Still, redzone and 3rd down stops haven't shown a big improvement yet. But I think it's big that PJ didn't turn it over in the redzone. He's been pretty special everywhere else on the field. Hopefully he has figured out how to protect the ball better there and maybe with CMC on the field we could see those redzone trips turn into TDs instead of INTs.
I was happy to see Tommy Tremble used in the passing game. That will be fun to see more of.
Smitty was in preseason form. I hope he keeps being involved but he seemed out of place trying to talk us through the game. And he needs to quit saying "Also too . . ."
Also too, I think the term needs to be "The DarnArnold Connection."
Yeah, I was impressed to see them using not only Tremble but Tight Ends in general in the passing game. That's something we have lacked since Greg Olsen was at his best.
