The coaching. I have been critical of the staff. This game was turned on one call. Memphis has all the momentum and Odom has the balls to go for it on 4th down from his own end of the field. If he punts the ball there this game could have ended totally differently.
The pass defense. The pick six and the other interception were great, but it is more than that. The bothered to actually try to prevent the WR from catching the ball. All the way up to this game I was thinking interfere with them if you need to, at least look like you are trying to defend the pass. They did that and it was great. We are still a bad secondary but at least we have a pulse. The Memphis QB was one of the most efficient in the country so this was not some nobody they did that too.
The pass rush. This probably helped with the above point. Multiple sacks and they were in the backfield all day.
Albert O. This was finally the 2017 and better Albert O. One of the most productive days I have ever watched from a TE.
Knox is the real deal. I hate comparing guys to all time greats and think the JMAC stuff is premature. But this is the first time it looked like a legit comp.
Lock. He did exactly what we hoped he would. Plus good decision making. The couple times they had the play shut down he just threw it away.
Rountree is the freaking man. Beast mode.
What I didn’t like
I hated that their RB went down. I thought this would be a great warm up for Snell.
Wish they would have let Powell throw the ball more. If something happens to Drew we need him ready.
Just a couple stupid penalties. One extended a drive that Memphis scored on.
That’s it. Great job. MIZ lets go 5-0
