I will toss this out right now...

NU will have two of its longest runs of the season on Saturday.
I'm hoping we have two of our longest completions of the season, not including yards after catch. Whatever that stat is. Will TJ have touch on the long ball? But yeah, I expect us to hammer the run game and TJ will for sure bust one or two.

The main thing for TJ is not to get rattled just stay as calm as he can and trust the guys will do their jobs. You have a good team when each player understands his job and is committed to doing his job a 100%, don't let your teammate carry your share of the load, that's what losing teams do.

turnovers will be the Numero uno key to this one. will be fun to have a QB with a little lightning in his game.

if lateef can hit passes while running he could be a very dangerous player, a big nil player too.

the amount of offense that could open up from oline, to receiver's to emmit ...would make it look like a completely different offense

Let's hope TJ plays very well the next three games. Not well enough to get poached by another team, but just good enough to win a game or two here.

I’m hoping Dana has plenty of RPOs dialed up for TJ. You cannot expect him to be able to go through a 3 or 4 route progression and be successful.

Fantastic interview. And I love what TJ was saying about the support of teammates AND “one play at a time.” This is the first time I’ve felt much in the way of optimism moving forward.

Go Big F’g Red!!!!

A true rookie in his first ever start will make mistakes. That’s pretty much guaranteed.

But this interview provides hope that maybe this team can overcome those mistakes.

GBR!!

Not only is he a rookie making his first start, but also our OL’s pass pro completely and totally sucks.

If his first or maybe second read aren’t there, he’s gonna tuck and run.

We can only hope he’s been tutored in Touchdown Tommie’s spinning escape from a collapsing pocket. That move was so damn predictable, and yet so damn effective!
