I agree one of the two should be good enough...we don't want Arrington too much on the outsides.

Thankfully we don't have any potent offenses left on the schedule. The Jaguars could be a tough matchup for our D if any of the corners are injured, especially if Cecil Shorts comes back from his concussion issues. But we still should be able to win that game handily behind Brady. Hopefully this theory doesn't need to be tested but I think we'll still be fine if we're missing one for a few weeks.

Huh? They couldn't score on the Jets

We better hope he is ok.He is easily our best cornerback.

They didn't have Shorts in that game, who was quietly having a really good season. If they get him and Jones-Drew back in time for us it's a pretty good offense that's been masked much of the season due to Blaine Gabbert being awful and MJD's injury. Now that Gabbert's been replaced they had some good performances for a few weeks before the jets game, namely putting up 37 points in Houston w/o MJD.

Heard on the radio this afternoon that Tom Curran expects Talib to be ready to play vs. SF.

....

Indeed! And follow his usual practice of making the Orthopedists and Training Staff available to the media to answer detailed questions about the exact nature and extent of his injury.

I'm not sayin' nuthin' no more.

I thought hoping for a Playoff Bye was far-fetched when they came out of their Regular Season Bye week...now, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut...I'm at the point where I believe anything is possible with any reasonable configuration of this team.
