    It's easy to second guess. Fans just want better results. Someone put a vine on another thread that showed the safety play on a loop. Not sure why Richard Rodgers was in at TE in that spot when he is clearly not the blocker that Quarless is. Rodgers gets blown up on the play and Lacy seems to have his vision into the line, but there appears to be a pretty good sized open area to his right if he just bounces it to the right of the line. He probably would have gotten a few yards of breathing room.

    I'm not so worried a giving up plays like this on occasion, when the bigger issue making the run game work consistently throughout the game. That will only help the passing game. MM and AR have had a sub-par running game in he past and AR was able to overcome because he had more overall talent at WR/TE. We are in a bit of a lull overall at those positions. We'll get great play from Jordy, probably Cobb eventually, but who after that?

    I'm pulling for Janis. The guy did all you asked him to do in preseason. Now all he needs is a chance. I know I sound like a broken record, but you can't coach height and speed. Janis has both.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    He was really hurt by being ill. Shingles, the professional athlete's menace.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
