Forget deals for a WR; Beane has got to go find at least one and possibly 2 DL before the deadline.

There's a complete lack of cohesion in the secondary right now, and before our WGR-quality whiners chime in, it's not anybody's fault. They are trying to work 4 new guys (two of them rookies) into 2 spots all at the same time as a result of injuries. They are playing most of their snaps every game with a crew of DBs who are in places they're not used to and have had no chance to consistently play with each other at any time this year. Toss in losing Taron and now both their nickel and dime are being manned by yet two more new guys in roles they're not accustomed to and their lack of familiarity with their roles and each other which ratchets up that lack of cohesion by yet another order of magnitude. Their communication is not there, their pass-offs are balky, they're ending up in the wrong part of their zones because of it and it's inevitably going to be a messy, messy mess in the short term, particularly with a DC who has already been struggling for the whole year to have them on the same page. I think they can ameliorate it by just making 3 permanent switches right now and stop trying to pull off the juggling act while you acclimate new guys in. Just tear off the bandaid tomorrow morning and start Hairston and Hancock with Tre as the full time dimeback (and primary backup) and leave those guys in those positions for 100% of the game. Cam Lewis is the primary backup at both nickel/dime with Poyer backing up both safety positions. Do it right now and let these guys get an opportunity to learn and get better together and maybe by December you've got a unit that is starting to gel and getting better every week right at the time you need them to be doing that. I appreciate working Hairston and Hancock in slowly as green rookies, but it's November and the time for that is done with. It's hurting this team right now, and is going to for several weeks, but if you make an immediate commitment to your final configuration with no more dithering they can shorten the pain of that transition and still have a potentially good unit when we're really going to need it.

Again

Another giant pile of crap. Hoecht has played 4 straight 17 game seasons plus a bunch of postseason games and has never missed a single game in the NFL.

This game is too big for Ingram. They've got to be a looking for a way to get him off the field, but Taron being out complicates everything.

He's playing

They've got 9 guys in the box

> Bishop is coming hard to separate a receiver from the ball on a huge down in the endzone. > He lead directly into teh contact zone between the waist and the shoulder that the NFL wants defenders to attack. > There is no chance in hell he can stop after that ball is deflected and he was 100% rgith to follow through on the play in the legal strike zone.

I think he was absolutely more explosive the last few years. I suspect that he's beating the dogsnot out of himself cuz he loves attacking the run game and it's wearing him down.

He made it a point to get underneath that pad, too. I like that.

I think they got caught in single high with Hancock shading to Rice while Benford continues to play trail technique on guys he can't run with anymore.

Yes

He needs a tramp stamp that says "Exit only"

When you tie up too much cap space and draft capital in WR instead of OL and DL, that's the kind of team you end up with.

If they'd put more resources into their OL and DL and less on WR, maybe they'd be 5-3 instead.

To be 3-5? If they'd put more resources into their OL and DL and less on WR, maybe they'd be 5-3 instead.

I think you need a tiny bit of THC to properly activate the CBD, but you can find it in small enough ratios that it won't mess with your head.

It doesn't work for me because I have too much structural damage from decades of dipshlttery, but I've got buddies who've ahd really good results from the anti-inflammatory properties of quality CBD creams (if you can locate the source of the problem) or oral concentrates (if you can't).

Go ahead and tell him that he shouldn't scream when he Jills off.

Nobody has ever been afraid of the Dolphins despite a couple outlier Tua performances. Comparing that pie in teh sky Miami team with a fundamentally sound and well-coached Patriots team is apples to oranges.

Should folks close their eyes, stick their fingers in their ears, say lalalala and pretend they're not a problem?

It's miserable and fu(ks with every single aspect of your life, both physical and mental. Have they tried any cortisone injections?

Something is pinching or pressing on your nerves in there and it doesn't always show up on an Xray (i.e. broken up or protruding disc material). I've had 4 spinal surgeries, none of which could have been done without good imaging first. If meds, exercise, etc don't have any effect, an MRI might be the only way you can diagnose the actual issue so that you can address it.

You had an MRI yet?
