I must be watching different games than most of you bc I don't think that Dennard has be good at all this year and he was beaten multiple times against the Jets, including for a TD by Kerley that was negated by a holding call. Maybe he is inactive bc of his shoulder but I wouldn't be surprised if it is due to poor play.

Regarding dobson , they ahd to choose an extra RB white over a WR due to vereen illness.

Dennard plays pretty phsycial at the LOS. They missed him in the earlier games. Notsure why he is inactive.

Dennard plays well in aggressive press man coverage. Apparently we're going to play a soft zone.

I hope that you are wrong about this.

So do I.

It's not looking good for Dobson IMO.

I think so too that they will play zone. They are not going to go one on one with all the WRs. Thing which worries me with giving them a lot of yards is that its going to hard to stop them in the RZ with their big receivers.

I'm not even surprised by Dobson being inactive anymore.

Disappointed about Dennard though. Maybe this is disciplinary?

Just perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Chicago has monster receivers which Dennard tends not to do well against.

I may have overstated a bit - but I did re-watch the Jet game and Dennard looked lost on a few plays - poor reaction, wrong decisions.

OT, but waking up in Maui, heading over to the beach bar to watch all the games at 7am... unique.. GO PATS!

Yup with no dennard zone it will be. Let's hope it works

so Butler over Dennard? That one puzzles me.

I thought Dennard was leaps and bounds better than RyanRyan

You'd think Strahan could afford some dental work at this point. That gap drives me absolutely crazy.

I f*cking hope not. Why do you think so?

Are Revis and Browner not enough for man to man coverage?

LaFell looks really motivated this year, which is good because it seemed like he was complaining earlier. Not so great in long sideline patterns IMO, but a beast running and breaking tackle. Great blocker, but he wants the damn ball! Ha ha. Nothing wrong with that if he's busting tail out there (though he notably quit on one route. Don't think that'll happen again).
