Go get me a juice box!
Mitchell was the surprise of the game to me. I made a lengthy post in Hayden's thread last night and realized later that I forgot to mention Mitchell. I wasn't overly impressed in preseason. He had loads of energy but very little variety or effectiveness. That changed almost immediately yesterday. Suddenly he was using his arms much better and creating attack angles. Disruptive on play after play.
I still need to see it against a quality offensive line. New England was shockingly poor in the trenches on both sides of the ball. I knew Satele would receive a high grade but he looked mostly the same to me. The Patriots were on their heels trying to defend the inside zone plays so Satele was allowed to get the first jump and turn his man instead of being bull rushed.
I actually missed Soliai as we got into the 2nd quarter. They seemed to be gashing us on in the run game.
Something changed after that.
