I think Moore needs to just let Shough be the starter. He was willing to take him in the 2nd round. He fits the mold he's looking for. He didn't draft Rattler. Just start your guy. There was no reason to not let Rattler run that two minute drill and rack up those completions and yards while the defense was playing off. Again, you have to contextualize the situations. We often see teams rack up yards in a two minute drill. The defense is trying not to give up the big play.

We get the ball first so we’ll see what Shough has in the first couple of drives.

Does he make some plays or is it a 3 & out fest?

Hopefully the former...

Valid point... But I had that flashback where he could have scored a TD with Miller in the end zone trailing across.

That missed pass to Austin could have been a TD too.

When watching Shough in college I didn't find him to be particularly accurate.

I'm excited to see this second half. I see the the flashes though. I know what they're hoping for ceiling wise.

Yeah that is not what I hoped to see drive 1

dizzle88 · 08-10-2025, 04:55 PM

These routes the receivers are running are so unimaginative.

3 curl routes on 3rd down whilst Shough dodges blitzes.

Agreed.

Nobody was open on that last play.

God dang. It really doesn’t matter who we have at QB. These guys are terrible.

Womp womp on that first drive.
It like some twists and blitzes our offensive line cannot stop.
Pocket collapses instantly.

Oh well.
