Random thoughts the morning after...
Burrow is clearly not himself. He's mostly throwing with his arm, not his body, and so the ball sails and floats on him. That said he can and did sling it from time to time, but he's clearly picking his shots to minimize the risk of re-injury.
He's also sticking to the pocket a lot more than usual, so props to the line for keeping him mostly clean last night. Donald got in his licks but that was inevitable. He really abused poor Volson on a couple plays, but Cordell redeemed himself with a great block on the Mixon TD run.
Too many false starts. I know they want to rest Burrow to the max but we cant afford to waste 1-2 series every week getting everyone on the same page.
Higgins needs to scrub his hands with Dawn dishwashing soap before the next game to get the grease off.
Since we always bitch about coaching, props to Taylor/Callahan for moving Chase around to create opportunities for him. That paid off handsomely. More of that please.
Mixon has not looked this good since his rookie season. He's running through guys, brushing off arm and ankle grabs, hitting his lanes fast and really seems to be seeing the field. I don't know where he's been the last couple years, but welcome back, Joe.
Myles Murphy still has no stats. Yeah, his opportunities are limited but through three games he's been in on 19% of defensive snaps and 22% of ST snaps. Production: zero.
Fortunately we have Trey Hendrickson.
Dax Hill had a great night overall, though IIRC he got burned on one of the long balls. Defense gave up too many big pass plays last night imo. But a combination of luck, bad LA playcalling and good defense got them out of multiple jams. Biggest one might have been that TD pass that was called back for the receiver allegedly being a RCH out of bounds. I still think the Rams got jobbed there, but I'll take it.
Logan Wilson certainly earned his extension money last night.
Was good to hear Reader's name called a couple times. Been a minute.
