Sacked 6+ times and a backup RT

Couldn't ask for anything more of the defense this half... Now LFG Josh and oline

Defense stepping up in 2nd half - time for Brady to stop the counter run and get some.misidrection against this aggressive defense. I like Cook/Rbs over the middle for 4-5 yards every time they sit in quarters.

This feels like Ravens LY, without going against a dynamic offense.

Offense has to score points to open the half - need Josh and Brady in sync. Then Houston to FGs rest of way.

Defense found ways to force turnovers LY, not so much lately. Unfortunately Houston doesnt tend to turn it over. Need better fundamental tackling.

Gonna need to hold Houston to Fgs from here on out. That 2 min drive was horrible

Agree, those 3 cant make a play when needed.

Not McD fault right now. Too many missed tackles, guys are in perfect position/playcalls

Dion into medical tent...looked line pointing to shoulder...hopefully minor

Laces in, I believe...or a weird hold by wishnowski

Laces in I think

This has been going on behind the scenes for a while, Im guessing. Maybe hes only been late to 2 meetings, maybe more? Also possible they've seen him dogging it in games and up until now (with Gabe), didnt have a better option. At some point enough is enough. For Dion, McD to say what they've said - i think its quite clear there is more than we know.

Little to zero practice this week - I think McD wants to see Keon put forth the effort/earn the trust back - and thats difficult to do in a condensed week of prep. Easy choice to put Moore for Samuel, and elevate Gabe and Latu again. Then theyll need to make a decision on Gabe after that, perhaps Hardman cut at that point. Keon needs to take advantage of every practice rep, meetings, etc to prove he deserves a jersey on gamedays - not only to coaches but players as well who can clearly notice the issues.

Jumping in late on the Beane drafting/FA discussion --- I think Beane, in general, is very good at drafting to find a couple quality starters per draft (maybe not in 24 tho). His problem continues to be "missing" on positions of need. It used to be DL, which i think he has acquired some great guys, just bad injuries this year. But now its at WR primarily. 3 offseasons in a row he's tried to fix it - Kincaid, Samuel, Coleman, Palmer --- Kincaid is the only quality player and he cant stay healthy. Cap is not a complete disaster but its way below avg. Thats the difference between being very good and elite GM, and likely between being a SB team vs a very good team every yr.
