H3: What came up in the live Q&A preview
Spofford highlighted several themes that are likely to drive questions and discussion:
- Injuries and roster uncertainty: Spofford noted the quarterback situation remained “very much up in the air” and said clarity might take a few days. He also mentioned tight end Justin Whyle’s concussion protocol and practice-squad depth at the TE spot.
- Red-zone struggles: Fans raised concerns about the offense’s difficulty finishing drives. Spofford said Josh Jacobs’ limited health is a factor but not the only reason, noting Jacobs has still powered in tough TDs after his injury.
- Defensive coverage breakdowns: Multiple fans asked about missed assignments in the secondary. Spofford emphasized that players must stick to responsibilities — “that’s the best way to play defense” — and noted lucky plays have masked issues in recent weeks.
- Officiating complaints: Responding to a fan, Spofford called recent officiating problems “too big an issue” for the league to ignore, citing a controversial forward-progress/OPI sequence as an example.
- Rashan Gary and performance questions: On Gary’s snap count and effort, Spofford said Gary appears to be playing the run well and his snap counts are increasing, which should help his stamina and impact.
