Doesn’t sound good for Hill...
He runs hard. Certainly not a SMALL back. Just not tall. 5’10” 200 pounds.Need a big body RB. Webb is not that.
The fact that Hill walked around when he left the tent has me 50/50.
@luuked - I want to apologize to you. I realized during the 3rd quarter that what you said about Allen could have been taken two different ways and I took it as meaning the negative since you had been saying that Special Teams had been bad to that point. I should have asked what you meant. Again, I'm sorry.
ST had awful kick coverage. Not sure what this is about but it looked pretty systematic on every play so hopefully it is an easy fix.
I didn't see an aggressive d in terms of blitzing or trying to scheme guys open on stunts etc.
Will have to wait for the all 22 but we just won 1 on 1's today & were a lot of comfortable/prepared in game 1 than most anticipated.
As talked about in ST thread that was to be expected with significant turnover - not only losing core guys Ricahrds, Bolden M.Flowers but also bringing back rehabbing guys Slater, Ebner (seemed far from his best) without preseason. The new guys (Bentley, Roberts) looked a bit lost and JMC is like a player less there (as noted in preseason) schlepping on twin brother.. i dont know if thats “systematic“ but could need some time to fix it.
The problem is that busy and important guys with little depth behind them are playing these units (DMC, Chung, Burkhead..) and it looks like they will have to do that for some time further. But i fear that as long as JMC plays this unit it will not be as strong as it should be. And with Hill out they will need another ST body on most units.

Doesn't matter. I was conflating the coverage on punting and kicking at some point so I was talking out of my ass as well.
So did Dion vs the Skins...Just remember that Brady walked to the locker room after the hit to his knee against the Chiefs and we know how that turned out.

I'm trying to spread optimimizm and you are destroying itPlayers with ACL tears can immediately walk
Biggest disappointment was easily the STs, excluding our kickers.
Excellent game until the defense went to sleep in the 3rd quarter and McCarron muffed the PR.
Sometimes winning becomes too routine...
Watt-Clowney-Mercilus is basically the best set of 3 pass rushers in the NFL & the OL stonewalled them for the majority of the game. I also thought the group paved some nice holes in the run game.
