for once, our defense played pretty well, but our offense was horrid. i still think we can finish 8-8 or even 9-7. this next game is very winnable against the also struggling titans. even though we've dropped the last 3 games, im still happy that we've shown progress this season.

I'm not trying to put too much on Murray for not being effective much this season, some times that boy literally has someone in his face when they hand it off...but other times, i feel like he just tip toes too much and doesn't run all that hard. I think those two concussions are messing with him, and i'm not trying to dawg him or anything...two major concussions would do that to anyone...but thats kinda what happens when you run high and you're a taller back like he is...

First time I actually think we need to look at RB during the offseasons too. Inability to run the ball is hurting, especially when we continue to try and run the ball with no success. I think Musgrave and JDR need to accept the fact that we're not setting up the run for the pass...we need to set up the pass for the run.

 

[njavier03]

unfortunately, i agree with you. i really like murray and he has the size, speed, and vision to be a really good back. he just needs to learn how to run more effectively. he's still young, but very inconsistent at this point.

Did anyone else think Khalil shined way more in the 4-3 OLB position?

Per BleacherReport:

There are mixed opinions about Mack’s transition from outside linebacker to defensive end. He still ranks as the best run-stopper at his position, but his play jumped off the screen on Sunday.

The broadcasters announced Mack as a starting outside linebacker in a 4-3 base defense. Rookie Mario Edwards Jr. and Denico Autry started the game as the defensive ends.

Maybe it’s a coincidence, but Mack’s play escalated to another level from the first whistle. He led the defense with eight tackles and charged into the backfield for several stops at or behind the line of scrimmage.

Assisted blocks on Mack allowed other defensive linemen to rush the pocket, leading to four sacks and four quarterback hits.

I prefer Mack standing up too I was just talking to my cousin and brother about that a week ago. He's just so dominant back there.

Hopefully we keep him there

Per BleacherReport:

Mack is an OLB. I hated the idea of making him a DE. Mack plays better when you move him around. Not allowing the offense to isolate him. Yesterday's game he played like his rookie year. Causing havoc and filling in the stat sheet. He needs to play the hybrid LBer. By moving him around it allowed others to make plays.

It's the absolute worst. But at least still in the thick of things. Hopefully it motivates the team going forward

When bills lose to Pats, we're still only 1 game back of 6th seed

I really wanted the white sox Bo Jackson but it was gone.

 

[tupac jordan]

Bye bye Ray Ray lol!

 

[The_Isomotion31]

^ Just saw that. Wonder what is in store with the move?

 

[ciscokid]

Praise Jesús! !!

 

[albooboo]

Praise Jesús! !!

That nobody gets hurt. We only got 4 healthy linebackers.

 

[willie mcfly22]

Tafur tweeting Ray Ray was hugely liked in the locker room. Cut could be attention thing after 3 straight losses. But of course he was useless too...

 

[ciscokid]

Hopefully mean ball is almost ready to go

 

[albooboo]

Ball is not practicing. I was hoping we put a claim for Coples. Have him play DE since we now run a 4/3 D.

 

[ciscokid]

Well nvm then, damn

 

[MajinZuub]

Looks like Coples is going to MIA
