Then when you need that great punt you get  garbage, there's a lot wrong with this team top to bottom

You need 10 yards so by all means throw it 2 yards down field.

Medlock is not one of them. Remember his punt in the first half?

Too much faith in Lapo and Nichols, both of whom have been masked by Harris being ridiculously good.

 

Now we are getting the full stink.

Nicely done by Alexander

Taylor Loffler where are you? Where are you? Where are you? You? You? You?

There are about five guys on this team worth building around, Oline excluded. 

Yeah, I'd be looking for a new safety that's for sure.

He's going nowhere as long as Hall is the DC.

They have a good bunch of Canadians.  The Americans are brutal aside from a handful.

Streveler, JSK, Alexander and maybe Jeffcoat can stay. 

People made fun of Mike Kelly for this.

This team may be actually worse than in the Kelly years.

Bighill

 

He’s been good enough but on a one year deal and not getting younger.

he's got a lot of good years ahead of him. We have to sign Bighill long term.

I'd rather let BC paying him $200,000.  He hasn't been much of a difference maker.

that's because of Hall.

As good as he is, this is easily his worst year as a pro and at age 30, you have to wonder how many years he does have left.

Has it? Hard to say.

It's because he misses a ton of tackles and makes bad reads.  If we could play him at WIL I'd consider that, but he's way overpaid.  Keep in mind he rarely played the middle in BC.  Haven't been impressed.

When you’re dead in the water, you start laughing...

We could have had Hurl in there. Imagine our defense then. My point is a different Dc might have used him differently where he would have been a difference maker. Imagine Bighill in a Noel Thorpe defense. We could have found out if our numbnuts head coach had made a move to bring him in after the season ended last year.

Manziel let a ton of clock run off there.  Wow.
