Saw a stat yesterday that of the 400+ yards we gave up vs. Detroit, more than 210 of them were after contact/missed tackle. That's just putrid. That's man up material. Individually, you've got to be better than that. I hope Fletcher has some kind of resurgence like he did last year because I thought he was done in the 1st Giants game but he rebounded. He's playing like a 38 yr old vs kids.
