  "account": "Social media \"film analysts\" have been quick to label rookie linebacker Sonny Styles as a bust after he appeared in just 30 snaps during preseason games. However, head coach Dan Quinn has put an end to these unfounded criticisms. In a recent game, quarterback Joshua Dobbs scored a 50-yard touchdown run, but Quinn attributed the play to a breakdown by rookie edge rusher Joshua Josephs. The touchdown was not Styles' fault, as Josephs lost contain on the play, allowing Dobbs to break free. Quinn praised Dobbs' performance and highlighted that Styles has the ability to hand off the ball and pull it, much like quarterback Jayden Daniels. Quinn emphasized that the blame lies with Josephs and the defensive back pursuit, and that Styles made a good play overall.",
