All right calm yourself. I'm not saying cut the guy, but he's quite clearly still got a lot of developing to do and I'm sure he should be starting at this point. Nothing wrong with that, rookies sit all the time.

Nothing to do with his size, but he's not performed up to scratch thus far

"It's his time" sounds more like he's earn't it than been awarded it by default.

That was awesome. I was half expecting to see a flag with the way the NFL is going, but plays like that make this game great.

Cheers guys. The big 30 today

I don't think he has the range or athleticism required to play FS in our scheme.

Not a million miles from the truth to be honest... Our secondary is full of talent but has never really put it all together. They give up a lot of yards, some of that is the scheme but I'd say they are a little overated. Jake Matthews again is a solid LT, nothing more at this point and out of the 2, Schraeder is probably the better performer. Vic Beasley is a bit of a 1 trick pony as a pass rusher at this point. It's a very good trick however and there have been plenty of dominant pass rushers who relied in their 'go to' move throughout their careers... Dwight Freeney for one. Teams don't typically run all over us and thats not how the Pats wore us down. Establishing the run is key to beating pretty much any team in the league, so again not really specific to us.

What?! We play like that the rest of the year and we might not make the playoffs. I fully expect us to pick it up next week though.

Good analysis. I feel that stand at the end will give the defense a big boost going forwards.

Not sure this defense has done anything yet to be called special, but a win is a win.

I'm not sure he has anything to do with it, and if he does then he's a heartless SOB

Stay safe
