Smith had several nice little runs, keep it on the ground when you have a shotty QB and only a few to go.

Well I will say this..

I am starting to think it’s not Rod’s fault anymore. That it’s just the lack of talent on offense. He made the defense look respectable today against one of the best RBs in the league.

by MatthewDC on Oct 12, 2008 2:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

But remember

He’s the one who brought in Colletto and Brown. I think this might just be temporary though, because sooner or later AP will break out

Crap

Orlovsky got drilled and is having trouble standing. Calvin got sandwiched in between two big hits and is still on the ground. At least he caught the pass, though.

The defense is going to have to make a stand here and get a fumble, INT, or something if we are going to stay in this game..

You can’t give orlovsky back the ball needing a score to win or he’s gonna throw an INT
