Let's talk defense

It's got to catch up with him though, right? I mean he's gotta be sore today, right? How cool would it be if he isn't.

I wanted to add a comment about Rock Cartwright as well. How smart is Gibbs? Most coaches put a speedster back there and hope they break one or two runs a year. Gibbs puts a bowling ball back there who over the course of the season will pick up maybe 300 more yards than the sprinter by overpowering people. And he got a TD against Dallas anyway.

safeties play almost as long as CBs. initiating contact is much safer than being hit from your blind side.
