Anyone worries about our D?

We have a couple of players that fug the dog and give up long runs...Mikell, he straight fuging overruns poo and gets caught inside on almost every long run...him and Blackburn in the backfield tripping over each other. Honestly it's not a big issue, because it one big one 15+, here and alot of short ones. What you don't see us give up is 6 yards, 4, yards, 7 yards, 6 yards, etc.

I haven't watched it on tv yet but being at the game, the Jets offense seemed 'fast'.  Their plays didn't take long to develop / execute and the backs quickly hit the holes.  Many of our running plays take a while as we are constantly pulling lineman and loading the box.  They ran several variations from the same general formation and play.  Given that they were facing a superior team, their  running game was respectable ... IMO.

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
