Defense is getting thin but I don't think it makes a difference at this point, they were already too bad to repair.

I really hope Doughty makes it back this week though.

Maybe since we're deep at LB, we should consider moving Kerrigan or Orakpo to DE, preferably 'Rak. I know they've only been 4-3 DEs but they're not getting sacks in this scheme, so we're wasting them. These guys are made to punish QBs and we should put them in whatever position helps them do that.

I'd start:

Jenkins - Cofield - Orakpo

Kerrigan - Fletcher - Riley - Jackson

Hall - Amerson at CB

Doughty - Wilson at S



or go all out after QBs:

Kerrigan - Cofield - Orakpo

Jackson - Fletcher - Riley - Jenkins

Hall - Amerson at CB

Doughty - Wilson at S



Think how scary it would be to have Orakpo and Kerrigan lining up on both ends to come after your QB every play.

If you read the link, you would see that Bowen is still expected to play in Denver.

And Rak is too small to be an effective every down 3-4 DE. If we start him at DE, we might as well just hand Moreno 100+ yards.

Who is that new cb wearing 23, he was ballin. Gave gameball to RG3 because with him running it just opens everything up, but Helu deserved it too.

There was one person on forum who just ragged on Helu every chance in preseason, i hope they can see now why so many like him. He is injury prone but when he plays he is great.

I gotta figure he will appeal, if nothing else it will delay the banishment a little while. I'd rather lose him against teams that don't have Peyton/Rivers.

His hearing has to be within 72 hours I believe. Either way the appeal will happen before the next game

Man, we gets no breaks lol. I swear everytime another player gets suspended, it's like 2 weeks or more before his appeal is heard. But it happens to one of our guys and we only get 72 hours? Oh well. My last hope is that his punishment gets reduced to one game, seeing as how precedent has been set from other appeals on suspensions for hard hits. But Merriweather is a longtime offender so we'll see.

Probably doesn't matter either way, Manning will shred this secondary and LB's next week.

The first penalty was a straightup shoulder to chest hit to a reciever that was running into him. Guess what two things are close to shoulders and chests??? Helmets and necks.

Maybe your talking about me? I dont know.I didnt rag on Helu every chance I got,but I did say I didnt think Helu looked that good in preseason,I thought Royster looked better than Helu did in preseason play.I dont think Roysters had a single carry? Helu has looked far better in reg season then I thought he looked in preseason.

Edit:I might have thought Keiland Williams looked better than Helu instead of Royster,cant remember now

If he keeps this up, I can see us getting a bunch of much needed extra picks for next years draft. (FD, Helu and Cousins). Not that I think we should trade Cousins, but I think that we will, and we'll get a 2nd and a 4th for him, somewhere around there.

Now why would you trade Helu? You have to have a backup to spell Morris, I wouldn't do it. I love Helu, he adds another dimension to the offense, we still haven't seen him do what he does best, the screen pass. Helu=a poor mans Larry Centers with lots of potential.

Then don't watch, Eeyore.

He had 11 carries for 84 yards.

Over his last two games....
Edit:
Hurricane pointed this out already - yes was referring to the last two weeks - in the article they clearly point that out as a "standout stat"

I don't think they are targeting him as much as thy are targeting players like him. The dude can't tackle. He has some of the worst fundamentals out there. He almost always leaves his feet, which they are calling almost every time now. He also never ever ever wraps up. When he leaves his feet he usually crosses his arm and leads with his forearms. It's basically the same as leading with your helmet.

If he would stay on the ground, drive through the tackle and wrap up he won't get fined. He keeps leaving his feet he will continue to get flagged, fined and suspended.
