Yeah Tony I do not think anyone important was hurt . One concerning thing is backside containment on defense . twice last night a NYG running back just made a simple cut back and no one was there on the backside because they were already cought inside . I wouldn’t mention this but Chris Spielman did and he said it was the 8th time in preseason the back side has been to aggressive. He said it should only happen 3 times in a season . Again these are all backups and guys fighting for jobs so hopefully it’s nothing.
 
I disagree...Tj Jones and Abdullah should have been cut after the game.

I'm not worried at all. I don't think our D will be all that good but i don't think they'll be garbage either. A bit worrisome but nothing to panic over. Teams don't even play their schemes to the fullest. A lot of vanilla plays with guys running all over the field...

Except ansah... he didn't really run anywhere. He kinda stood up, got blocked then stopped on every play. Dude sucks.

Bah! Whatever. He doesn't suck IMO. He's going to need to ball out if he's looking for that big contract next yr....
