25:48 here’s the thing about the Panthers having “no clue”; TS was making plays out of nothing on several of those huge conversions. That’s what you need from a QB1. That’s the quintessential play maker. They could have known exactly what the saints were doing, called the perfect blitz package and beaten the o-line, but pocket awareness, mobility, patience and eyes downfield trumps that. I think this is the intangible thing people are excited about. It’s not that he’s a solid game manager who doesn’t hurt you with mistakes, it’s that he was making plays and elevating the offense.
AK had a few break away runs and jumping for that 4th down conversion but I still want to see more of Devin Neal. I was hoping to see Vele get more chances with Rashid being traded.
Should that rule be changed? If a kick is blocked that should be it for the kicking team possessing the ball unless the blocking team possesses and loses it.
I wasn't even upset with the Ried penalty. I just said to myself, this what 1-8 teams do.
Remember we're 2-8.. Slow your Roll.. Yes it's nice to see Tyler come through..
For me, the Taysom issue is, we're in full on evaluation mode right now with Shough. We need see what we have or don't have with this guy.
Find you someone that loves you like Riddick loves Shough.
(Or even like Kiper loves/loved Sanders/Levis would work too)
Good show boys. Mondays with hope are a rarity lately. Let's enjoy the hell out of it.
