GG, How do you run plays 25+ times to the same player and he not get injured? No joking aside, I pretty much expect whoever I "start" in a game will be injured. I knew that's what you were gonna do but the game doesn't actually afford plays to stop those wheel routes to the RB. LB's trail horizontally and don't close the gap until after the RB is past them?

To add to that, only one time in 18 months have I seen an LB actually read/jump a dump off route for a knockdown/interception between the RB and QB. I don't mean at the point where the RB catches the ball but while it's still traveling in the air.

Anyone have any thoughts on those dump off routes?

Great game TBay/BAdder, the TD you got on the last play of the first half was probably the first time that Ive seen that happen, and that's a lot of games! lol. Then the TD with less than a minute at the end of the 4th quarter. My defense def picked its moments to break down on coverage. Was a great game nevertheless, coin flipper. Hope we get the chance to play each other one more time this season in the playoffs.

Probably not worded the best way lol. I think what he meant was now that the Brown's are out of playoff contention, and primary focus has shifted from winning at all costs, to player development and preparations for next season, his rookie QB turned in his best performance, helping to building a new culture and belief in the organization going forward, =) Lets think Garoppolo.. lol

GG greyghost/Jacksonville a real see saw battle. Blakenship and Williams ran on us pretty good. Despite the 2 INT's Denton had a great day! WE were fortunate to get the Kick return. I just picked up Cupples a few weeks ago! He had 207 return yards on the day. That's more yardage than the guy he replaced (total) all year. Two kick returns of 106 yards this season. My defense was swiss cheese this week and my offense was lackluster at best! Have a good off season. I'm sure you will have that team is good shape real soon. Best of luck!.........................MM


gg Meatmen, I see you are still as tough as usual. I got fortunate with the spin as my offense showed up again. Good luck with you journey trying to get into the playoffs.
