noticed the same thing. looked like he got all excited and ran out on to the field - then felt kind of awkward about it, changed his mind, and walked back.

dareus is playing out of his mind. he is on pace for 61 tackles, 16 sacks, and 3.2 ff this season. at defensive tackle, thats ridiculous. if he keeps it up, this kid is going to be due a mario-williams-sized contract this spring.
there most certainly was a period (~3 seasons ago) for which he was one of the NFL's premier safeties, probably in the top 2 or 3. if that's not elite, i'm not sure what is.
suh is the only defensive lineman in the league who is in same league as jj watt (granted, jj watt is miles ahead of suh). watt single handedly beat us last week, hopefully we can prevent suh from doing the same.
quite the self-congratulatory thread you guys have going here.
really though - you guys do a great job breaking news and keeping the rest of us level-headed, so thanks.
if NE wins 3 of those 4, they'll be 5-3!
i think the key to this year is going to be our divisional record, specifically against the patriots. that week 6 game is going to be so important.
