He's also coming back from an injury isn't he?

And every year we start out 0-2 or 1-1, and give everyone a head start.

The defense can’t do basic stuff, plug a whole on the offensive line, cover wide open receivers, pressure the QB, stop the run. I don’t think D schemes have anything to do with coverage, tackling, basic stuff. These guys have been playing football their whole lives, but somehow, when they get here, they go brain dead and can’t function.

If Al Golden is holding anything back, he better show it next week. If we go into Cleveland without the defense ready, it could get ugly.

We can not afford to start out with a loss again.

But they're playing starters this preseason.... defense definitely looked soft, but it was extremely vanilla too.

I'll never forget the rude awakening they gave Johnny Fartball. That was epic.

I've played with standard grips for 40 years, but after trying the Jumbomax small I just feel like I have more control of the club. Everyone just has to find what works for them. My Father always played Callaways, while I prefer Taylor Made.
