agreed, it is certainly the most notable difference that I saw.

Oh. I thought he was #31. I'll correct my statement to say that Carr and #31 seemed to be getting beat in coverage.

The willingness to call audibles is huge. One of mankind's greatest mysteries is why an NFL football team wouldn't let its quarterback call an audible. It was like we willingly tied one hand behind our backs before a fight.

I had Barth getting his one KO to the 3, and Novak between the 6-10.

My mistake.

I think he wore down quite a bit as the year went on...
He played more than he expected to. And he truly wasn't in the kind of shape necessary for being an every down guy. That hurt Napolean Harris.

We need a real DE.
I said this for months and everyone thought I was crazy.
Doesn't seem so crazy now... We cannot field a Defense that can't get to the QB. Hopefully a serviceable DE gets cut before the season opens.
Not crazy at all, I was saying this before the draft and before we traded Allen. [sigh] I guess we can't fix all things in one offseason but it is bad, bad news if Hali is our best DE.

That's what cost this O-Line. We invested far too many picks in the D-Line and gave only low-round commitments to Offensive Line prospects.
Ugh, don't remind me. Truly disturbing when you consider the return on all those investments. We still don't have a Dline (although I guess it is still early to give up on Hali, Tank and Turk).

Hali may yet develop into a "#1" guy but he has not been that guy his first few years in the league. How old is he, anyway? Seems like he was in his mid-20s when we drafted him. I would love to be proven wrong but I don't think Hali has been worth the pick so far.

#31 is Maurice Leggett

Oh so wait, is Tamba the guy I said he was all along?

pfft. wish we could have a 26-year-old future hall-of-famer.
