Play 1 - KZ forces the pass to Akins, who catches it. I miss TE's doing that, it was cool.
Play 2 - Watch Jordan Franks seal the DE, Trequan Smith slow his route to get under the somewhat under thrown ball
Play 3 - KZ runs up the middle, great hole. Watch Smith catch up to KZ and block down field
Play 4 - Akins catches the ball. Our TE's used to do that.
Play 5 - KZ never takes his eyes off Snelson, who's wide open on queue and scores
Play 6 - KZ being KZ with a perfectly thrown ball to Smith, who catches it in stride. Pure QB talent that I'm not sure we have here in 2022. Akins wasn't needed, but was there ready to block, WR downfield blocking in 2017 was simply insane.
Play 7 - KZ throws a pass to Colubiale in double coverage, who goes up and gets it. We drop these now.
Play 8 - KZ to Smith, but watch McGowan pick up the rusher to give him time.
Play 9 - KZ run, no real comment here
Play 10 - KZ to Snelson in tight coverage, Snelson makes an amazing catch. McCrae saves KZ from getting absolutely DESTROYED by the blitz.
Play 11 - KZ to Gabe Davis, beautiful pass. KZ definitely made his read here.
Play 12 - KZ to Smith, KZ never once looked away from Smith here. Snelson downfield blocking as always.
Play 13/14 - KZ doing KZ magic.
Play 15 - KZ to Snelson, I don't see KZ look anywhere else after scrambling. Snelson stretches out to get this ball, easily considered overthrown.
Play 16 - KZ to Snelson, I don't see a read here. Just a elite WR and perfectly thrown ball.

I stopped at 4:03 as there was no need to torture myself further after last night.

Watching the time KZ has, the blocks picked up by RB's, the downfield blocking by WR's, the elite catches...does anyone think a QB change will really get the current team where they need to be? KZ is a few time in a lifetime QB, but sometimes I think we forget just what he was working with on that team.
