We're lucky as fuck to be 4-0. Normally we'd be 3-1 or 2-2 and apoplectic later in the year with all of the what-ifs. Hopefully the running game steadily improves. It's got to be at least somewhere in the middle of the 2 P4 opponents and the garbage teams, which will be good enough.

Brown is mobile but he can’t seem to stay on his feet with even the slightest bit of contact unlike Gron

Once a decade the stars align and the breaks go the right way. We pay the karma tax for a few years and then empty the account all at once.

I fully expected it to be a TE target. Get a jump ball scenario and hope for the best. But damn that pass, and the body control of Vander Zee was a thing of beauty. I saw it live in front of me and watched the recorded version at home. Still can't believe we pulled that off.

I think it’s questionable whether DJV is actually that good. A lot of hype from limited production so far. But that’s what happens when you have an entire off-season to talk about one really good game.
He's an NFL receiver.

I don’t disagree dj is eventually a nfl te. He’s not been at that level so far this year

Unfortunately, receivers and tight ends kinda depend on another player to perform. Plus, he's been injured. Missed a game. This is the kind of stuff that bewilders me. The guy who was the best tight end in the conference the last 5 games of 2025 suddenly forgot how to play.

He had 4 catches for 44 yards in a game where the offense put up a total of 285 yards of offense. What are you looking for him to do? He had a good game against Michigan.
Well don't you remember last season when he caught 7 passes for like 140 yards? Clearly he's not as good.
