I’ll never understand stopping doing what works so well just because you get up a couple scores. Makes zero sense.

I am also perplexed at how the staff has somehow turned Myjai into a non-entity.

I think Myjai has turned himself into a non-entity, reading his own press clippings maybe. To me he has become a me first type player. On that QB fumble play, all he had to do was get on the ball, but he tries to run with it, before picking it up. How many yards did that cost us?

If I had a dollar for every time he missed a TFL or a sack this season I'd be rich. And for the love of pete stop jumping off sides every game (he got called once last night, arguably there were three occasions were he jumped).

Aside of the occasional "he's going to be playing on Sundays" reference from in-game commentating team, i don't think he's gotten any favorable press in weeks. i'm actually curious whether the coaching staff would consider moving him inside on obvious passing downs. i get that he'd be relying less on his speed attribute but trying to jump the snap is leading to the offsides penalties and the officials aren't calling holding when he's trying to get around the corner. i realize that this just might be a case of moving the same problems a couple of feet closer to the center but if they rush four and move him inside, presumably he would have a more favorable matchup in terms of speed and quickness.

The off-sides calls in crucial situations is infuriating. He was called at least twice in the Navy game, and I believe one was on a 4th and 2 or 3. He also has made some bone-headed plays like the facemask call last night. I get it it that he's trying to get the guy down, and I used to excuse it saying that it was because of his age and maturity. I often think of the first game against Memphis in 2019, where he slapped the QB in the helmet as he ran by him on a 4th down play, getting a roughing the passer call late in the game, leading to their game winning TD.
