Watched the replay this AM

Few things I think I think--

OL and DL are improving.

Holstein is improving with game experience.

Good road win in a tough venue.

The score was closer than it should have/could have been---No Pic 6 by UNC in red zone in the 1st quarter, given PItt's then field position, and the final score could have been either 37-17 or 41-17 depending on whether a PItt FG or TD would have been scored on that drive.

OT : Flacco and other NFL nuggets week 5

I had a real bone to pick with Poni and Mueller on the Fan last week. Sometimes they act like they are the know all be all when it comes to football. Actually, they do all the time.

In any event an older yinzer called the show and said that the Steelers should have signed Flacco as their backup and they mocked and made fun of the guy. Why? Not because his salary alone is more than what the Steelers are paying all 3 of their guys…but because he stinks and no other team offered Flacco $40 million to be their starter.

I didn’t agree with the old guy, but I thought the radio hosts were completely wrong and unfair with the things they were saying about Flacco. Because in my opinion, the only reason Flacco isn’t getting paid is because he's 39. If he were 29, he’d have every team in the league without a franchise QB salivating over him. A QB that plays like him and is 29 would have an 300 million dollar payday. Ignore his age and just look at his play…he’s really really good. And he’s showing it again today. He’s like 9-1 in his last 10 starts. If you have to wins game or two, I’d take him in a heartbeat.

A few UNC Thoughts

Eli, man he is a big threat with his legs. Once again made some key passes. With about 2 minutes left he got lucky he didn’t throw a pic. Just eat the ball or throw it away especially when you have the best kicker in the nation.

Reid & the other backs didn’t have much running room. But Reid still dominated with 205 all purpose yards including a 72 yard catch. There are a ton of good backs around the country but I don’t think there is a better receiving back than Reid. He legit is another WR.

Baer not to single him out cause everyone on the OL needs to play better. But he’s been bad. Gives up more pressures than any OL in the ACC and gets costly penalties. Hope he can get it together.

Fitz, the numbers might not show it but he played really well . Got pressure up the middle, hit the QB and blew up the 4th down play freeing George to make the tackle.

Brewu also blew up a play. He basically overpowered his man walking him back to the quarterback. Kid is powerful.

Louis what more can you say, had the sack to end the game. The guy is explosive, all over the place and the best player on D.

Lots to clean up. But finally got a win at UNC, 5-0 and soon to be ranked in the top 25!
