I’ll live with him being short and take a chance on converting 4th down, which they did.I have to ask... how many times did Drew Brees ever lower his shoulder in a situation like that in his entire career? Maybe once... twice at the most? Not his style, and I agree... that was NOT a situation for a shoulder down plow over the guys.

Jurgens is playing his first game (ever?) at LG. We'll see if they tighten things up as the season goes by. But, the OL learning a new system after being in Stout's system for so long has to be a bit of an issue. Muscle memory is strong.My expectations for the O are so low at this point in the season, I’m encouraged even when taking the lesser competition into account.Conversely, I wanted the defense to either hold the TEN to 3pts following the INT or get off the field before half. Disappointed they didn’t manage either situation against Cam Ward & co.

But, the OL learning a new system after being in Stout's system for so long has to be a bit of an issue. Muscle memory is strong.I mentioned early in the week the muscle memory and just instinctively knowing the blocking scheme and not having to think. It was always going to take longer for the offensive line to get down this blocking scheme because I’ve never ran it before. Jurgens might physically not be the same player he once was. However, it’s also hurting him playing a new position but also new blocking scheme is going to take time to get down so it’s second nature. even if you’re thinking briefly about what do i have to do, and it’s not instinctively and second nature to you it’s enough that can throw the whole play off
September 20Sep 20 Hurts only threw to 6 different targets last week. He has now completed a pass to 7 different targets this week. Maybe the best job he has done at spreading the ball around in his career.
September 20Sep 20 Unforced errors. Johnson screwed up twice now on this drive. He whiffed leading to the holding call. Now he's not lining up properly.
