I forgot to add him. He played hard as well.

The first page, first paragraph, was a real doozie!

What really annoyed me is the O line, Ruiz and whoever was at RT in the first quarter, allowed multiple free rushers right at Ian and then whilst the poor kid is picking himself off the floor, Ruiz and this guy are just pointing at each other about blocking assignments.

I'd like Ian to start the next 2 games, but he needs some help on offense and I don't want him to get disheartened.

Ruiz needs to go, such a reach in the first round, just like Peat.

I saw some early stats that said he dropped back 10 times and he was either sacked, hit, or pressured on every single one of those plays.

It was stunning, really. At the point where he had like 23 drop backs he'd either been hit or sacked on 21 of them. It was brutal.

Ian needs to learn how to throw the ball away & not take sacks.

Unnecessary punishment.

Live for another day.

If Book is going to be your QB you better get him a lot of weapons on the outside. This isn’t the ACC so the mobility he flashed in college will not work for him in the NFL.

In today’s league you have to be able to stretch the field…at least have a threat. Book’s are looked weaker than Taysoms…not good. That was the biggest knock on him in college.

He wasn't utilizing the pocket on occasions when he had some sort of one. He kept rolling out of it to the right taking away the whole left hand side of the field out of play.

He had open receivers all night, but had no time to even recognize them. Brees would have been finding them all night long making the Dolphins back off the pressure.

What annoys me so much is that Book even got buried on the 17 yard completion to Callaway, during MAX PROTECTION.

I think it showed for what it is, a guy starting who all season has taken nothing but "mental reps" and nearly half the team out with Covid.

Hopefully Book can use this performance as a spring board and grow from it, we aren't getting anywhere with that O line though.
Ruiz basically retired Brees, what chance did Book have?
