A short song for some unsung heroes

A lot of well deserved talk tonight about Kyle Allen, and a few others, but I'd like to throw some garlands of appreciation to a few other valuable contributors to today's upset win, on the road:

1) Joey Slye just keeps making those FGs, doesn't he?  He now leads the NFL with 4 FGs of over 50 yds. See, it all worked out that we didn't keep Butker, didn't it?

2) James Bradberry held the heralded DeAndre Hopkins to just 5 receptions, for a measly 41 yards.

3) Coach Rivera, who has turned this Defense into a force of its own, since he's taken over our defensive game planning.  Did you know our 18 sacks, in 4 games, are tied with NE for the league lead?

4) CMC.  Unsung? Maybe not, but did you know he joined Jim Brown as the ONLY TWO players in NFL HISTORY to record 175 yds from scrimmage, and a TD, in 3 of the first 4 games of a season?

5) Super Mario Addison has 5 sacks in the last 2 games, and is now 3rd in the league with 5 1/2.

6) Jarius Wright, who caught 5 passes, for 59 yds, and it seemed like every one was for a FD, as it always does.  The guy is clutch.

7) lastly, high fives for Vernon Butler, Ross Cockrell, and Eric Reid, all of whom put their marks on the win, as well.

All these contributors define a "team win," and it all bodes well for the future.

David Newton’s ESPN breakdown of today’s game...

This is what coach Ron Rivera envisioned during the offseason when he added more speed to the defense, particularly at outside linebacker, and made the switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3 front after finishing 27th in the NFL in sacks a season ago.

 

Get this man an editor this is getting embarrassing

Good one!  I had to read your post 3 times before I caught what you meant by needing an editor.

Most people covering the team have very little enthusiasm for it. Remember, it’s their job. Jobs can become a mundane grind if you have the wrong mindset 

Keep in mind, I said most. There are some very good people covering the team too, and I think you guys can figure out who they are.

Rodrigue and Person are two who actually do seem to enjoy their job, Rodrigue especially. Heck, Voth did it on his own for a while.

I honestly think the biggest problem with Newton is that he just doesn't have the necessary football background. He's a NASCAR reporter covering an NFL team.

Maybe it's some point, ESPN will see us as "worthy" of having a regular football reporter, but who knows?

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
