Offense v. Defense using comparable stats

Hali's done. I hope he retires; we just saw what he's capable of contributing when he's the most critical player on the field and it's precisely dick. And it's time to move on from Zombo as well - he was completely useless out there. Now I don't expect any team to be able to continue to take bullets and not eventually feel it, but we've found out that the OLBs don't have nearly the depth we'd hoped. Hali and Zombo barely resemble NFL players at this point and I'm not sure how much confidence we should have in Dadi if he can't get snaps ahead of Zombo.

But I digress, you're right - they were playing soft and hoping. And the shit of it is that it would've worked if Acker could've made one goddamn play at the 2 minute warning. You know Evans isn't looking to beat you deep there; just sit on that route and make one single ****ing play on this entire afternoon to knock that ball away and get us the ball back with 1:55 and a timeout. I think they win it if they do.

But again, the D just couldn't get off the field.

Yeah I told my wife when ford went down that they'd ran out of horses.

I think you can still get something from tamba, but he can't be the guy anymore.
