How bout our O line though? Obviously JD is good, but we all new that, but the O line…wow. Have not seen a quarterback with that much time since the Hogs. I was really down on Kingsbury but he was on fire tonight and the offense is buying what he is selling. I will be smiling bout this all week.

Also I hope Ekeler is back sooner than later. He is has been an intricate part of our O. 116 all purpose yards tonight before the injury?

I think the reason we are having trouble stopping the run is two fold . . . first, we are too worried about our secondary and so we keep more defenders back to help that . . . then, not sure why, but our tacking sucks. So many missed tackles. I think Payne had like 4 last night.

Yes if one of the links is broken the chain doesn’t work right, but I think our very expensive DT group needs to step it up regardless.

agreed with that 100% . . . but they are both getting doubled continuously while our edge defenders are sometimes being handled by RB's and TE's rather easily. If we were better on the outside it would certainly help them out a bit in the middle. But that is no excuse for the missed tackles like Payne had yesterday, i think i counted 3 or 4 on him that ended up in first down runs. That should not be happening!
