There was a guy on defense last night who I’d never heard of. Ezekiel Turner, #47. When I looked him up I kind of remembered having read he got signed in November. He got 9% of snaps at LB.

They need him back urgently.

More like Jake Boo-dy, am I right?

Wow what a run by Gibbs.

Oh Kerby. My hero.

Pull your head out Branch.

They had three cracks at him and finally a guy I never heard of brought him down.

A STOP! And our kicker is better than their kicker.

Oh he almost airmailed one to Kerby again.

There was Melifonwu. Almost got home.

Lions ahead. Looked like Gibbs was in the backfield.

This is not the time to rest him if you can play him.

Where’s Gibbs? They were doctoring his face after he picked up that blitz on the last drive. Hasn’t been back in.

KER-BY JO-SEPH

Uncatchable by anyone but Joseph.

Lions not looking good on kick coverage tonight.

Vikings fans are always salivating.

Back in it. Maybe in the second half we can see Melifonwu blitz.

The defense on IR would be a top-10 starting unit.

I did not like that call. They needed the points.

Yes to all this. Beyond this is the role of the QB before the snap. Nobody but the coaches and QB will ever know what the QB is asked/allowed to do to read and respond to defenses at the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. No rating system can ever capture it. But then over time you see a guy winning 14 games with two different teams and you realize he must be pretty good at putting his offense in good positions.

Looking back at the mock drafts, it is amazing how the hive mind forms. If it is scary to be wrong even as a mock drafter, imagine how much scarier it is to be wrong when sitting at pick one. But in retrospect, Daniels was the far more mature and NFL-ready prospect as compared to Williams (and even Maye, who was mocked by many to go before Daniels).

Love looked like a turd out there.
