RJF quietly did a nice job again with 5 tackles.

In 6 regular season games and the two playoff games, RJF now has 16 total tackles and a sack.

Their run defense against power backs is excellent, they do however struggle with backs who can turn the corner. Ajayi is a double edged sword for Philly, he can have great games, disappear completely, or out the ball on the ground. Stopping him will be the priority.

The good thing is that the Pats have some experience with him from his time in Miami.

Great job on Fournette. But yes with the speed/receiver type backs, we still have trouble. That dude Grant had a pretty good game.

I think you mean Kareem Hunt.

And as much as I wanted the Saints to make it to New a Orleans I still think Brees and Kamara would have made that a really tough match up to win. I’m not underestimating Philly but that is the best match up they could have drawn imo.

no.....grant last night......3 catches for 60 yards....though I though the issue was more with recognition than anything else

no.....Corey Grant on the Jags

I didn’t even notice him. We were watching at a party at a bar so I never heard a word, Fournette was the only Jags RB I noticed, I didn’t even see Yeldon make any plays.

That is the last way I’d want to watch such a big game lol. Not even being able to notice what’s going on

I agree, but it was with close friends so we decided to go spend the game with them. The real downside was that they only had two screens and neither was over 40”. I had to keep going up to the front for key plays. It was fun, especially at the end, but I would rather watch from home on a big screen.

DT’s can’t stop swing passes to rb’s. And, it isn’t Their job to set the edge.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

They’ll need to do the same against blount and ajayi.

I thought Branch was supposed to play yesterday and was inactive yet again. Hope he finally is recovered enough to play in two weeks.

BTW, Marcel Dareus was a real dink especially at the end causing a scuffle.

I think per Reiss yesterday, the issue is less Branch's health at this point and more of his effectiveness. I doubt he's active for the Super Bowl, and I'm 100% sure we've seen his last game in New England already.
