some honorable mentions, Hansen had 3 teams tackles and was flying down field. Mike Jones with a big hit on banks forcing a fumble and putting him in whine mode. Lawler and demski were great in the first half too.
