Maybe we should be looking a little more closely at the offense that has regressed from 26th overall last year to 28th this year in points per game. Hmm.

Jay and Mcvay better update their resume cause both are garbage

Well, looks like more PT for Compton: Will Compton Expected To 'Play A Lot' Against Saints

It would be better if this were at Riley's expense, and not Robinson's given how much Riley has really regressed (from being average).

One thing I have wondered about is Martrell Spaight. He went on IR in the preseason for a concussion, which seems odd to me. I know he wasn't likely to get much time this year, and perhaps they were concerned he'd be poached off of the practice squad, but I recall that at least Gruden gushed about him early on and said he might be considered a steal in our draft. Goodness knows we need LB help, including on special teams.

Man, at one point, we thought LBs would be a strength of the team -- seems like a lifetime (and several injuries) ago.

All the scouting reports said he is/was a killer bookworm, the perfect combo for ILB.
