XL was mostly absent from TV tape. We cannot count on him as more than a 3-4 at this point.. Honestly I would give more snaps to Horn JR at this point.

All 3 te on the bottom 5

The hell happened to our Te's...I gigured Evans would get a biggercroke coming off the bye week? Sanders?? He might need to put that weight back on. He's been about as underwhelming as Wonnum. And Tremble looks nothing like he used to btw. 

Xavier in the top 5? Nah...Moton in the top 5? Pretty sure I saw him getting beat multiple times 3rd/4th qtr.

What the fug. Everyone told me this loss was on Bryce and he didn’t play well.

Surely he’d be near bottom 5 if that were the case, not top 2.

We have a bottom 3rd QB, leading a bottom 3rd offense.

yay! PFF graded him 2nd best Sunday on Carolina’s offense.

Yes, it's because we don't prioritize it.  A big-bodied individual with a pulse that can somewhat block is pretty much all the qualifications required.

Was the sack credited to Ickey? I know this was a second hand write up and not all inclusive.

Remember when people were saying, "So glad we got Rozebum and Wallace back"......as I said.....doesn't matter. Possibly makes us worse.
