You were right!

Here’s a clip from our friend Mark Tyler of Hog’s Haven showing Payne toss to the ground one of the best centers, Alex Mack. Notice also how Sweat takes on a double team, stays in his lane responsibility, and still jump on the pile. https://mobile.twitter.com/Tiller56/status/1164884325449572353 Bye-the-way... why don’t my tweet url copy-and-paste display only as a text line?

I look at pre-season as a progression. A new QB, a rookie QB, a new OG & LT, a new safety, a rookie OLB, young guys from last season a year older, etc.. You cannot argue that we haven’t seen progression over these past few weeks. Yes, there is still two glaring question marks over Case Keenum and the left side. But even those two areas have shown progress. We definitely have a ways to go, that’s for sure. Hopefully the next two weeks will continue the upwards progress, especially when the coaches can put all of their attention to the starting 22 and not the 90 men they have now.

I can’t believe there’s nit-pickers as well. Look at the Falcon’s second drive: 3 yard run 1st & 10 ATL 20 (12:25) M. Ryan scrambles right tackle to ATL 23 for 3 yards (M. Sweat) 3 yard run 2nd & 7 ATL 23 (11:37) (Shotgun) I. Smith left tackle to ATL 26 for 3 yards (J. Moreland; Montez Sweat) Pass Incomplete 3rd & 4 ATL 26 (10:56) (Shotgun) M. Ryan pass incomplete short left to A. Hooper (M. Sweat) Punt That series had Sweat on every play. That’s called ‘taking over’ or ‘domination’. And Sweat had only a couple weeks of TC while he nursed his calf? Wow!

Glad you mentioned Blunt. I noticed how well he played the run by filling the gap and making solid tackles. He also had a pass defense, too. I think he started the 2nd half so he must be considered 2nd team with SDH out. Seems he’s worked himself up UDFA to a possible spot on the team. At first I thought he was a safety but I see he’s listed as a LB but only 6-1 and 220lb

On one rush, we were in nickel as it was 2nd and seven 7 and only had 2 DL with Sweat on the weak side. Matt Ryan must’ve switched the play from pass to run and Sweat crashed the LT as the RB ran around Sweat. However, Sweat recovered and immediately spun around and hustled to the RB and made the solo tackle. For a 260+ lb end to be able to redirect his body and catch the RB from behind for only a 2-3 yd gain was impressive, I thought.

I thought Harmon played well last night against Atlanta. He gets open and adjusts to the ball so we’ll. Granted he’s going against 2’s and 3’s, but I think he makes the 53. Such good hands.

I'd like to add how good Landon Collins and Montez Sweat looked.

I'm feeling pretty good, too. Well, relative to the last couple of weeks. On offense, LG is still a WIP but has made good strides. Defense not showing any obvious weaknesses. Special teams on the spot tonight as well. Looked like a much better coaches team.

McKinzy on fire tonight... looks like a man playing against boys. Great bend around the tackle.

Bye bye #34. A great play but taken away by a boneheaded move.

Davis with two punt recoveries!!

Looks like the third team. I don't see Settle or Brantley

#67 OL Zac Kerin had some good blocks on that series

Serine running like he's possessed. Coaches must've chewed the team's asses off last week - they look much improved but a ways to go.
