After the game, however, safety Kyle Dugger took full responsibility for it and freed No. 0 of any blame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s got all the tools,&#8221; the cornerback said of Metcalf following Sunday&#8217;s contest. &#8220;He\u2019s fast, real fast, physical, smart. You know, he studies a lot of film, you can see how he plays. You know, he\u2019s been in the league, so he\u2019s done it, he\u2019s done it against multiple different corners. That\u2019s what he does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite Metcalf\u2019s solid performance, Gonzalez was a competitive matchup upon further review\u2014even if it took time for the corner to settle in.<\/p>\n<p>Metcalf is one of the most physically intimidating players in football. The 6&#8217;4&#8221;, 236 lb blazer plays with a mean streak, and he&#8217;s known for bullying receivers as both a receiver and blocker. Gonzalez likes to get his hands on opponents, but press is rarely a wise strategy against Metcalf.<\/p>\n<p>Early on, that was reflected in the former Oregon Duck being thrown to the ground and losing multiple reps. Luckily, Geno Smith either didn&#8217;t find his receiver or couldn&#8217;t connect on these plays.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DK Metcalf set the tone early against Christian Gonzalez <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qcz4WO2H22\">pic.twitter.com\/qcz4WO2H22<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Taylor Kyles (@tkyles39) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tkyles39\/status\/1835604547500216444?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 16, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Deatrich Wise kept a TD off the board with this timely pressure <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9QtxqHynVM\">pic.twitter.com\/9QtxqHynVM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Taylor Kyles (@tkyles39) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tkyles39\/status\/1835605041073320068?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 16, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>As the game progressed, Gonzalez found his way, and by sticking with his technique and remaining confident in his skill set, putting some smooth, reps on tape.
