Shoutout Jacolby George

Great, he's grown.

Now lets just hope when we really start winning, these guys don't let it slip or get complacent with stuff like this.
This is giving me 2000 vibes. Not to say that the talent is equivalent, but the maturity and self governance seems to be really showing.
 
I'm guessing it was this (3:10 mark). First drive of the game, on Cam's 2nd scramble. Ja'Keem Jackson straight up tackles Jacolby and they start wrestling.

 
Looks like they decided the upside down U/Hookem Horns/Gator chop with a thumbs down will only be flagged if it's done at an opposing player. Doing any in celebration with your teammates like our guys were doing Saturday should be fine. Either way, I hope we're a bit more careful vs a tougher opponent down the line or in a close game. It's a judgement call, and there are refs out there that will stick it to us if given the chance.

One underrated thing that all of our receivers used to do back under Butch Davis was as soon as you catch the ball, get going North/South. It should be one football move - catch and go north. Too many recievers catch the ball and stop, and just try to juke a guy out or something. Or they go laterally. That was something that drove me crazy about our WR's over the last 20 years.

You can really see the level of WR coaching has gotten better, because I saw Restreppo, George, and Sam Brown all do this on Saturday. As soon as the ball hit their hands, they were instantly going upfield without stopping to think about it. I don't know if it's that old NFL guy we hired, or Beard, or whatever it is, but the level of coaching at that position has gotten noticably better and that room has been a really nice surprise.

They're also all doing a really nice job of finding space and executing scramble drills

I asked in another thread but I agree and it feels like our YAC this year has been great
