He looked promising.
What was the deal on the Clifford interception? Did he run the wrong route? He didn’t seem to even look back at the ball. That was such a horrible throw that it seemed to me something else had to happen other than just a bad throw.

I rewatched the play. Clifford had a clean throw and was able to step into it. What I did see was that Tinsley turned in as the ball was being released. I think Clifford was expecting him to continue upfield. IMO, I think Tinsley made the right call by cutting off the route and settling into the open space under the Safeties.

PS I missed it in real-time but the DB Jefferson threw up on camera after the TD.

I think he has the chance to be electric. I'm hoping they concentrate on getting him the ball in medium range passing game. On the defensive side, I think Keaton Ellis had a promising performance.

When unless this was an option route, Tinsley is not supposed to cut off the route; that's precisely how many picks occur.

Just way over thrown by Cliff, Tinsley was wide open from where I was sitting watching on Tv could have been a 25- 30 yard gain if Cliff hits him.

where the ball was intercepted did not look like Tinsley was going to be there in the near future, even if it was a fly pattern.

Tinsley looks like larger version of Jahan. He looks like a great pickup from the portal.
