Taylor Rapp, Kupp and AD for my game balls. But yes you can see Weddle's affect on the whole secondary.
Rapp didn't have his best game. The illegal contact call was horseshit, but he was responsible for the blown coverage on the TD.

I’m happy we won. Being 3-0 two years in a row is an amazing feelings. And I’m probably being completely spoiled but things haven’t seemed the same this year. Maybe I’m just waiting for our offense to really break out. Hopefully next week. Bucs defense is horrible.
Happy for the win but a few observations.
-play calling has been really underwhelming, I’m tired of seeing screens on 3rd and long, it looks like we’re conceding for the FG.
-we have completely gotten away from what makes us potent, run game, screen game, jet sweeps, and play action. It’s hard to run effective play action when you don’t establish a run game... speaking of run game...
-Gurley, not sure if it’s on him or the Line, but something is way off, he doesn’t look to have the same wiggle he did, but it could be due to 3 new o-lineman(today at least) not completely gelled as a unit yet. Gotta keep an eye on this.
-Goff, just off tonight, didn’t look like himself, he will get it together, I’m not worried, don’t forget, his stats on the road are just OK, he’s great at home... has the highest differential in QB rating from home games and away games...
- 2 east coast trips in 3 weeks, I’m sure it made some sort of impact on the team, just something to consider.
-proud of the defense, would have liked to see the adjustments sooner, but towards the end Wade buckled down and did the right thing.
-Must have been windy tonight, Greg Z’s kicks made me nervous, unlike him for sure.
gotta keep improving, we’re 3-0 and I’m thrilled, I just hope the offense gets it together, pass blocking was good tonight, so this team needs to figure out what’s Bogging us down.
that’s all for tonight

One rookie mistake on the penalty but yeah I agree he was constantly good in coverage and run defense.I couldnt understand why Collinsworth said Rapp was having a rough day...I thought he played pretty good
Goff played exactly around what's to be expected. He needs to improve on the road no doubt. But he doesn't deserve half the shit people are giving him. He isn't allowed to struggle, and any great plays he make are wiped off the face of the map unless we are dominating the opposite team. We are only going to improve from here. That Browns team was ready for us, and our defense showed up in a big way. We are going to be better in that Tampa Bay game, and you can quote me on that.
Yeah it’s why I said mentally he seems different I think he is 100% physically but there is definitely something up even my 75 year old dad noticed it last week and he isn’t an avid fan of football .. he asked if “ted” Gurley was injuredHe’s very lethargic. Like he doesn’t wanna be there. The one play on our last drive they ran a counter and the corner just took his legs out easily. Last year he would have leaped over him or tried to avoid him.
I don’t think his knee is the problem though. His running looks fine but just seems...disinterested.
that flag was a bullshit callOne rookie mistake on the penalty but yeah I agree he was constantly good in coverage and run defense.
The run on pitches worked against the saints and we needed to run in the inside gaps tonight. Gurley was better than Malcolm tonight also. any road win is a Blessing and Blythe will be back next week. Demby was the nightmare I said he would be. I wasn't over reacting his supposed smarts were not showing and he fell for that D move at a critical time. He has 00000000 punch or strength.

We finally looked good in the red zone.
Both.on defense
Yeah I did like the inside zone and think it's something they'll polish moving forward.I felt like we figured it out in the second half. Pound them with inside zone, and then use the play-action to bury them. Goff just needs to not force that last pass that was Int'd. The other Int wasn't an Int and was more a great play than anything. Young QBs have their ups and downs. Goff is currently down a tad. He is definitely not playing like he did for much of last year, but I expect he'll get it figured and get right.
