More than Spector? Dude is constantly injured and when he's on the field he's terrible.

He's an emotional guy. Tank Dell is his best friend. And he just watched his best friend, who's dealt with major injuries before, possibly have his career ended. Compunding that, he's also lost Stefon Diggs and losing Dell as well severely hampens their Super Bowl aspirations. I don't blame him for being upset.

Two things that drive me insane with the Defense: 1.) It feels like both LB's are always in coverage when the QB doesn't immediately hand the football off. It seems like they rely on the D-Line to both rush the QB and make the stop on a QB run or a Screen. FAR too often if a screen player or a runner gets beyond the line of scrimmage, there's no one there to make the tackle for large chunks. To the point where non-mobile QB's like Goff are taking off at the speed of smell and picking up 1st Downs. 2.) Even with 5 DB's on the field and LB's in coverage, there's giant holes in the zones. With upwards of 6 or 7 players in coverage, far too often I see a receiver making a catch with 3 defenders in the area - but no one within like 5 yards of them. It's absolutely maddening.

You can make contact within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage, but you can't interfere with a pass in the end zone. If that were the case, WR's would be getting blown up in the end zone on goal line formations within the 5 on every play there. And any time you're making contact with the WR with your back turned towards the ball, you're just asking for a Penalty. You have to be making a play on the ball if you're initiating contact. Neither of those DPI's were BS. If they happened on our WR's in the End Zone, I'd be saying "where's the flag?".

Losing Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell for the year is really rough. But they aren't desperate. They just go from having an embarrassment of riches to at worst, an average WR core. They still have their #1 in Nico Collins. They also still have Robert Woods and John Metchie III. They like Xavier Hutchinson, a 6th Round Pick from last year and are expected to ramp up his usage. And in conjunction with Joe Mixon at RB and Dalton Schultz at TE - that Offense is still in pretty decent shape. It's not the jaw dropping, "holy crap!" Offense on paper they started the year with. But desperate? No. And they'll worry about next year this coming offseason. When it comes to an OBJ or a Johnson off the street with what they've shown on field (and in the locker room in Johnson's case) or elevating someone from their Practice Squad who's been with the team for at least a year and knows the offense - I imagine they'll just promote someone.

He's had 3 full years in the NFL. 3 Training Camps, 3 Pre-Seasons, and 3 years of Practices. He's played in 27 games and had 10 starts. He's had multiple Defensive Backs coaches at the NFL Level and plays for a DB's Head Coach. And the issues that he had as a College Prospect that have had him in the Dog House still exist and were on full display today. I don't believe "more experience" is going to change his leopard's spots, if you will.

He was consistently putting his hands on his man down the field. He was more often than not with his back to the ball. The PI penalties were obvious fouls. Idk what game you were watching, but Elam was atrocious. And against the worst WR core in Football.

Welp. We saw more of Elam. Do you guys want to see even more?

Welp. You all wanted to see more of Elam.

I don't see how he could have seriously hurt his Right Hand on that play. I could see an elbow/funny bone type thing or maybe a pinched nerve. But his hand doesn't take any force to it directly. Here's hoping it's just something minor 🤞

What happened to Khalil Shakir? Dude made the most difficult catches look easy all year. The past couple games he's been missing catches and securing catches that were automatic before. Does he have the yips now?
