Odd, I thought he was playing well lately 

[DJB]

I find this pretty strange. Was expecting to see Elam and Tre tonight

Well they must have a plan...

He has been, certainly better than Benford and Jackson. There has to be more to this.

Discipline?

Could be so many things. Could’ve been late to a meeting. Could be anything.

[Buffalo716]

They are expecting the patriots to run 35 times 

 

he isn’t the best tackler ..probably simple as that 

[oldmanfan]

I suspect we’re going to see a lot of 4-3 alignment tonight.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

If this was for disciplinary reasons, the punishment had better fit the crime.  Just makes no sense with Benford on IR.

So we spent a first round pick on a CB that can't play vs teams that run the ball?

That can't be right.

McDermott found anti-wrestling propaganda in his “notebook”

[BananaB]

Numerous guys out of practice to illness last week and this week. Maybe he caught it at the wrong time

This might not be a “normal” game 

 

they might have fewer than 15 passes … a game plan specific matchup in a once a year game is not unheard of 

 

BB played roulette with his roster forever

[Trock]

Disciplined during a division game? Why?

McDermott should be allowed to dodge this issue in the post-game.  Win or lose.

Wouldn't be fair and McDermott is an honorable man
