    If Mercilus is 1/2 of Barwin, the defense will be fine

    He probably wanted his streak to stay alive...but he's getting handled pretty easily.

    I was just gonna post this no way anyone man handles watt the way he's getting handled today ! He's just not 100 % as expected. He needs his back to be effective

    Might as well get the rust off now. You still have to account for the guy and he opens things up for other guys on defense to make a play.

    Everyone needs to take a deep breath.

    New rb, new qb, new slot, new outside opp hop, patchwork o line. Our offense will take time. Everyone expecting us to just start hanging 40 on folks is going to be dissappointed till our offense gels.

    I can't see how a defensive end would need to use their back? :cool:

    I don't know if we could expect Watt to be himself the first game back after no preseason or camp, doesn't mean he rushed back too soon, just means that it takes a bit to knock the rust off.

    I dont think we'd have to worry about that. Barwin isnt any better than #59.
