Making a 30 second commercial takes a pretty good while. It isn't just show up and be done in a hour or three. It probably takes several days.

That said, I agree. Finding the time to study film and also be with someone else to study with you 3-4-5 days a week isn't all that hard. My guess is he is already doing that..

Surpassed expectations: A) Special Teams. Hands down the best improvement of the offseason.
B) Defensive depth. I knew it was addressed, but to see it on display has been nice. This is without seeing anything from Takitaki or Avery.

Met expectations: A) Nick Chubb. so close to 1,000 yards last year, he should fly past the century mark by week 10. My only hope is that the game goes through Chubb to open up everything else.
B) Myles Garrett. BEAST. I know his stats were down last game, but I think that was by design. It seemed as if he was tasked with setting the edge and not let Jackson escape outside the tackles. Which he did to a T.

Below expectations: A) 2-2. I optimistically predicted 3-1, not shocked by the 2-2 start just sayin'. Still in a great spot and in first pace of the division.
B) The offense. I know, there are many reasons for the offensive struggles of the first 3 games, but I expected much more. Scheme, execution, and a lack of penalties all played a part. lets hope the last game was a step in the right direction on consistently improving our play.
