Great game today! The entire OL stepped up

 

[Voljayton]

Yeah he looked very different this game. I'm diggin it.

 

[bullman64]

I swear i think he has been playing hurt. Only thing that makes sense to me. Hope he is healthy and continues getting better

 

[Other_Guy]

Tackles are either finally healthy or got sick of the criticism. Played great.

 

[207 others]

He was great and his score card will go up. Definitely not 38 tonight.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

If he was playing hurt, he looked much better tonight. And he'll have a bye week to heal more.

 

[Orangethumb]

Slowly, and I mean slowly, but surley the offense is adjusting to league play.

Much better play. I didn’t pay attention to shuffling much. Was there any new rotation?

 

[camp_steveo]

I came here to say this. O line was actually blocking tonight. The pocket looked clean for the most part and the running game really got going in the 2nd half.

Looked good

 

[TexasVolfan1]

O-line stepped up and Nico seemed to get a lot more comfortable in the second half

 

[wmcovol]

Ditto. The kid stepped up tonight.

 

[volbound1700]

He was coming back from an injury. It is clear he wasn't 100%.

 

[nomads-11]

Yes, they did well today. Opened holes and gave Nico time, most of the time. He just didn't connect until the second half. Nico is just a bit off, not far off, but enough that it's a really tough catch, or not at all.

Hell of a game by the young man

Amazing the difference a week makes with our fans; most wanted him out of the lineup all week.

 

[General Jack]

The public shaming on Volnation was undoubtedly just what he needed.

Davis got some reps at RT

Campbell will have load management the rest of the year most likely.

Those people are probably biting their tongues tonight

When you play good and win, people love you. The criticism was warranted. The film from Florida was bad.

I’m so glad he proved the haters wrong tonight.

I watched the fla game again and paid attention to the line, particularly heards performance. At times he looked bad, other times he looks like a player. On our second touchdown when Sampson went around the right side to score, heard pulled and made the final block before Sampson scored and was the first one to him in the end zone. That kind of impress me.

Like it!

he had a tremendous game. Took his lumps the last few weeks. I am so happy to see him progress and improve.

Amazing how playing like crap can do that.
