We were really good in practice against our high-powered offense in the red zone, and it’s showing now.”
“It’s first game in Brazil, emotions high, a lot of sudden change and situations,” Gardner-Johnson said. “So we’re not worried about explosives.Hurts had an uneven start to the 2024 season, somewhat reminiscent of the way he finished last season with three turnovers partially as a result of forcing deep shots toeven if it meant putting the ball in harm’s way.
Some of Hurts’ best completions came from well-designed plays. A.J. Brown’s 67-yard touchdown catch came after motioning out just before the snap and beating Alexander with an out-and-up double move.’s 14-yard catch off a wheel route was set up by Dotson motioning across the formation, vacating the space for Barkley to work up the sideline against a linebacker.
Baun signed with the team this offseason seemingly expecting to move to an outside linebacker role similar to the one he played at Wisconsin, but the former third-round pick spent the offseason working into the rotation of off-ball linebackers in Fangio’s scheme. “I don’t know if I had anything to prove,” Baun said. “I think I was proving it to myself, like I know I can do this and I know I’m a baller, I know I can go out there and do a lot of different things. I proved it to myself.
